Bibble: ...how will you explain this invasion to the Senate?

 

Nute Gunray: The Naboo and the Federation will forge a treaty that will legitimize our occupation here. I've been assured it will be ratified by the Senate.

 

Queen Amidala: I will not co-operate.

 

Nute Gunray: Now, now, your Highness. You are not going to like what we have in store for your people. In time, their suffering will persuade you to see our point of view.

We learn in the opening crawl of The Phantom Menace that the Trade Federation has set up a blockade around Naboo in response to taxation of trade routes. The opening crawl states:

Queen Amidala: "Honorable representatives of the Republic, I come to you under the gravest of circumstances. The Naboo system has been invaded by the droid armies of the Trade…"

Lott Dod: "I object! There is no proof! This is incredible. We recommend a commission be sent to Naboo to ascertain the truth."

Senator Teem: "The Congress of Malastare concurs with the honorable delegate from the Trade Federation. A commission must be appointed."

"They need her to sign a treaty to make this invasion of theirs legal. They can't afford to kill her."
