Rori Rori was one of the three moons of the planet Naboo . Located in the Chommell sector of the Mid Rim , Rori was a swampy world , with trees more twisted and knotted than those of Naboo . History . Early history . Its first colony , Narmle , was settled by King Narmlé around 2000 BBY . A second colony , Restuss , was founded as a quarantined processing center and spaceport following an outbreak of brainworm rot on Naboo in 200 BBY . The Republic attempted to enforce the quarantine even after the plague ended , but the natives rioted , forcing the quarantine ' s end . As a result of the riot , the city ' s hospital and detainment center were razed , and a new starport had to be built . The history of Rori was challenged by Naboo scholars . Some of them claimed that a small number of Naboo ' s original Human colonists landed on Rori before traveling down to the more temperate Naboo below . If this theory was correct , then the early settlers left no obvious signs of their stay . Others believed that Rori remained unsettled until a small group of spice miners decided to travel to the moon to search for the fabled spice lodes . Some miners did inhabit the moon , but they lived a primitive lifestyle , and had no records of their first landing on the moon . Later history . Rori was inhabited by Human kassoti spice miners , as well as Zabrak and Twi ' leks , represented by the Naboo Moon Mining Union . In 32 BBY , it was also settled by a number of Gungans , who disagreed with Boss Rugor Nass ' support of the Naboo . Its wildlife included both native and imported species , some originally from Naboo . Ferrox , the Imperial Governor of Rori , sat on the Naboo Royal Advisory Council of Queen Kylantha . The rulers of Naboo viewed Rori as an extension of their domain . Because of this , Rori received regular supplies from Naboo , and transportation between Rori and Naboo occurred often . The Empire also viewed Rori as nothing more than a small Nabooian outpost . Rori ' s citizens were far more independent than the Naboo , and it was believed that Rori housed some Rebel cells . Seeds of Rebellion . Sometime after the Battle of Yavin , the Rebel Alliance had established an outpost on Rori called Zephyr Base . The Rebels liaised with the Gungans , particularly Booto Lubble , in planning operations against Imperial activity on Naboo . Besides Lubble , other Rebels operating from the base included Raxa Binn , Vordin Sildor , and Mon Calamari General Ufwol , commanding officer for the Crimson Phoenix Squadron . The Battle of Restuss . During the Galactic Civil War , the Galactic Empire began research on a new piece of technology called a Star Core , small enough to fit in someone ' s hand , but powerful enough to power a Star Destroyer . The Rebellion quickly heard of this and began taking precautionary measures , such as building a small base outside the west entrance of the city . The Empire , seeing this threat , also began building a base east of the city and evacuated the local population to a small starport . Eventually , tensions peaked , and a battle erupted in the city . As the battle continued , the Star Core became unstable , and destroyed everything within a 200 - meter radius around the city , tearing about the starport , and destroying or damaging every building in the city . Although one faction did achieve greater success in the battle , it was effectively a stalemate . Following the battle , ongoing skirmishes between the Empire and Rebellion continued in the city until at least 3 ABY .
