Legend

this wide, circular courtyard was built near Naboo's Theed Palace, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The courtyard was split into two halves, with a tree-lined walkway running down the middle. The courtyard was created to foster and encourage enlightened thought and practice, in the wake of the brutal invasion of the Trade Federation. Holographic murals imbedded in the colonnade wall defining the courtyard's boundaries portrayed many of Naboo's greatest philosophers and artists, in keeping with the courtyard's themes. Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, many of the workers staged work stoppages and strikes in protest of the working conditions during the construction of the courtyard, but were swiftly arrested and silenced by the local security forces.
