Naboo

Naboo was a bountiful planet in the Chommell sector of the Mid Rim, in the Trailing Sectors and close to the border of the Outer Rim. It was home to the indigenous Gungan species and a population of humans known as the Naboo. 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.
Under his secret Sith guise of Darth Sidious, Palpatine secretly engineered an illegal invasion of his peaceful homeworld by the Trade Federation in a bid for power. Ostensibly done in protest over the proposed taxation of free trade routes, the Federation's invasion led to an outpouring of support from the Senate for both Palpatine and the newly-elected Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala. Amidala led a successful resistance movement and removed the Federation from her world during the Battle of Naboo, while Palpatine subsequently rose to the office of the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, with Amidala taking his place as the planet's senatorial representative.
Naboo would commit itself firmly to democracy in the intervening years, staying loyal to the Republic during the pan-galactic Clone Wars, which saw several military engagements against the Confederacy of Independent Systems come to the planet. By the time of the war's end, Palpatine had amassed considerable power and proclaimed himself as Emperor of a new Galactic Empire transformed from the Republic. Palpatine's reign would eventually be ended by the Alliance to Restore the Republic, a galaxy-wide rebel movement led by Amidala's twin children, Luke and Leia Amidala Skywalker.
Despite his origins on the planet, Palpatine did not care at all for his homeworld and, following his death, Naboo was named a priority target for Operation: Cinder, a protocol that the Sith Lord had put in place to destroy Imperial worlds should they fail to protect him. Through the intervention of Leia and Queen Sosha Soruna, however, Naboo was spared from ruin and went on to become a member of the successor state to the Alliance, the New Republic.
