A green-skinned Ankura Gungan was a general in the Gungan Grand Army on the planet Naboo.[2] In 32 BBY,[1] the general commanded part of the army near the city Rellias alongside Boss Ganne. During the Invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation, the Trade Federation Droid Army under the command of the B1-series battle droid OOM-9 and the Sith apprentice Darth Maul targeted Rellias, intending to capture Ganne and have him lead them to the Gungan capital Otoh Gunga.[2]
The Droid Army arrived on a shore near Rellias and was met with a cavalry charge led by Ganne and the general, who were riding kaadu. Maul used his lightsaber to slaughter many Gungans in his path to reach Ganne. When he was five meters from Ganne and the general, Maul launched himself into the air towards them, decapitating the general and knocking Ganne off his kaadu.[2]
