Battle of Otoh Sancture The Battle of Otoh Sancture was a battle fought on Naboo between the Militiagungs under the command of Boss Gallo and bursa s under the influence of Boss Rogoe . For some time , the War of the Gungan tribes had been raging , but Gallo had refused to take sides . Not willing to wait and see just who his fellow Boss would side with , Rogoe decided to have Gallo killed , and to accomplish that goal , he ordered the destruction of Otoh Sancture , Gallo ' s home city . Gallo was able to escape , and incensed , he established a new Otoh Sancture and raised an army . Marching with his forces , he slaughtered the bursas that had destroyed his city and destroyed their nests . In the aftermath of the battle , Gallo united with the rogue Captain Marsune , and together the pair united the other Gungan tribes against Rogoe , who was eventually killed at the Raid on Spearhead . Prelude . During the planet Naboo ' s War of the Gungan tribes , Boss Gallo of Otoh Sancture was the only Boss to remain neutral , as he refused to take up arms against his fellow Gungans . Gallo ' s power was considerable , however , and the other Bosses became concerned about just who the neutral party would ally themselves with . Boss Rogoe of Spearhead , believed dead by the rest of the Gungan community , decided that it would be prudent to eliminate Gallo before he had the chance to align himself , and so he ordered the death of his fellow Boss . On the day of Otoh Sancture ' s Sacred Feast , Rogoe had his men dispatch wild bursa s to attack the defenseless city . As per tradition , Gallo had ventured forth from the settlement to gather food for the Sacred Feast , and as a result , he was not present when the bursa s attacked . The creatures left no building standing nor any civilian alive in their wake , turning Otoh Sancture into a desolate wasteland . Gallo ' s flight . In horror , Gallo , mounted on his kaadu , fled the scene with the five nerfs he had gathered in tow . As he ventured through the swamps , he realized that he would need to revive his city somehow . On his journey , he was stopped by the rogue Captain Marsune , and his band of militiagungs . Gallo requested aid , but the captain refused , although he did give the Boss four glurrg s in exchange for the nerfs . Continuing through the swamp with his new acquisitions , Gallo spotted several militiagungs from Spearhead shepherding wild bursas . Conversing with the militiagungs , he discovered that it was Rogoe , alive and well , who had ordered the attack on Otoh Sancture . Outraged , Gallo resolved to wreak revenge on Rogoe for the massacre and told the Spearhead militiagungs of his intent before continuing on with his glurrgs . Coming to a resource - rich clearing near some old ruins , Gallo decided that he would rebuild Otoh Sancture in memory of his dead people . As he did so , he raised an army of his militiagungs and prepared a counterattack against the bursa herd . The battle . Astride his kaadu , staff in hand , Boss Gallo marched with his newly raised army through the swamps toward the former location of Otoh Sancture . Crossing a river , they encountered several bursas , which they fought and killed . The path to the ruins of Otoh Sancture was blocked by several of the bursas ' nests , and so Gallo and his militiagungs set about razing the makeshift structures . Once they got through , they were met with heavy resistance from the bursas . Eventually , they were able to slaughter all of the animals before demolishing the remainder of the herd ' s nests . Aftermath . As soon as the final bursa nest was destroyed , Captain Marsune arrived at the site and pledged his allegiance to Gallo . Spurred on by the victory against the bursas , Gallo and Marsune were able to unite the various other Bosses , namely Copek , Tenko , Hantic , and Hoxie , against Rogoe , during the Battle of the Forest Cities . As a result , the War of the Gungan tribes entered its final phase , as the united Bosses routed Rogoe ' s militiagungs at the decisive Raid on Spearhead , which also resulted in Rogoe ' s death and the founding of Otoh Gunga on the ruins of Spearhead . Some three thousand years later , the Battle of Otoh Sancture and the events surrounding it were chronicled by Boss Rugor Nass , a distant descendant of Gallo ' s . Behind the scenes . The Battle of Otoh Sancture made its first and only appearance in the computer game " " , which was published in 2001 . It was , however , indirectly conceived by George Lucas , who , when outlining the origins of the Gungan people , stated that they had raised and maintained an army due to a past conflict with " bear - like creatures . " For the canceled " The Essential Guide to Episode I " , author Daniel Wallace had intended to identify the creatures as " bursas , " but as the book was not published , the information was not canon . It was later picked up by the creators of " Galactic Battlegrounds " , who featured it in the game ' s Gungan campaign .
