"During the rise of the Empire, the Emperor's home planet of Naboo rapidly established itself as a major irritant. After a number of Naboo's ambassadors were sent home in various states of dismemberment, her newly elected Queen broke off diplomatic ties, and began exploring military options. Clearly it was time for a regime change, a change that would be effected by the 501st, now under the direct command of Darth Vader."
―Anonymous 501st Legion stormtrooper
Because of Queen Apailana's polite and subtle refusal to accept the New Order, the Empire harbored suspicions about her true allegiance.
This state of unease kept up for one year, until Darth Vader found out that the Naboo were hiding Jedi refugees trying to escape the Great Jedi Purge. Vader ordered Apailana's execution on the charges of treason, but knowing her guards would expect the assassination attempt on her, he sent the 501st Legion, an elite group of stormtroopers, to deal with the Royal Naboo Security Forces.
Naboo's capital of Theed was placed under siege by the 501st immediately when the city would not surrender its queen, however, bold Naboo security guards defended their home well with loyal soldiers of the Royal Naboo Security Force. The 501st Legion landed in the royal plazas and engaged the nearby Naboo soldiers, quickly securing their landing area.
The Theed Palace was well defended by a grid of powerful particle cannon turrets which were controlled by a console near the palace gates. The Imperial soldiers managed to secure a landing zone on the side of the royal plaza, establishing a perimeter around the palace.
501st Legion stormtroopers, under support fire from a AT-ST, worked their way onto the balcony where the auto-turret grid console was guarded. They saturated the area with grenades, killing the guards and detonating the console.
Imperial troopers skirmished with Naboo forces inside Theed Palace. Shortly after the deactivation of the defensive turrets, Apailana broke out of the palace in a last effort to flee to the hangar, under escort of several Jedi Masters and Padawans the queen was previously suspected and accused of harboring. The Jedi, though formidable, were outnumbered, surrounded by the stormtroopers, and ultimately exterminated, but not before they killed many of the stormtroopers that attacked them head on.
Shortly after the Queen appears, a hidden imperial sniper shot the queen with a high powered sniper rifle. Her escorts were surrounded and executed by stormtroopers thereafter.
