The office of the handmaiden on Naboo dated back from before King Jafan. It was believed to have evolved in response to the pressure on female monarchs to live in considerable isolation, and their heightened risk of assassination. Thus they required special companionship and protection. In the time of Jafan, they served only Queens, but since the 7th Century BBY, they had served senators and ambassadors as well. A Queen would traditionally have had at least five and up to thirteen handmaidens, a senator two or three, and an ambassador one or two.

  • The office of the handmaiden on Naboo dated back from before King Jafan. It was believed to have evolved in response to the pressure on female monarchs to live in considerable isolation, and their heightened risk of assassination. Thus they required special companionship and protection. In the time of Jafan, they served only Queens, but since the 7th Century BBY, they had served senators and ambassadors as well. A Queen would traditionally have had at least five and up to thirteen handmaidens, a senator two or three, and an ambassador one or two. The handmaidens had always been considered an elite guard, and those whom their mistress could have trusted above all others. They worked ruthlessly to safeguard their mistress' interests, and to keep her secrets. They were also something of a stealth guard; they tended to be unnoticed and/or underestimated. In the second half of the first century BBY, it became common for handmaidens to impersonate their mistress in times of danger, but this practice eventually became too well known to work effectively and was abandoned.
