*Pantora in peril! The newly elected chairman of Pantora, Baron Papanoida, is caught in a deadly political game. The Trade Federation has blockaded Pantora and suspended all commerce with the system. Isolated from the rest of the Republic, the people of Pantora are beginning to rally against the Senate who have seemed unsympathetic to their plight. Making matters worse, Count Dooku has come forward offering aid. if Pantora joins the Separatist Alliance. Chairman Papanoida has dispatched Senator Chuchi to Coruscant with the hope that she can motivate the Senate to act in favor of Pantora before Lott Bod can legitimize the blockade

~In the Senate chambers on Coruscant, every senator gathers in the giant room, Chuchi taking center stage with Padme as support in a speech against the blockade

"The Trade Federation is neutral in this but Pantora must by their debt before we can resume trade." Lott Dod says

"That is a lie! It is well known that the Trade Federation is aligned with Separatists." Chuchi fires back

"Slanderous! We are not Separatists simply because we do business with them. How many times must I remind you of the Commerce Treaty of 1647? The Trade Federation is Neutral." Lott repeats

"I beg the Senate to listen to our pleas. Ignore the Trade Federation's feeble attempt to paint this as a domestic financial issue and allow us to resume trade." Chuchi says to the Senate

~The Senate quickly applauses and Chuchi looks up towards where her Senate pod slot, seeing Zariman watch the speech

~After the speech, Padme walks out of her Senate pod door and sees Zariman and Chuchi conversing 

"Senator Chuchi." Padme calls out walking towards her "I want to compliment you on your speech." Padme says

"Thank you, Padme. The Separatist does not frighten me." Chuchi responds

"I just want you to know that there are many of us in the Senate that support your cause. I know the Separatist have offered their help to your people. Please do not take it." Padme says

"Don't worry, Senator. I will never let Pantora have dealings with the Separatists." Chuchi assures "If you will excuse me, the chairman has arrived and I must head on my way to greet him." Chuchi says to Padme
