Fall of Theed

The Siege of Theed was one of the first battles of the Invasion of Naboo.

Immediately after capturing other Naboo cities, OOM-9, head command battle droid, attacked the Naboo capital of Theed, his forces led with deadly AATs. Battle droids poured into the city, occupying important districts and killing all Royal Naboo Security Forces that opposed them. Without an official army, Naboo's capital soon fell to the Droid Army of the Trade Federation.

AATs drove right up to Theed Royal Palace which was infiltrated with Queen Amidala, Captain Panaka, and Theed governor, Sio Bibble, taken hostage.

When two Jedi tried to gain entry to the secured city, the central bridge across the Verdugo Plunge was blasted apart by an AAT, cutting the city off from other regions.
