From the Movies
An idyllic world close to the border of the Outer Rim Territories, Naboo
is inhabited by peaceful humans known as the Naboo, and an indigenous
species of intelligent amphibians called the Gungans. Naboo's surface
consists of swampy lakes, rolling plains and green hills. Its
population centers are beautiful -- Naboo's river cities are respendlent
with classical architecture and greenery, while the underwater Gungan
settlements are a beautiful display of exotic hydrostatic bubble
technology. Naboo is a geologically unique world. It lacks a
molten core, indicative of an ancient world. The planet is a
conglomerate of large rocky bodies permeated by countless caves and
tunnel networks. This causes numerous swampy lakes on the surface, which
lead deeper into the planet's structure. The native Gungans have
developed transports that exploit these cave networks, but even these
hardy explorers pause at venturing too deep into the planet core, for it
is infested with gargantuan sea beasts with ravenous appetites.When
the senate enacted a measure that would increase taxation along
outlying trade routes, the credit-hungry Trade Federation protested by
blockading Naboo. A screen of huge warships surrounded the planet,
cutting off supplies to the Naboo. The world's leaders, Queen Amidala
and Governor Sio Bibble, were taken captive by the Trade Federation's
droid armies. Jedi Knights sent by Supreme Chancellor Valorum
freed Queen Amidala, and she then journeyed to Coruscant, to request the
senate's intervention in the blockade. Even Naboo's representative,
Senator Palpatine, could not get past the bureaucratic stalling tactics
of the Trade Federation. Disheartened with the senate's inability
to act, Queen Amidala took actions into her own hands. She returned to
Naboo and recruited the help of the Gungans. Together, Naboo's two
cultures were able to repel the Trade Federation invasion, and bring
peace back to the serene world.
From the Expanded Universe
The third of five planets orbiting a yellow star in the Chommell sector,
Naboo was first settled by human colonists from the planet Grizmallt
thousands of years ago.When these colonists and the native Gungans
first met, there was a profound failure to understand one another, and
tensions between the two cultures continued for thousands of years.
Despite the suffering caused by the Trade Federation invasion, the end
result brought about new prosperity for the planet as the Gungans and
the Naboo put aside their differences.In the interests of
preserving ecological stability, alleviating overcrowding in Otoh Gunga,
and fostering peace and goodwill, the Naboo and the Gungans launched an
ambitious joint venture to colonize Ohma-D'un, one of Naboo's three
moons. The grand experiment worked, creating a stable ecology on the
moon. Unfortunately, the colony was attacked by the Separatists with a
chemical weapon early in the Clone Wars. Many Gungan colonists died
exposed to an experimental toxin engineered to wipe out the Republic's
clone army. Naboo was spared from the worst of the Clone Wars,
and with the rise of the Empire, the placid planetoid tried to remain an
example of a more peaceful time before the collapse of the Republic.
The young monarch, Queen Apailana, quietly rebelled at the changes
enacted by the Empire. When she went too far, and was believed to be
harboring Jedi fugitives, the elite 501st Legion were dispatched to
Naboo to eliminate her and bring the planet back in line.
Behind the Scenes
In the revised rough draft of The Phantom Menace (which at the
time was just known as "The Beginning"), Naboo was called Utapau. This
name dates back to the earliest Star Wars drafts, when it was the
early name for Tatooine.
