11. Invasion and Treaty: Sidious

Author - Anakin Skywalker 2005

Note 11:
Rune Hakko and Nute Gunray,

Very good. I have been hearing all kinds of reports about how you are invading the planet. I have heard rumors that you have even taken Theed. Is that true?

I have not heard a word about that treaty yet. Have you made one? Has the Queen signed it?

And what about the Jedi? Are they alive, or are they dead? I want answers. You think the Jedi escaped? Possible, but are you sure? I want proof. Did you see them alive? They are probably alive since you haven't found their bodies yet.

You better not let them escape…..or I'm going to have to send my apprentice to you, and I would rather keep him out of this…..I'm not sure it's a good idea to reveal the Sith yet.

What is next in the plan? Well first off, I NEED to know whether the Jedi are alive yet, and I need to know whether you have taken Theed yet. If you have NOT taken Theed yet, take it now. Take all the rulers of Naboo and put them in camps. Make a treaty and have the queen sign it.

Once the treaty is signed, take it to your Senators on Coruscant. Have them present it to the Senate…..and the Senate will have no choice but to accept it. I have already pushed for laws about the legality of treaties, and how they must be accepted. I did that way back when I was first elected to Naboo. I have pushed for other actions that will force them to recognize you as leaders of Naboo once the treaty has been signed.

If she escapes, keep me updated on the progress, but do NOT WITHOLD any information from me. Is that clear?

Darth Sidious
