Senate Resolution BR-0371
Canon Linked from 16 articles
Senate Resolution BR-0371 was passed by the Galactic Senate in 32 BBY after the failed Eriadu Trade Summit. It created taxation for hyperspace routes in the Outer and Mid Rims, with the profit going to pay off the growing budget crisis in the Galactic Republic. Senator Palpatine of Naboo, who was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, was a prominent supporter of the resolution.
Darth Sidious used BR-0371 to convince the Trade Federation to blockade Naboo. The plan to get rid of it was to have Queen Padmé Amidala sign a "treaty" making Naboo a Federation protectorate to legitimize their occupation, which would be sent to the Senate. Instead, the Queen turned the tables and forced the Viceroy to sign another treaty.
