Meanwhile, the Acclamators moved in on the largest platform, and Starkiller and a group of Stormtroopers shuttled over in a gunship. But the faster V-Wings were more than a match, and all of the N-1s were shot down. Bringing the fleet into line, the Venators mowed down the satellites quickly and efficiently.Īlerted to the fleets presence, the waiting N-1s took off from the orbital refinement platforms to engage, serving as the second line of defense. Upon exiting out of hyperspace, Starkiller was taken off-guard by the large amount of automated satellite defenses, instantly losing an Acclamator. Alongside CC-6007 "Rommel", Appo's replacement, they brought a sizeable fleet to the Nubian system to break through the space defenses. Palpatine sent his apprentice, Darth Starkiller, to lead the operation. The Naboo coordinated with the Gungans, specifically Rugor Nass, to ensure the planet did not fall to the Empire. Palpatine identified the seizure of these materials as important to ensure the Republic didn't attain a fleet large enough to challenge the Imperial Navy. The raw materials being mined from the moons of Naboo were being shipped to the Republic to construct ships, vehicles, and weapons. The Naboo, blissfully unaware of their impending doom, still expected an attack, and stationed N-1 starfighters at its orbital refinement platforms. The extinction plan was part of "Operation: Humanity", a military operation to eliminate all non-humans from the galaxy and ensure human dominance. He decided to destroy the Gungans before they could propegate throughout the galaxy. Representative Jar-Jar Binks may have given Palpatine the emergency powers days before the Clone Wars began, but nevertheless, Jar-Jar was still incredibly stupid, let alone all Gungans. At the same time, he was also growing extremely annoyed by the Gungans. Emperor Palpatine responded that he "didn't wish for his homeworld to join idealists who support the corrupt, warlike Jedi", and began making plans to punish the Naboo.



The day before the genocide, the Nubian government declared its independence from the new Galactic Empire, pledging its support for the Republic. Darth Starkiller personally led the operation. The operation had several objectives, among them to destroy the restless Nubian government, drive the absolutely annoying Gungans to extinction, and sieze valuable minerals the miners on the Nubian moons were sending to the Galactic Republic's government-in-exile. Senator Padme Skywalker was suspected of harboring Jedi fugitives, a rumor that turned out to be true. The Theed Genocide was a massive military operation carried out by the Galactic Empire against the planet of Naboo.
