Rugor Nass

"Yousa no thinken yousa greater than the Gungans? Mesa lika this. Maybe wesa being friends."

- Nass, to Padmé Amidala

Boss Nass was the leader of the Gungans during the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo. Nass governed the Gungans from the city of Otoh Gunga within Naboo's oceans, keeping a close eye on Gungan affairs and, for a time, assuring that the Gungans and the Human population of Naboo did not interact. He initially refused to help the Naboo during the invasion, rejecting Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi when they requested it, but ultimately had a change of heart. Nass agreed to ally with the Naboo after Jar Jar Binks brought Queen Padmé Amidala before the Gungan leadership, and the young queen pleaded her case. After the Battle of Naboo, in which the Naboo and the Gungans were victorious over the Federation, Nass joined Queen Amidala in peace.

Nass' tenure as Boss ended sometime before or during the Clone Wars. He later attended Amidala's funeral after her death at the end of the war.
