[edit] Reign

After the events of the prequel movie Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Queen Amidala completed her two constitutionally permitted terms as Naboo's elected monarch. In the succeeding elections, Queen Jamillia was chosen to become the new Queen. Queen Jamillia asked Padmé to continue serving the people of Naboo. Even though she had every right to retire and to seek a new career in the private sector, Padmé agreed and became Naboo's representative in the Galactic Senate.

In Episode II: Attack of the Clones, two assassination attempts on Padmé's life were made; Jamillia became personally concerned for Padmé's safety during the Separatist crisis, and helped conceal her presence on Naboo when the young Senator was hiding from would-be assassins with her soon-to-be lover Anakin Skywalker.

[edit] Abdication

As the Clone Wars dragged on, Jamillia increasingly became convinced that Count Dooku's criticisms of the Old Republic's incompetence and corruption were correct. As her unpopular sentiments became public, the people and government forced her to step down. Jamillia had stated that she no longer had faith in the Republic. Jamillia made these feelings clear, and was asked to abdicate in favor of a new and more effective monarch. Jamillia, however, did stay until the election was over, supporting then Princess of Theed Apailana the whole way through; when the time came, Apailana helped the former Queen to leave Naboo peacefully. It was rumored Jamillia left, because she was frightened of what the Naboo would do to her outside the Palace, seeing as she was not going to be asked to continue within Government, due to her beliefs. However, Queen Apailana did not hold this against her.
