After the long journey through Hyperspace, the ship finally arrived on the capital planet. It swerved and twisted it's way through the crowded skies and clouds until it landed itself on a platform not too far from the Senatorial District. Before departing, the Queen stood before all of her handmaidens and security force. She was dressed in a beautiful black gown and headdress, truly fitting a Queen of Naboo.

"Everyone, I'm glad to welcome you once again to Coruscant..... Though for some of you this will be a first time visit...... There has been a slight change of plan, instead of visiting the Senate, we are instead going to Senator Naberrie's residence to meet with her..... The Senate meeting has been postponed until tomorrow morning, which gives me time to discuss some important matters with the Senator...... I ask you to treat the Senator with the utmost respect...... As she will to you......"

With that the Queen turned to face the ramp that was lowering from her starship. In front of her walked some security guards who were ready with their blasters in the case of an attack. The Queen then walked with her handmaidens following behind, and behind them more guards. It was quite a procession. As they left the ramp of the starship, many cheers could be heard from passers by of Westport who had clearly been aware that the Queen was scheduled for arrival on this day.

Asané walked beside Amelia, giving her a smile every now and then for reassurance. She hoped that she was not too nervous during all of this, as she knew that she herself had been once upon a time.

The company then entered an airtaxi, which soon lifted off and left for Pooja Naberrie's apartment. Asané smiled as she gazed through the skies of Coruscant.

"It's beautiful here isn't it..... Although, I still favour Naboo above all the planet we have visited..... Nothing holds beauty like it does, but this place is impressive..... So much glass and steel......" She spoke to Amelia as they waited for the arrival.

"It's wonderful," Amelia replied, truly amazed by the complete contrast of scenery that she was now witnessing. Naboo was soft and gentle, full of pastel colours and sweet smells. Coruscant was sharp and metallic, with vibrant colours and an even more vibrant energy.

Seeing a building far off in the distance, Amelia squinted against the sun reflecting off the glass of a nearby skyscraper and saw that unlike all the other buildings here, that one was made of crumbling stone. Parts of the wall had broken down completely and it looked a ruin.

"What is that place?" she asked. "It looks like some sort of temple."

Amelia sighed a little, "Yes, it was once..... The Jedi Temple, it is a constant reminder and warning to us all what the Empire is capable of....... It gives me chills to look on it......" She shook herself a little to cheer up the mood, "Well, it won't be long until we arrive, I can see the building already, look..." She said pointing to a tall building. It had once been the residence of the Senator's aunt, Padmé Amidala.
