Amidala's Head of Security, Captain Gregar Typho, feared that returning to Coruscant might put the senator in danger, so Amidala disguised herself as a pilot and flew in one of the N-1 starfighters escorting the barge while her handmaiden Cordé took her place as a decoy.

The barge and its escort then landed on one of Coruscant's landing platforms, and Cordé began to disembark down the ship's ramp.

==Behind the scenes==
Theomet Danlé was portrayed by Steve John Shepherd in the 2002 prequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. The character was credited only as "Naboo officer" in the film and in the current Star Wars canon was identified by name in the "Starship Fact File" department of the Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine's fifty-fifth issue, which was written by Tim Veekhoven and published around January 20, 2016 The name originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was created by user "winstonvalleyjedi" as part of the character's backstory through StarWars.com's Hyperspace feature "What's The Story?," which ran from 2005 to 2008.
In the non-canon 2022 video game LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Danlé is depicted wearing a cap rather than a helmet, and delivers the same dialogue as in the film; however, both the lieutenant and a Naboo Fighter Pilot accompanying them struggle to keep their footing during the scene as the J-type diplomatic barge performs a roll in space. The pilot then rushes away to be sick, prompting Danlé to look uncomfortable before producing a bucket and following the pilot. The pilot is later seen with the bucket on their head after the barge explodes.LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
