Striding into the throne room, Panaka bows to Queen Amidala, and says, ”Your Highness, we have just detected a large fleet coming out of hyperspace. We have been unable to ascertain their origins or intentions as of yet, but they seem to be maneuvering in a hostile manner. We should evacuate the palace and move to a more secure location.”
The Queen blinked in surprise, then said, ”Captain Panaka, we do not know whose ships these are. How can we be sure they are a threat? I will not abandon Theed when we have not ascertained their intentions. It is important the people see me stand strong, and not fleeing at the first sign of trouble. We must remain here. If you wish, you may prepare the palace defenses, but do not activate them until I give the word.”

”Very well, Your Highness.” An unhappy look on his face, Panaka bows again and leaves the throne room, already on his comlink, issuing orders to his men to ready the shield generator and defensive emplacements, as well as to prepare fighter craft.

One hour later…

Captain Panaka again walks into the Throne Room. The Queen has a concerned look on her face, and her advisors are debating about the nature of the Mandalorians. Seeing him, she says, ”Captain Panaka, do you have an update for us?”

Bowing, he says, ”Yes, Your Highness. The ships have moved into a blockade format. Ships that are trying to leave are given a warning shot and told to turn back to the planet. We do not yet know the demands of these ships.”

At this point, Panaka’s comlink beeps, and he answers. ”Sir, we’re being hailed by the blockading ships. Shall I patch it through?”

”Yes, send the communication to the throne room.” Panaka goes over to the queen’s personal holocom unit and activates it, receiving the transmission. A human-sized, armored figure holding a blaster rifle appears above the pad, looking directly at the queen.

”The planet of Naboo is now under blockade by the United Mandalorian fleet. All communications outside the system have been severed, and no ship will be permitted to land on or leave this planet. Any attempts to breach the blockade will be met with hostility. We are dispatching a garrison force to the capital of Theed. Any resistance will be met with violence, upon both combatants and noncombatants alike.” The figure fixes its gaze on Queen Amidala. ”I will be clear: do not attempt to escape, do not resist, or you will be executed.” The transmission then ends.

Queen Amidala turns to Captain Panaka and says, ”Captain, order the Royal Security Forces to stand down and cooperate with the Mandalorians. I will not condone a military response that puts my people in danger.”

”Yes, Your Highness,” Captain Panaka says. He wanted to argue for resisting the occupation, but if these truly were Mandalorians, his people didn’t have the military resources to handle them. Mandalorians were renowned as fierce fighters, and though his people were well-trained, he didn’t care to test them against that fleet. He wished Naboo had a stronger military presence. ”All forces, stand down and cooperate with the Mandalorians, by order of the Queen.” Plus, he couldn’t engage in actions that may result in the slaughter of civilians - and he could not disobey the Queen’s orders.
