You know, I got my start on Naboo, same as the Emperor. Small galaxy, huh? Can't claim to know the guy, but I did meet him once or twice at formal gatherings. He was already a big cheese by then. Frankly, I doubt he gave someone like me a second thought. 
I spent most of the Clone Wars in administrative roles around Theed, with the occasional trips to the Spice Moons or Coruscant. Didn't see any of the action.
In fact, just about the only Clones I saw were the security detachment of veterans who guarded the Palpatine estates. From what I understood, their posting was a reward for exemplary service. But they also helped to deter some of the more political vandalism. Decent enough guys, but they kept to themselves. 
Of course, Captain Panaka didn't take it too kindly. He was the Head of Royal Security on Naboo. A bit of an enigma: Always seemed like he wanted to lead an army, but he supported the Queens when they voted against the establishment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Must've had a fit when he heard that it was a Gungan delegate who proposed the Emergency Powers bill!
So anyway, when the Clone troopers got their marching orders, he wasn't about to sit back and let them march around his territory without putting them to the test. Had them duel some of his best Gungan allies to see how they would handle themselves. From how things turned out, I think they earned some grudging respect, at least. 

The photo isn't my best, but I'm very happy with the build itself. I even flipped the entire build horizontally so Captain Typho would have his eyepatch on the correct eye.

Really like this. It’s a good clean build - which I think fits the aesthetic of Naboo really well. As do the statues in the wall. And good use of the planet piece as the dome on the roof.

@Tariq j Thanks. I'm a bit gutted the photography wasn't as crisp as I'd like, but I'm not really able to retake the shot.
