Destruction of Otoh Sancture

"Mesa people isa bein Destroyen"

- Gallo

A massacre took place in the Gungan city of Otoh Sancture on the planet Naboo during 3,000 BBY, at the peak of the war between the Gungan tribes, a series of conflicts between the disagreeing Gungan tribes. Before the massacre Otoh Sancture had been a peaceful city and it's leader, Boss Gallo, had taken a pacifist stance in the war and refused to fight other Gungans. However this badly worried Boss Rogoe, the warlord behind the war, who believed that if Gallo joined the war he would drastically change the tide of it. To ensure this wouldn't happen Rogoe ordered a colony of Bursas to destroy Otoh Sancture and kill Gallo, however he was not in the city at the time because he was out hunting for the city's Sacred Feast, so he was spared from the destruction. Gallo observed the attack from afar, mourning the loss of his city. After this Gallo raised a small army with the help of the rogue Gungan Marsune and retook the city, beginning his campaign to destroy Boss Rogoe and unite the Gungan Tribes.

Prelude
"All the Gungan tribes were always poundin' the other, but Gallo refused to join in the fighting."

- Rugor Nass

During 3,000 BBY, a large war took place on the planet Naboo, where the native Gungan tribes were ceaselessly fighting each other. Otoh Sancture was the only Gungan city that had refused to take part in the war, this stance being enforced by the city's leader; Boss Gallo, who believed that the Gungans should be killing each other. However, this action concerned Boss Rogoe, the warlord controlling the war without the other tribes knowing, because he believed that if Gallo took a side in the war, Gallo would destroy him. Not wanting this to happen, Rogoe ordered a colony of Bursas under his influence to attack Otoh Sancture. At the time the city was about to enter into it's Sacred Feast, a Gungan celebration of thanksgiving to the Guds. Tradition ruled that Gallo, as the Boss of Otoh Sancture, was to venture out into the forests to find some Nerfs to eat for the feast. This meant that Gallo was away from the city when the Bursas arrived and the massacre began.

The Massacre
"Oh no, Bursas!"

- One of Otoh Sancture's citizens

The bursas arrived at the city once Gallo had found suitable nerfs to eat for the feast. Gallo found himself trapped at the river crossing between the forests and his city, unable to do anything to save his people. The bursas began to destroy everything in Otoh Sancture, leaving no Gungans alive with them not even knowing why they were being attacked. Gallo eventually had to turn away and retreat into the forest as the bursas demolished the rest of the city.

Aftermath
"Hesa (Rogoe) sent thosa Bursas to pound yousa (Gallo) into the ground"

- A militiagung working for Boss Rogoe



The bursas that had attacked the city took residence on the ruins and even created several nests. Gallo wandered through the forests of Naboo until he found the camp of Captain Marsune, a renegade Gungan known as the "Prince of Rogues", who agreed to trade the nerfs Gallo had found for the interrupted feast for several worker Glurrgs. Gallo took these Glurrgs and continued through the forests intending to find an appropiate area to make a settlement. On the way he encountered a small scout party belonging to Rogoe sent to make sure Gallo was dead. One of these Militiagungs revealed that Boss Rogoe had ordered the massacre as an attempt to kill Gallo and that he was the person controlling the war. Gallo told the militiagung to tell Rogoe that he was going to overthrow him and stop him from killing other Gungans. Gallo raised a small army and fought the Bursas now living on the city's ruins. After that battle Gallo went on to unite the Gungan Tribes and defeat Rogoe. He would also build the city of Otoh Gunga in memory of those killed in the massacre.

Behind the scenes
The Massacre makes it's only appearance in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and it's expansion in the first level of the Gungan campaign. When the level starts the player can only control Boss Gallo and is on a different side of a river than Otoh Sancture, meaning the player can't actually send Gallo there. The massacre begins at whatever point the player finds the nerfs, and ends when the player reaches Marsunes camp. After that the player has to make a base and attack the bursas living on Otoh Sancture's ruins. When they finish this they player completes the mission.
