Chancellor Palpatine sat behind his desk with two Royal Guards by the door.

The Secret Sith Lord Darth Sidious, thought about how his plan was coming on perfectly.

He would begin The Clone Wars, by have Senator Amidala assassinated.

The plan itself involved eventually killing the woman of considerable influence, plant the evidence of The Separatists, namely Count Dooku being involved, and turn The Former Queen of Naboo into a martyr for the cause.

She had initially was opposing the Military Creation Act due to her belief in negotiations first over violence and the fact an actual Galactic War would destroy so many worlds.

That's if The Republic built their own army to counter the rumors of The Separatist's own growing forces, it would lead to an escalation that would lead to untold suffering.

Which was exactly what Sidious was hoping for when The Clone Wars happened and was trying to set into motion.

"I don't know how long I can hold off the vote in The Senate my friends." Said the kindly voice of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine while looking at The Jedi Masters and Senators in the room.

The Jedi had some of their most respected members, here so they could talk about this.

Yoda, Plo-Koon, Mace Windu, and somehow Ki-Adi-Mundi sat in front of The Chancellor with serious faces.

"If they do break away--" Mace began but The Supreme Chancellor stoped him.

"I will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years be split in two. My negotiations will not fail." Palpatine said firmly.

He had told everyone in The Senate of his plan to speak to Count Dooku in order to have a peaceful resolution to his actions of enflaming The Separatists Movement.

"If they do, you must realize there aren't enough Jedi to protect The Republic. We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers." Said Master Windu since he knew that while The Jedi Order numbers in the tens of thousands, a Galactic War tended too thin the numbers rather quickly.

Any future conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Senator Amidala and some of her body guards.

She had just survived yet another Assassination attempt by one of Sidious's agents.

It had cost her quite a few bodyguards, handmaidens, and a loyal body double assigned to impersonate her on the Senatorial Nubian Yacht.

It had been a devastating blow to Padme personally since she knew many of these people and they had signed up to willingly give their lives for her. Nevertheless, Padme was determined, and stood by her convictions in opposing The Military Creation Act.

She would not allow these attempts to sway her or the Senate to build an army that would essentially provoke a full blow Galactic War.

Over the past decade since The Battle of Naboo, there had been a growing movement for a break-up of The Republic.
