Characteristics

The original settlement on Rori, Narmle is nestled in the Narmle Swamp in the southwestern portion of Rori. The expansive Narmle Bog borders the city to the south and east. The city's founders selected this location because they believed the bog would protect the settlement from any dangerous native inhabitants, while the lands to the north and west promised an abundance of natural resources. Unfortunately, life in Narmle proved much more difficult than any of the Naboo colonists expected and the city never became the hub of agriculture that its original founders envisioned.

Narmle would have withered away if not for the onset of a devastating Brainworm Rot Plague nearly two hundred years before the Battle of Naboo. Narmle's inhabitants were commissioned to build a second settlement, Restuss, to quarantine infected colonists traveling to Naboo. The influx of credits and new labor helped Narmle expand into a small, thriving city. Medical ressearch conducted in Narmle eventually helped cure the plague, and the Republic officials rewarded the city for its efforts by funding the construction of a Center for Arts and Education. Although the city remains small when compared to Theed or Coronet, it is a far cry from its early days as a simple supply outpost for hard-working farmers.

Although technically under the control of Naboo's Queen Kylantha, Narmle is largely self-governed by a handful of elected officials. Like Rori itself, Narmle goes relatively unnoticed by most of the galaxy as the Galactic Civil War intensifies, Governro Ferrox, who is charged with ruling the entire population of Rori, has his home and offices in Narmle.

Narmle maintains a friendly rivalry with its sister city Restuss. As the only cities on Rori, Narmle and Restuss typically compete for funds, visitors, and settlers from Naboo. Narmle's inhabitants often exhibit a sense of superiority, stemming from the fact that Narmle natives actually built Restuss. The rivalry has become heated on occasion, although it has only rarely erupted into violence.

In general, the residents of Narmle are a very open and welcoming people, both kind to strangers and hospitable to all visitors. Tourists are often directed to the fabled "Talking Bantha," a large and hairy bantha that apparently speaks with great insight and wisdom. Although scholars insist that the Talking Bantha is a simple hoax the verbose creature continues to attract curiosity seekers from across the galaxy.

History

Narmle was an ancient King of Naboo whose reign took place around 2,000 BBY. Known as "the Explorer," King Narmle colonized Naboo's swampy moon of Rori. By 1 ABY, there was still a city on Rori named for him.

Narmle Memorial Rally

Legends say that this track retraces the route used by local smuggler, Trein Veltin as he tried to elude authorities intent on his arrest. Weaving through the streets desperately trying to lose his pursuers he made it out of the city. Unfortunately his escape was cut short due to a fatal collision with a flesh eating chuba. Since that time many have made the run in his memory. Eventually it became a semi-formal track for a thoroughly illegal street race.
