Note 7

Five years after the Trade Federation Invasion

One year later

Padme,

Well, I hope that you will never have to worry about Coruscant's media. You won't have to, if you remain on Naboo. ;)

You said that there are still a lot of things that you have planned for Naboo, and that this second term will allow you a chance to accomplish them. What all are you planning to do, sis?

How many handmaidens do you have? I'd like to hear more about them.

Do you still keep in touch with Sabe? I'm sorry to hear about her son. I don't know what I would do if something were to happen to my Ryoo. If Sabe's son had been taken somewhere on the Outer Rim, he could be anywhere. The Maurders are out there, and they are not part of the Republic. Both Arawn and I were kidnapped by Maurders. That's probably what happened to Sabe's son. What is his name? He probably was sold into slavery somewhere.

I hope that you haven't felt too lonely with me around. Arawn's had a lot of far away assignments, and so he suggested that I stay here with you. What do you think of my daughter? I know that Ryoo's just a year old, but she's really impressing me. I didn't know that being a mother would be quite like this. It is very tiring at time, but at the same time, it is very rewarding. You should try it sometime ;) First, we'll have to find you a guy, though. You do so well with Ryoo!! Wouldn't you like to have a child of your own someday?

I have to admit that your 'forcing' me to stay her on Naboo when I was pregnant with Ryoo was relaxing. It was nice not having to travel as much. You do know how to take care of a pregnant sister!!

Have you heard about the Trade Federation causing riots on Coruscant and across the galaxy? Nute Gunray, who is unfortunately still the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, has been going on an attack against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. There has been talk that this might even lead to war. I don't want that – not for the galaxy – and not for my daughter. I don't want her to grow up in a galaxy that is at war with itself. Nute Gunray has threatened to pull the Trade Federation out of the Republic unless his demands are met – as if he was in a position to make demands to ANYONE in the Republic!! What do you think of these events?

Your sister,

Sola

Congrats on your election as Senator, sis. How are you? How is everything going in the Senate?

I've heard that some Count somebody or other has decided to break away from the Republic, and that he could have the Trade Federation on his side. Is this all true, or it just someone's idea of joke news?
