Naboo is a planet in the fictional Star Wars universe.
It is the home planet of Queen Amidala and Jar Jar Binks, as well as Senator (later Supreme Chancellor and then Emperor) Palpatine. In The Phantom Menace, it was the site of a blockade by the Trade Federation, and a battle, the Battle of Naboo between the Federation and the native inhabitants.
Naboo does not have a molten core, and as such one could travel through the whole planet in an underwater submarine. This has resulted in many swamps and such on the surface. Naboo has prehapes the most diverse geography in the Star Wars universe. It has mountains, lakes(there is a "Lake Country" that is featured in Attack of the Clones), forests and swamps.
