Varykino Villa

Varykino Villa was located in Naboo's Lake Country on an island of the same name. The isolated estate was owned by the royal government and was used as a private refuge from the planet's capital Theed by several renowned members of the Naboo people, including Omar Berenko, a poet who occupied the villa centuries before the Invasion of Naboo.

By the time of the Fall of the Republic the estate was maintained by the Naberrie family, offering Padmé Naberrie a secluded safe haven that she visited throughout her career as both the planet's Queen and senator. During the Separatist Crisis, Amidala hid away at Varykino with her Jedi protector Anakin Skywalker to escape an assassination plot. The two fell in love with each other during their time together and later married at the estate following the outbreak of the Clone Wars.

By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the grounds had been abandoned and entered a state of disrepair. Varykino became a meeting place for the Amidalans, a group dedicated to avenging the death of the late Senator Amidala. In 3 ABY, the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader, formerly Anakin Skywalker, returned to Varykino alongside Sabé, the handmaiden of Padmé and the leader of the Amidalans. They met with former Royal Security officers Gregar Typho and Tonra before leaving the estate in a Gungan bongo submarine.
