Broof Yurdel Broof Yurdel was a male Gungan soldier , security agent and resistance fighter who lived in the years before the Clone Wars . Biography . Broof Yurdel was a veteran of the Battle of Naboo ( 32 BBY ) . Though Yurdel had never met General Jar Jar Binks in person , he had heard of Binks ' s reputation and held respect for him , always saying his surname when talking about him . Yurdel moved to Cularin shortly after the Trade Federation ' s defeat . He worked for Gungan Security as the midnight shift supervisor and lived with his lifemate by the Estauril River in Gadrin . Yurdel was proud of his peoples ' warrior tradition , and when the Cularin resistance formed against the Metatheran Cartel , he disappeared with his entire shift of eleven other Gungans ( and probably Yurdel ' s lifemate ) to join them . They did it at a time they were not working for any clients , and did the logs before they left , but their departure was still a big hit on Gungan Security , which was suddenly undercrewed . Gerta Haman became the " de facto " leader of the resistance , but Yurdel and Nim ' Ri were her close advisors and co - leaders , with Yurdel being also an unofficial leader of his former employees . Yurdel and his Gungans seemed to be in charge of the resistance base ' s security . Yurdel , along with Nim ' Ri and Haman , greeted some unexpected visitors who had found their base looking for the missing people , including the Gungans . The resistance leaders tried to convince them not to reveal the secret hideout . One month later , Yurdel welcomed those people to their base . Haman had sent them in an information retrieval mission , and found them in a dua - wurm pit . Yurdel took them to Haman , who analyzed their data . Noticing that the last needed data would only be in the well - protected Cartel jungle base , Haman ordered Yurdel to prepare a military raid against it to gain the last evidence they needed to consolidate their case . However , the Cartel had tracked the independent agents , and the Cartel ' s forces attacked the resistance base , almost killing Haman . Yurdel , distraught , led his Gungans and other resistance members on the planned raid of the Cartel ' s base . Due to the deaths caused by the Cartel ' s attack , many members of the resistance ignored the original plan of using only stun settings . Yurdel was almost amongst those , but at the last minute , he switched his weapon back to stun to honor Gerta ' s wishes . Yurdel ordered his snipers to take care of the Caarite sentinels , and then his troops entered the jungle base through the main door . Yurdel saw a security symbol of the Cartel in the door to the barracks , and he decided to blow the door ' s controls to shut in the soldiers . Unfortunately , the one - hundred - and - twenty - five Caarite soldiers were in a different room , and Yurdel ' s shot had triggered the alarms . Both groups began a shoot - out in the base corridors , while the independent agents tried to reach the records room to obtain the final data . Yurdel kept his position because , while he had a escape route , the Caarites did not . Besides , only one in every five Caarites could shoot at the same time from their position . Eventually , Wir was defeated by the independent agents , and the Caarite soldiers , finding their position unsustainable , surrendered to Yurdel . All the survivors abandoned the jungle base and , at this point , the Metatheran Cartel used turbolasers to destroy the base and any further proofs against them . After Yurdel ' s forces defeated the Cartel at the base , with their allies gaining the vital piece of information they were seeking , the Cartel retired from Cularin , saying that Wir ' s independent rogue actions were to be investigated before their return . The leaders of the resistance were decorated by governor Barnab Chistor of Gadrin , and the members of the resistance returned to their lives . When the Thaereian military seemed to be exceeding its mandate in protecting the Cularin system , Yurdel was among the resistance members who joined the nascent Cularin Militia , to build up a native defense force for the Cularin system .
