High Tower Boardroom



"I'm afraid I've been banished. Duh bosses will do terrible things to me, teeerible things if me goin' back dere!"

- Jar Jar Binks

The High Tower Boardroom, also known as the Rep Council Board Room, or the Gungan Council Chamber of Judgement, was a prestigious bubble-chamber in Otoh Gunga, from which the Gungan High Council ruled the city. It was referred to as the "Grandee-Oola" in Old Gungan.

When Rugor Nass became Boss of Otoh Gunga, one of his first acts was to order the construction of the High Tower Boardroom and its adjoining suite of offices&mdash;many of which were not even assigned a purpose. The Boardroom was accessed via fourteen increasingly grandiose foyer bubbles, which eventually led to the Supplication Platform, around which sat the High Council of Reps. The entrance was guarded by two Gungan patrol guards, and a plasma detonator was trained on supplicants at all times. The bubble also featured listening plates, giving advance warning of approaching sea creatures.

During the Invasion of Naboo, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were escorted to the High Tower Boardroom to explain their presence in Otoh Gunga. Nass refused to aid the Jedi in their plight to rescue Queen Amidala from the Trade Federation, though Jinn used a Jedi mind trick to secure a transport to Theed. He also engineered the release of Jar Jar Binks, who was being held under arrest in the Boardroom, awaiting a severe punishment.
