 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
The Trade Federation is probably some sort of large corporation which originated within the Neimoidian species and which is still Neimoidian-dominated due to racism or other factors, but whose grasp extends far beyond the homeworld of its species.
Considering the corporate, non-violent background of the Trade Federation, it is most likely that they are deceiving her when they claim that her people are enduring great suffering: they are doing this for political gain, and mass slaughter of helpless civilians would not help them.
The only remaining loose end was the Trade Federation Viceroy and his aides, who he would have had to assassinate before their testimony could be used to trace him to his Darth Sidious persona in any way.

The movie opens above a planet called Naboo, where a group called the Trade Federation has blockaded the planet below in response to a trade dispute with the Old Republic.
Two Jedi, Qui-Gon Jin and Obi-Wan Kenobi, are dispatched to the Trade Federation battleship to mediate the dispute but are soon betrayed in a dynamic action sequence where they must fight their way through a legion of robot soldiers—giving long time Star Wars fans their first opportunity to view the Jedi fighting at their peak.
The space and palace battles are fairly status quo, but the ground battle between the Gungans and the droid soldiers breaks new ground in that the entire scene is computer generated, with a cast of thousands of soldiers exchanging gunfire.

I ended up finding a nice big photograph of the scene aboard the Trade Federation battleship where the battle droids are waiting outside the reception room to see if Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon have been killed by the poison gas attack.

The level we played through was set on a Trade Federation battleship from the beginning of The Phantom Menace, and it saw us assuming the roles of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon as they battle their way through the ship to stow away aboard a droid army ship headed for Naboo.
Some Lego objects aboard the Trade Federation battleship, for example, could be stacked on top of each other to construct platforms for reaching areas previously out of reach.
The Lego character models and their respective animations were also pretty easy on the eyes, and among those that we got to see in action were Darth Maul, Yoda, Jango Fett, and the Trade Federation's battle droids.
