Throne room ( Theed Royal Palace ) / Legends The marble - walled throne room of the Naboo monarchs was located in the heart of the Royal Palace of Theed , the capital of the Human inhabitants of Naboo . In that ceremonial chamber , the Naboo sovereign could hear the complaints and grievances of their people and meet their ministers . During the events of the Naboo Crisis in 32 BBY , the throne room was briefly occupied by Nute Gunray , Viceroy of the Trade Federation . Gunray was arrested there when Queen Amidala infiltrated the Palace to reclaim her throne . Layout . An immense , cavernous hall with a high , vaulted ceiling , the throne room could be accessed by visitors through a pair of ornamented doors located at the end of a long hallway . Those panels were in fact blast doors , providing extra reinforcements against potential aggressions . The Naboo monarch and their entourage , however , had their private entrance elsewhere . The walls and floor of the throne room were adorned with polished marble slabs that came in different colors , ranging from gray to red . One of those walls featured a viewscreen that allowed the monarch to communicate with the outside world without leaving their royal seat . The monarch ' s throne itself was an ornate chair on a raised podium fronted by a low , flat - surfaced divider with a composite holoprojector built into it . That throne dated back to the initial construction of the palace , but had been refitted with various new features over the centuries , including a secret compartment to conceal blaster pistols in case of emergency . Although the Naboo had always discouraged weapons , its ruler needed a last line of defense . Beyond that , the chamber was sparsely furnished . It contained nothing else but a work station that served as the sovereign ' s desk and a few seats reserved for the members of the Royal Advisory Council . Despite its bareness , the throne room was spectacular , with its ample windows that bathed the seated monarch in sunlight and offered an impressive panorama of the city . Theed was indeed an prosperous capital , and the ceremonial chamber of its rulers had been designed to reflect the city ' s glorous history . History . Around the year 832 BBY , Theed was founded by a group of colonists fleeing a revolution on their homeworld . A palace was built in the city , which became the seat of power of the Nabooian monarchy . It had many rooms designed to host important court occasions , such as meeting dinners . A throne room was built at the center of the palace , where the sovereign would meet their body of minister s , the Royal Advisory Council , and welcome foreign leaders . Additionally , the coronation ceremonies were held in the throne room , and so were the formal audiences with the Naboo monarch . During his reign , King Ars Veruna once held a party in the throne room , despite the fact that the Palace contained a banqueting hall . About eight centuries after the founding of Theed , late in 33 BBY , the young Padmé Naberrie was crowned Queen of the Naboo under the name of Amidala . The ceremony took place in the throne room , in the presence of Senator Palpatine and Governor Sio Bibble . Shortly afterwards , the armies of the Trade Federation invaded the planet Naboo after a long blockade , and the Royal Palace was occupied . While the legitimate ruler of Naboo , Queen Amidala , had fled the planet with two Jedi Knights , the Viceroy Nute Gunray , leader of the Federation , took his quarters in the throne room . After organizing the Nabooian resistance , the Queen and her allies infiltrated the Palace and confronted the Viceroy in the throne room , closing the blast doors and putting him under arrest .
