Naboo was pushed to the forefront of galactic politics as the birthplace of the Dark Lord of the Sith Sheev Palpatine, who served as its representative in the Senate of the Galactic Republic.
It was home to the Gungan species and to a population of humans known as the Naboo. Naboo was a bountiful planet in the Chommell sector of the Mid Rim, close to the border of the Outer Rim Territories. ' Naboo represents the best of the Old Republic.' ―Leia Organa, to Queen Sosha Soruna
