Andrevea River
The Andrevea River was a long waterway on the planet Naboo. During the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, it was the site of several incidents between pilots of the Royal Naboo Security Forces and the Trade Federation.
History
Edit
The Andrevea River stretched from Naboo's glacial regions to near the city of Ferentina before letting out into a swamp.[2] During the Trade Federation invasion of the planet in 32 BBY,[3] the Federation established slave camps for Naboo citizens on the banks of the river. In order to liberate the camps, Lieutenant Gavyn Sykes of the Royal Naboo Security Forces utilized a stolen Federation gunboat to travel down the river from a destroyed Federation base at the river's source to the mainland river delta, where the camps had been established. Passage along the river was blocked at the end of the Federation base by a wall, which Sykes blew through. He also had to contend with water-based mines and Federation patrols. Upon releasing the prisoners from the slave camps, Sykes led a convoy of Naboo civilians from the camps to Ferentina, where an ambush forced the convoy to continue on land and take Flashspeeders while Sykes took an N-X Police Cruiser. During the ambush, Ferentina was heavily damaged by Federation bombers.[1]
Behind the scenes
