Description NABOO - Located in the Chommell sector, Naboo is a fairly idyllic world covered by dense swamps, rolling plains, and verdant hills. The planet has two sentient species: peaceful humans who call themselves the Naboo; and the more aggressive, warlike Gungans. The Naboo populate many striking cities, including Theed and Moenia, while the Gungans reside deep in the planet's foreboding swamps. Naboo's pleasant climate and numerous terrain types have also given rise to dozens of native animal species, from the towering, reptilian fambaa to the deadly tusk cat. Human colonists from the planet Grizmallt discovered Naboo nearly four thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. Within weeks of their arrival, the settlers encountered the Gungans. Although immediately distrustful of one another, neither species attacked the other, and the humans were allowed to establish their first settlements without incident. Over the next several decades, the settlers slowly spread across the planet's largest landmass, building cities and villages to support their growing numbers. The human colonists kept to the grassy plains and ocean coastlines, only occasionally treading into Gungan territory. Despite this, tension between the humans and the Gungans remained strong. The friction between the Gungans and the Naboo was based largely on cultural differences, but armed clashes were extremely rare. Eventually, the Naboo and the Gungans joined forces to repel a Trade Federation invasion. The conflict, now known as the Battle of Naboo, marked a new era of cooperation between the two cultures. Unfortunately, after the Emperor rose to power, he made a special effort to quickly bring Naboo under his control. When Imperial forces arrived on the planet, allegedly to "protect" Naboo's resources, the Gungan population migrated deeper into the swamps, yet again isolating themselves from the rest of Naboo. Although Naboo is home to numerous Imperials and even hosts one of the Emperor's strongholds, the Naboo themselves have managed to preserve much of their culture. They remain a largely democratic society ruled by an elected monarch. Naboo gain the right to vote after passing aptitude tests that determine intellectual maturity, and political leaders are often far younger than their peers on other worlds. The Naboo are still an extremely peaceful people, focusing all of their energies into art, science, and education. They maintain a small security force to protect their cities from rabble-rousers and criminals, but they have no standing army. Although it's been rumored that the current monarch, Queen Kylantha, is extremely loyal to the Emperor, she has yet to dissolve the Naboo Royal Advisory Council or impose any significant changes in the Naboo's democratic structure. According to some sources, Rebel cells also flourish in areas of Naboo, including Theed and the swamplands.

Star Wars Lore

From the OS Databank.

An idyllic world close to the border of the Outer Rim Territories, Naboo is inhabited by peaceful humans known as the Naboo, and an indigenous species of intelligent amphibians called the Gungans.

Naboo's surface consists of swampy lakes, rolling plains and green hills. Its population centers are beautiful -- Naboo's river cities are respendlent with classical architecture and greenery, while the underwater Gungan settlements are a beautiful display of exotic hydrostatic bubble technology.

Naboo is a geologically unique world. It lacks a molten core, indicative of an ancient world. The planet is a conglomerate of large rocky bodies permeated by countless caves and tunnel networks. This causes numerous swampy lakes on the surface, which lead deeper into the planet's structure. The native Gungans have developed transports that exploit these cave networks, but even these hardy explorers pause at venturing too deep into the planet core, for it is infested with gargantuan sea beasts with ravenous appetites.

When the senate enacted a measure that would increase taxation along outlying trade routes, the credit-hungry Trade Federation protested by blockading Naboo. A screen of huge warships surrounded the planet, cutting off supplies to the Naboo. The world's leaders, Queen Amidala and Governor Sio Bibble, were taken captive by the Trade Federation's droid armies.

Jedi Knights sent by Supreme Chancellor Valorum freed Queen Amidala, and she then journeyed to Coruscant, to request the senate's intervention in the blockade. Even Naboo's representative, Senator Palpatine, could not get past the bureaucratic stalling tactics of the Trade Federation.

Disheartened with the senate's inability to act, Queen Amidala took actions into her own hands. She returned to Naboo and recruited the help of the Gungans. Together, Naboo's two cultures were able to repel the Trade Federation invasion, and bring peace back to the serene world.

Expanded Universe

The third of five planets orbiting a yellow star in the Chommell sector, Naboo was first settled by human colonists from the planet Grizmallt thousands of years ago.

When these colonists and the native Gungans first met, there was a profound failure to understand one another, and tensions between the two cultures continued for thousands of years. Despite the suffering caused by the Trade Federation invasion, the end result brought about new prosperity for the planet as the Gungans and the Naboo put aside their differences.

In the interests of preserving ecological stability, alleviating overcrowding in Otoh Gunga, and fostering peace and goodwill, the Naboo and the Gungans launched an ambitious joint venture to colonize Ohma-D'un, one of Naboo's three moons. The grand experiment worked, creating a stable ecology on the moon. Unfortunately, the colony was attacked by the Separatists with a chemical weapon early in the Clone Wars. Many Gungan colonists died exposed to an experimental toxin engineered to wipe out the Republic's clone army.

[ Naboo ] Naboo was spared from the worst of the Clone Wars, and with the rise of the Empire, the placid planetoid tried to remain an example of a more peaceful time before the collapse of the Republic. The young monarch, Queen Apailana, quietly rebelled at the changes enacted by the Empire. When she went too far, and was believed to be harboring Jedi fugitives, the elite 501st Legion were dispatched to Naboo to eliminate her and bring the planet back in line.
