Dive beneath the lakes of Naboo to explore the culture of the Gungans — their amphibious biology, ancient warrior traditions, organic technology, and the rich mythology of their gods known as the guds. From the founding of Otoh Gunga and the War of the Gungan Tribes to the Battle of Naboo, the Clone Wars, and the sacrifice of General Tarpals, we cover the full history of one of the galaxy's most misunderstood species. Far more than Jar Jar Binks, the Gungans are a proud civilization whose Grand Army helped shape the fate of the Expanded Universe.

In its waning years, the Galactic Republic endured less like a golden age than a prolonged twilight, its ancient institutions still standing but riddled with unseen fractures. Corruption seeped into the Senate beneath layers of procedure and decorum, while corporate interests and regional power blocs bent law into currency.
