During the period spanning from the Battle of Naboo to the Clone Wars (as measured in years), spice mining operations on the moons orbiting Naboo experienced frequent work stoppages as the workers demanded a greater portion of the earnings. Certain fringe factions engaged in acts of petty political disruption, including the destruction of windows and security barriers, and even setting fire to an unoccupied warehouse located on Naboo.
