The Invasion on Naboo was the third major battle in the Conquest of the Death Watch in 18 ABY. With the help of the Imperial Remnant, the Death Watch were able to invade the planet without any Republic interference. With the foothold they needed to begin fighting, the Imperial Remnant again paid Theta and his army for their work. However, Theta learned of the location of an experimental hyperdrive and also found out that an old opponent of his, Echon Tarkin, was there as well. He quickly ordered an attack on its secret location, an orbital platform, Entrench Station, above Sluis Van.
