## History

### Birth and Studies

Sheev Palpatine was born on the Planet of Naboo in 82 BBY, being born to the high class Palpatine family. Palpatine was raised in the Capital of Naboo, Theed, where he would go to form multiple connections. He would form these connections with many credible politicians at the time, learning more about government and studying governance and the subtilities of power. Sheev would also learn a valuable skill, Manipulation.

### Becoming a Sith

It is fairly unknown on how Sheev came to study under the sith, but it is known that he had been chosen to become the sith apprentice to Darth Plagueis, donning the name "Darth Sidious"

### Starting Politics and Early Double Life

With help from his master, Darth Plagueis, Sheev started his career in the political workings of the galaxy. with the aid gained from his master, he became the senator of Naboo in the Galactic Republic Senate. while in his Sith double life, he had decided to have a Sith Apprentice of his own. Travelling to Dathomir, and taking an apprentice named Darth Maul, while he was yet but a child. By taking an apprentice under his wing, Sheev had broken the Sith code of the rule of two, therefore he broke into his master's apartment late at night and killed him. Afterwards, Sheev would begin planning the clone war, Training Maul, and recruiting Count Dooku to begin construction of the clone army, while Sheev, as sidious would talk to the Trade Federation convincing him to do his bidding with promise of grand wealth. Sidious would also then talk to the Geonosian, Poggle the lesser, helping him rise to archduke, and in turn, Poggle produced millions of B1 Series Battle Droids in the droid foundries on Geonosis. After everything was prepared, Sidious would orchestrate the Invasion of Naboo, ordering the Trade Federation to eliminate the Jedi Ambassadors who came to negotiate with the trade federation on their new borne hostilities. The Trade Federation failed at killing the two Jedi, letting them escape. Increased Tensions arose and the trade federation began their invasion on Naboo, taking over Theed, and demanding that the queen sign a peace treaty. However, the two Jedi from before rescued the Queen, and escaped, prompting Sidious to send Darth Maul, now fully trained and grown, to re-capture the queen, however, Maul would be defeated by one of the Jedi Ambassadors, during the battle of Naboo, that being Obi Wan Kenobi, presumably killing him.

### Main Political Career

Sheev, after orchestrating the invasion of Naboo, greeted the Queen of Naboo on the republic home world of Coruscant, where the queen was going to plead her case to the senate about the many hostilities on Naboo. Sheev convened with her and said that the Senate would not care, as they were past caring about the common good, with the current chancellor, Valorum being essentially powerless against them. Sheev proposed two choices towards the queen; push for the election of a stronger leader, or take it through the courts, a much longer process. The queen took Palpatines advice and decided to push for the election of a stronger leader, with Sheev being nominated to become chancellor, alongside Bail Antilles of Alderaan. Ultimately, Sheev won the election for Supreme Chancellor and would be looked upon with good graces by the galaxy and the senate alike. But while in the background, Sheev was in his alter ego, continuing to orchestrate the clone war.
