Battle of Naboo/Legends


 * "The Federation Army's also much larger than we thought, and much stronger. Your Highness, this is a battle I do not think we can win."
 * &mdash; Captain Panaka to Queen Amidala

The Battle of Grassy Plains (32 BBY) was the climactic battle that the Gungan Grand Army fought for Naboo against Trade Federation battle droids that had forcibly occupied Naboo during the Invasion of Naboo.

The Battle
The Queen implored the Galactic Senate to assist her against the Trade Federation's intrusion, but could not bear the suffering of her people whilst the Galactic Senate deliberated.

Returning to Naboo and, with the aid of Jar Jar Binks, the Queen managed to convince the Gungans to allign with them them, by showing humbleness before them. Once the remainder of the Naboo Royal Guard had been summoned, the queen and Captain Panaka devised a plan to retake Naboo.

The Gungan Grand Army lured out the main bulk of the Federation's army onto the plains. The Droid AAT's open fired on the Gungans but they took cover beneath an enormous shield.

The AAT's ceased firing, unable to penetrate the shield. The MTT's then unloaded thousands of Battle Droids who then advanced through the gungan shield. The Gungans fought with personal shields, catapults and Boomer grenades, but they could not withstand the droid onslaught and were forced to retreat.

During the retreat, the Droid Control Ship over the planet was destroyed, deactivating the droid army, ensuring a Gungan victory.
