[Queen Veruna appears once again. The blue-scaled hologram is seated at her throne this time, handmaidens on either side. She is dressed in full regalia, with face painted white, just as before.]

"For those of you who have been with us for some time, today marks your final mandatory day within the Refugee Program. I speak with you tonight in order to bid you a fond farewell, should you choose to leave Naboo. I hope our Dispersion Program has been helpful and has successfully equipped you for a life beyond our atmosphere. It has always been the will and the hope of my administration that we work with you in order to help you assimilate into our galaxy and find your own home among its stars.

Watch over yourselves and be aware of those who might try to take advantage of your naivete. Should you need extra time here on Naboo, we welcome you to stay, but we also encourage you to venture into the galaxy once you've collected yourself. Many worlds and wonders await you."

[She bows her head in closing and the hologram blinks out.]

[A petite woman stands in full regalia, her face painted stark white. Perfect red circles adorning her cheekbones and a stripe of red down the center of her lower lip are the only color to her features, and she wears an elaborate headdress that seems almost half her size. Her face is solemn, but not unkind, and she speaks in a practiced ceremonial accent.]

"Greetings, I am Queen Veruna of Naboo. We welcome you heartily to our world and are glad you have found safe passage here.

There are many of you who will soon be cleared to leave Naboo and carve your own way in the galaxy. Please remember that you must meet our specified criterion before you will be allowed to leave - the Refugee Dispersion Program was designed is for your edification as well as your safety. Once you have been approved, you will be introduced to your droids and ship and we wish you well on your adventures.

These are dark times you have arrived in, I am afraid. While war has been a quiet shadow throughout the systems in the wake of the Empire's destruction, I fear it has gained immeasurable momentum in these past few weeks. The First Order draws strength and the Republic lies wasted. Should you find the political climate too treacherous, please know you are welcome to remain in Naboo. We are a peaceful people and shall remain so. If you do decide to leave our world, be mindful that danger is ever present.

[Queen Veruna bows her head in closing and as she primly takes a seat at her throne, the hologram blinks out]
