Naboo

Naboo from orbit

**Naboo**, also known as **Gunga** **Major** was a planet located within the Outer Rim Territories.

## History

Gunga Major was populated by a race known as Gungans since prehistory, this race would live underwater but would make several expeditions to land, building small monuments and cities, the ruins of which would continue to stand for thousands of years.

The Naboo Colony was founded by the Naboo family in 9,462BBY. It was established so that the Naboo family and their original two thousand colonists could live freely away from the Galactic Republic. and it's perceived overreach into civilian affairs.

The Naboo family would set up their colonies, founding a capital in the city of Theed.

## Inhabitants

Naboo was inhabited mainly by the indigenous Gungan's who made up the far majority of the population but largely stayed underwater. The human colonists made up the second largest group followed by races such as Neimodians who were settled as part of an effort by the Trade Federation before the Battle of Naboo. Other races such as Twi'leks, Ithorians, Zabraki, and Togruta's made up small populations, usually in refugee towns that were scattered across the planet. Many other races also existed but were in extremely low numbers.

## Government and Politics

Naboo was governed by an elected constitutional monarchy that saw the Queen have the majority of the power and the parliament which was headed by the prime minister a small amount of power.

During the Imperial era the monarch was deposed in favour of a governor.

### History

Naboo was originally populated by multiple tribes of Gungans who would place their leadership in the hands of a council of elders of each of the different tribes. The elders themselves would appoint a “boss" who would renounce their own tribe.

In the time of early expansion of The Galactic Republic the name Naboo would be given to a colony on the planet run by the “Naboo family.” The original two thousand colonists entered without Republic consent and due to their location in the outer rim would be largely left alone outside of a few scuffles with the Hutt Clan.

The Naboo family’s paternalistic head would become king of Naboo and the line was kept blood related until several revolutions of enslaved Gungans and pro-republic humans would launch a coup d’état. In the aftermath of the revolution Naboo would join the Republic and their monarch would become an elected role that only young women could run for due to views at the time that they would be weak monarchs and wouldn’t be able to become as authoritarian. This system remained in place until the instalment of an appointed Imperial governor who would rule until the previous system would be reinstated by the New Republic.

* Naré Traves (Prime Minister, 32-25BBY) (Senator, 16-12BBY)

## Economics

Naboo’s main exports were plasma, wheat, and wines these mad up the bulk of the planets largely export economy and was largely self-sustainable, the only imports that were frequented were specific minerals that could only be obtained by causing damage to the planet. As Naboo had a large tourism industry they did not want to risk defiling the appearance, that along with later treaties made bwtween the Human Naboo and The Gungans were reason enough to not commit to large scale mining projects. Naboo did have one precious mineral known as Greenstone, a green ruby like gemstone that was used by the monarchs in their clothing. The gemstone was a major seller on the black market and a notable sign of wealth for those across the Galaxy.

## Culture

Naboo was largely split into two major societies, a surface level Human one and an underwater Gungan one. Though there were some minorities such as Nemoidians who had come to the planet before the Trade Federation’s invasion in 32BBY as part of a Trade Federation initiative.

The humans had a maternalistic and communitarian culture that was split between more conservative culturalists and progressive reformists. Naboo was a staple of quality life, education, health, politics, government, natural conservation, and economy.

What was common between the humans was a belief in the preservation in Naboo’s stunning natural environment. Both humans and gungans alike had this idea as a tradition in their cultures and localized religions.

Naboo had several local planetary holidays. The most notable of which was Freedom Day which was celebrated by both Gungans and Humans after the Battle of Naboo in 32BBY.

Humans on Naboo recognized Red as their planetary colour.

Gungans had a very traditional culture, believing their ancestors and elders word as being devout and from the gods. Water and the environment played a key role in Gungan society. Gugans were very closed off for a large part of their existence after their emancipation in the Great Naboo War. This would change after the first Freedom Day. Gungans believed in six gods. One of the oceans, one of the land, one of the air, one of fire, one of war, and one of both hell and the afterlife. Gungans believed those with completed spirits would ascend while those without would reincarnate.
