Senator Palpatine,
Yes, something did happen to them. The Jedi were attacked but were able to escape from the planet. They have just arrived on Naboo but there is more that you must know.
The Trade Federation has taken over Theed with an Invasion Army and has tried to make me sign a treaty. I have not signed anything, of course, but they have invaded us all the same. Please inform the rest of the Senate of this because the Jedi and our meager defense army will not be enough to defeat the Trade Federation if they were to launch an attack.
