Muskegs

OnALegendsArticle

"The Muskeg are Gungans. A sect of Gungans, to be more precise. They believe that Gungans are the predominant species on Naboo."
―Lieutenant Khartoor, to a spacer[1]

The Muskegs were a fanatical and violent religious group of Gungans, situated on Naboo. They were in conflict with the Naboo people as they believed that Gungans should be the only sentient species allowed to inhabit Naboo.[1]

History

"Oh, great. More people wanting to talk. Just like those Gungans that came by not long ago. The Muskeg, I think they called themselves. Came by asking about my son Hunnos just before he escaped."
―Ados Jarkey, to a spacer[3]

In 1 ABY,[4] they tried to recruit the wanted murderer Hunnos Jarkey to assassinate members of the Naboo human government but the latter refused. Lieutenant Khartoor of the Violent Crimes Division later tasked RSF agents to investigate Dubbin Sharr's group of Muskegs fanatics near Theed.[1]

Boss Rugor Nass later sent a spacer to recover a Gungan artifact that they had stolen from him. The spacer fought several Muskeg anarchists, extremists and reactionaries in the Lasay Swamp; and finally recovered the artifact from Flossin Noz, a Muskeg zealot chief.[2]

Behind the scenes

The Muskegs appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[5] The Muskegs were added to the game as part of the "Legacy Quest" with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[6]

  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.
