History

Rorgungans patrolling near the Gungan Swamp Town.

After Boss Rugor Nass brokered peace with Queen Amidala of Naboo in 32 BBY, a number of more extremist Gungans violently opposed to any alliance between humans and Gungans and fled to Rori, the moon of Naboo.[1] These Rorgungans established the swamp town deep within the swamps of Rori, as a place to live in isolation from the outside world. The Gungans who lived there were very hostile to outsiders.[2]

By the time of the Battle of Yavin, the Rorgungan commander Captain Hassk and Lieutenants Ori and Heb Nee were notable residents of the swamp town.[2] From there, Captain Hassk intended to recruit Gungans from Naboo to support the Rorian Gungans in their fight against the Galactic Empire.[3]

In 1 ABY,[4] a spacer fought several Rorgungans in the swamp town and stole an Urnsor'is SoulLeecher sword.[5]

  4. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
