Elders (Naboo)/Legends

The Elders were an ancient space faring civilization of reptilian humanoids who colonized Naboo.

Around 7,032 BBY, they engaged in warfare with the native Gungans, forcing the Gungans to retreat underwater, giving rise to modern Gungan civilization.

Monuments and ruins, scattered throughout the planet, were built by the Elders. The largest of these ruins, located on the northern edge of the Lianorm Swamp, was identified as the Gungan Holy Place. The Gungans view these ruins as sacred, and the Elders are remembered as "guds".

Both Gungan and Human Naboo scientists agree that the end of the "Elder" civilization, 5,032 BBY, may have been the result of the "Elders" negligence towards their environment.
