Author's Notes:

Timeframe: From the beginning of TPM through ROTJ events

The quick background story of the Padmé and Bail Notes-

In my stories, Bail Antilles and Bail Organa are the same person, and Bail will change his last name to Organa later in the story. The Captain Antilles in ROTS and mentioned in ANH is Bail's cousin, with the same first and last name (Bail Antilles).

The Senate has been informed of the trade dispute on Naboo. Sharing his concern for a fellow system in the Republic, Bail writes to Queen Amidala to express his concerns.

And the story begins...

Note 1:
Queen Amidala,

Hello. You probably have never heard of me, but my name is Bail Antilles. I'm the Senator from the planet Alderaan. I've been concerned over the Trade Federation's presence on your planet. I wanted to let you know that Supreme Chancellor Valorum, has sent a request to the Jedi Council to try and get ambassadors to settle this whole issue. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of your situation, and that other members of the Senate are concerned as well.

Senator of Alderaan,

Bail Antilles
