Battle dress

Battle dresses were clothing worn Monarch of Naboo and her handmaidens to engage in combat. During Padmé Amidala's reign as the Queen of Naboo, they were worn as training uniforms by her handmaidens. When Captain Quarsh Panaka, the leader of Amidala's security forces, suggested that she observe her handmaidens during their combat training, Amidala decided to participate by disguising herself in the same maroon and gold training uniform.

During the invasion by the Trade Federation, the handmaidens' battle dresses were worn by Amidala and four of her handmaidens while the Queen's decoy, Sabé, wore the royal red and black battle dress.

Amidala wore a maroon battle dress for another skirmish on her homeworld when she was the Senator of Naboo during the Clone Wars.
