The Gungan Swamp Town was a Rorgungan town and military camp on Rori during the Galactic Civil War.
History[]
Rorgungans patrolling near the Gungan Swamp Town.
After Boss Rugor Nass brokered peace with Queen Amidala of Naboo in 32 BBY, a number of more extremist Gungans violently opposed to any alliance between humans and Gungans and fled to Rori, the moon of Naboo.[1] These Rorgungans established the swamp town deep within the swamps of Rori, as a place to live in isolation from the outside world. The Gungans who lived there were very hostile to outsiders.[2]
By the time of the Battle of Yavin, the Rorgungan commander Captain Hassk and Lieutenants Ori and Heb Nee were notable residents of the swamp town.[2] From there, Captain Hassk intended to recruit Gungans from Naboo to support the Rorian Gungans in their fight against the Galactic Empire.[3]
In 1 ABY,[4] a spacer fought several Rorgungans in the swamp town and stole an Urnsor'is SoulLeecher sword.[5]

- ↑ According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
