- "I was seven, and the planet we were evacuating was called Shadda-Bi-Boran. The sun was dying and we managed to relocate the entire populace, but we couldn't replicate the environment properly. Whatever nutrients they got from their sun, they couldn't get anywhere else."
- ―Padmé Amidala, to Rush Clovis
A star in the Outer Rim Territories[1] was orbited by the planet Shadda-Bi-Boran.[3] In 39 BBY,[4] the star began to die, prompting the evacuation of Shadda-Bi-Boran's population by a relief group that included Padmé Naberrie and her father Ruwee of Naboo,[3] as well as Onaconda Farr.[5] However, the evacuees had been dependent on nutrients from their sun that they could not get anywhere else, resulting in their deaths when Shadda-Bi-Boran's environment could not be properly replicated.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Shadda-Bi-Boran's star was first canonically mentioned in the 2019 novel Queen's Shadow, written by E. K. Johnston.[3] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the star Shadda[6] was first mentioned in the deleted scene "Padmé's Bedroom" from the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones,[7] and was first named in the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas.[6]

- ↑ According to Queen's Shadow, Padmé Amidala was fourteen during the Invasion of Naboo, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places in 32 BBY. Therefore, her date of birth can be placed in 46 BBY. Since the mission to Shadda-Bi-Boran occurred when Amidala was seven, the date of 39 BBY can be deduced using simple math.
