Skirmish on Risha Synata's ship

A skirmish took place on the starship of famous actress Risha Synata. Synata was a spy for the Confederacy of Independent Systems and worked under Count Dooku. In order to gain his favor, she orchestrated a plot invite senators, who were unconvinced of joining the Separatist Alliance, and gas them to advance her goals. She also presented her historic plays in ways that would favor Dooku. She invited Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his wife, senator Padmé Amidala to watch a play.

After meeting with Synata, they visited her Madam Synata's Genius of A Thousand Faces Museum the following day. But while they were visiting they were surrounded by the actress' mannequins who were ordered to attack them. The couple attacked back with Skywalker using his lightsaber to destroy many of the mannequins. They then ran through the Endor exhibit with attacking Ewoks and the Ando Prime exhibit before reaching a dinner display as the hoard of mannequins closed in. Realizing they were surrounded, Amidala and Skywalker locked themselves in the dinner. Amidala found a door but discovered it was fake, her husband then slashed it open with his lightsaber as the mannequins broke in and ran their way. A secret hallway was beyond the fake door as the senator and the Jedi Knight ran down it. They came to a banner with the Separatist hex icon and snuck behind it. They arrived at the bridge of the ship where the hologram of the Head of State of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and Sith Lord Count Dooku appeared.

R2-D2 began to worry about the safety of Skywalker and Amidala but C-3PO insisted that they were alright even though R2 went to investigate anyway. On the bridge of the ship, a prerecorded hologram message of Count Dooku to Syanata played. In the message, Dooku thanked Synata for helping take down Senator Amidala. Going through a computer, Amidala learned that Synata had been changing the history in her plays in order to push the Separatist Alliance agenda. She also had a list of names of senators who she could not convince to join the Separatist. She planned to invite them to a show that night and release deadly dioxis gas.

But then the actress' LEP-series service droids began to attack the couple. As they fought off the droids, R2-D2 used a control panel to slowly override the servant droid's programming. The droids began to end their fight against the Jedi and the senator, Synata's officers frantically worked to fix them as the actress prepared for her play. After defeating the servant droids, Skywalker and Amidala made their way to the theater where Amidala planned to evacuate the audience while Skywalker planned to confront the actress.

While Amidala ordered the senators out of the theater, Skywalker snuck backstage and stole one of the maska from the actors. Synata was already on stage gloating at Amidala with her gas mask on. The Jedi Knight then confronted Syanta who refused to surrender without a fight. They both activated their lightsabers as the dioxis gas was released. But Skywalker quickly dodged and blocked Synata's attacks and disarmed her, forcing her to surrender.
