Naboo Senatorial Delegation
this was the name used by Senator Palpatine and his entourage, during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo and Palpatine's promotion to Supreme Chancellor. The Delegation purposely downplayed the role of the Gungans as that of "simple-minded barbarians who have barely mastered the basic hallmarks of civilization," indicating the roots of Palpatine's xenophobia.
