Shortly before the Blockade of Naboo, mercenaries attempted to kidnap Queen Amidala, leader of the Naboo. The mercenaries were secretly hired by the Trade Federation. The Federation lured the Queen of Naboo out to a remote region of space on the pretense of conducting negotiations. When the royal delegation reached the location, they were attacked by mercenaries. Unable to safely jump to hyperspace, the royal starship hid in an asteroid field as Bravo Flight pilots Essara Till and Rhys Dallows fended off waves of mercenary starfighters. Eventually, Queen Amidala escaped to hyperspace, but not the Bravo pilots.
