Uprising on Naboo

"Weesa free!"

- Unknown Gungan

The Battle of Naboo in the Galactic Civil War took place shortly after news of Emperor Palpatine's death had reached the planet.

As it became known that Palpatine had died along with Darth Vader aboard the second Death Star, and that the Rebel Alliance had been victorious against their fleet, countless planets exploited the confusion and disarray amongst Imperial forces to liberate themselves from their oppressive rule.

One such world was Naboo, Palpatine's homeworld. Although being connected with him, the planet's rulers had never been quite willing to cooperate fully with their Imperial supervisors, and quiet resistance against the local garrison had been brewing for many years.

Despite previous diplomatic behavior, the Naboo and the Gungans banded together once more to oust the Imperial presence from their world, though whether they were successful beyond this victory is unknown.
