Note 17
One year after the Naboo Invasion
One year later:
Bail,
How were the parade and awards ceremony on Naboo? I know these things happened a year ago, but I was wondering if you still remembered.
Not surprisingly, the "trial," if it could have been called that, let the Trade Federation leaders off the hook. However, fortunately there is already a second trial scheduled for next year. Let us hope that the ruling is different. I don't know if we should hope differently for the outcome. I too would like to see the Trade Federation exiled from the Republic. There is little hope that will happen.
So the rumors are true then – Finis' wife is dead. I suppose that Finis was so devastated by his wife's death that he lost it….normally I wouldn't have thought he would have reacted in such a way. However, he had been under a lot of stress at the time. I have not heard of him being released from this unknown medical facility. I would assume that it is for Finis' protection that the Chancellor is the only one who knows Finis' location. However, this raises questions. It all depends on the trustworthiness of Chancellor Palpatine. Be sure to let me know if you have heard anything new about this. You are the only one who I have heard ANY news of Valorum from. It seems that most of the Senators in the Republic do not care about a former Supreme Chancellor. What is there to do about it if we do not know what the situation actually is? Out of curiosity, were you able to meet with the Supreme Chancellor after the celebration on Naboo, as you had scheduled?
We can talk from time to time, of course. It will be just that we are both likely to be on Coruscant at the same time during the annual Senate meeting.
Obi-Wan Kenobi has proved his own skills as a Jedi by destroying his Sith opponent last year. If anyone could train Anakin, it would be him.
How was your vacation on Alderaan? I would think that with the breaks that we have had in the Senate that you have had the opportunity to go home more often than you could during the Naboo incident.
Thank you. I hope all is well on Alderaan.
Until next year,
Correon Knightly
