Yes, this is the one I started ages ago that Firefox destroyed. This time I am doing it on both Microsoft Word AND Internet Explorer.
Naboo, Emerald of the Chommell Sector. Located in the Mid Rim section of the galaxy in the Chommell Sector. It has 3 moons, rotates in 26 standard hours, and orbits the sun in 312 standard days.
The year is 3028 BBY, approximately after humans, known as the Nubians, began colonizing Naboo.
Naboo is made up of mostly swamps and large forests. The Gallo mountains are the biggest mountains on Naboo. The Great Plains and west from those are human territories- Gungans do not travel there without great reason.
Naboo does not have a molten core, but rather is made up of a series of tunnels and caverns that are filled with water- salt water. The Gungans use these caverns as roads, easily going from one side of the world to the other.
The Gungan weapons are all made of organic materials, some with inorganic mixed in. The main item in Gungan weapons are Boomas.
A booma is made up of blue plasma from the planet core contained in an organic shell that bursts upon impact. They come in many, varying sizes depending on the weapon they are being used in.
An Atlatl, a handheld staff of sorts that Gungan infantry and cavalry use to launch boomas at the enemy.
Cestas are longer, spear-like atlatls, capable of launching one booma at a time and stabbing at prey or enemies.
Boomas can also be launched from giant fambaa catapults. Kaadu 'machine guns' can also fire medium sized boomas in rapid succession.
Security guards are the only Gungans to wield electropoles, spears with an powerfully energized tip.
Fambaa, besides being catapult-wielding creatures, have been outfitted with shield generators that have a reasonable range, providing the Gungans within the blue shield with protection from projectiles.
As stated above, Kaadu are the main cavalry units. The best of the best Gungan cavalry soldiers may be able to catch a Zalaaca, a larger and more difficult mount to handle. Zalaacas, however, are more loyal and brave than even the best trained kaadu, making them worth the effort if capture and training is successful.
Transportation
Besides Aiwha, Kaadu, Zalaaca, and other domesticated animals, Gungans use other forms of transportation. Mainly, the Bongo, a submersible vehicle. Landspeeders are also used, but Swifts are usually preferred if speed is necessary- landspeeders tend to be more for troop transportation. Naturally, Gungans are well-designed for traveling underwater, but for long distances or going through the planet core, bongos are commonly used.

* You would use "my" if there was a verb after the "I am", such as "I am jumping" or "I am going". For "I am going", you wouldn't say "Mesa going". But you would say "My goen" because of this rule. (Also, the suffix -ing is replaced by -en. It's "goen", not "going".)

History
It has been four years since Boss Rogoe allied with the Bursas and destroyed Otoh Sancture, the biggest and best of the Gungan sanctuaries. All of the Gungan tribes are at war, unsure of anything at this point. The current language spoken is Gunganese, the Basic and Old Gungan offspring language. All tribes seem to agree that Rogoe is the enemy, but his treachery has instilled paranoia in the other Bosses, making them wary and violence prone. Boss Gallo is attempting to unite the Gungan tribes to fight against Rogoe and the bursas, which are engaging in guerrilla warfare against the dissenting tribes.
The tribes have always warred against each other, but Rogoe pushed the tentative peace to the edge, so constant fighting has been going for years. The main tribes involved (The largest and most dangerous tribes) are Otoh Langua (Under Boss Hantic), Otoh Raban (Under Boss Hoxie), Otoh Jahai (Under Boss Tenko), and Otoh Urs (Under Boss Copek) . All but a few from Otoh Sancture survived, forming a new city to the east- Otoh Gunga.
Boss Gallo, heartbroken but determined after the loss of his city, collected his few warriors left and wandered north, getting help from a rogue boss known as Marsune.
It is during this upset time in Gungan history that this story takes place.
The Gungan Grand Army
[/b][/u]Naboo, Emerald of the Chommell Sector. Located in the Mid Rim section of the galaxy in the Chommell Sector. It has 3 moons, rotates in 26 standard hours, and orbits the sun in 312 standard days.
The year is 3028 BBY, approximately after humans, known as the Nubians, began colonizing Naboo.
Geography
Naboo is made up of mostly swamps and large forests. The Gallo mountains are the biggest mountains on Naboo. The Great Plains and west from those are human territories- Gungans do not travel there without great reason.
Naboo does not have a molten core, but rather is made up of a series of tunnels and caverns that are filled with water- salt water. The Gungans use these caverns as roads, easily going from one side of the world to the other.
Naboo Lifeforms
- Predators
Bursas are amongst the biggest of threats that Gungans face. Just a few years ago, a tribe of bursas destroyed the main Gungan city- read the history for more information. Bursas build and live in mud huts and are known to be mercilessly vicious.
Tussk cats are less of a problem to Gungans because they prefer to live on the outskirts of the forests and on the plains, hunting grazing plains-animals. Only the Nubians have managed to domesticate these large and violent cats. The Tussk cat got its name from the tusks that grow out of its lower jaw.
Narglatches, felines like Tussk cats, live in the swamps, but rarely bother Gungans unless the Gungans encroach on their territory.
Veermoks were once very dangerous to Gungans, but as time passed, the Gungan encounters with Veermoks became fewer and far between, though most encounters today are still fatal.
The most dangerous of creatures to a Gungan, besides the bursas, are the aquatic creatures.
The Colo Claw Fish is a major menace to underwater Gungan cities. They can use a hydrosonic screech to stun enemies and prey. They are the second largest predator on Naboo. They can hit 40+ meters in length.
Sando Aqua Monsters are the largest predators on Naboo, the males easily reaching and extending past 200 meters. They are capable of being on the land and have been known to sun themselves on sandbars out in the ocean and catch land animals that creep too close to the water's edge.
Smaller than both the Colo Claw Fish and the Sando Aqua Monster, the Opee Sea Killer wanders the closest to Gungan cities and lurks about, ready to eat any unsuspecting Gungan. It is only 30 meters or so in length on average. - Prey, pets, and other useful animals
Aiwhas are also found on Kamino. They are used as air transports, and in some cases, fighters. At the current time period, Aiwhas have not been domesticated.
Doo, Faa, Laa, Mee, Ray, See, Tee- All simple fish found in the oceans, seas, and lakes. They vary in color, size, rarity (and thus delicacy).
Cerrabores are large mammals that are used as seige weapons by the Gungans. Capable of tearing through metal reinforcements through sheer brute force.
Fambaa are used in many different methods of battle Refer to the wepons and battle section for more information.
Kaadu are used as both a food source and a war mount.
Saw-Toothed Granks are a food source and highly relished for their tender and juicy meat.
Swifts are giant lizards used by scouts due to their high speed running ability.
Yobshrimp are another Gungan delicacy.
Nerfs are common creatures on many planets, and are usually kept in special shelters where they are bred and harvested.
Zalaaca are a very rare mount for Gungans. They are nearly impossible to capture, and even if a capture is successful of a foal, training may likewise prove impossible. Only the best of the best can manage to catch and properly train this gorgeous beast. - Gungans
Otolla Gungans are the most common in society, being the artisans, warriors, and common citizens. They have retractable eye stalks, gangly limbs, are rather tall, and have orange or purple tinted skin.
Ankura Gungans are almost strictly politicians. They have hooded eyes, broad heads, and green skin.
Both species of Gungan have long ears and clawed and webbed hands/feet.
Glurrgs are simply workers. They farm, construct buildings, weapons, etc, mine for precious ores, fish, and other things. Some Gungans (specifically Otolla Gungans) will do these things as well, but that's rare- they usually stick to being artisans, teachers, warriors, etc.
Military Forces
The Gungan weapons are all made of organic materials, some with inorganic mixed in. The main item in Gungan weapons are Boomas.
A booma is made up of blue plasma from the planet core contained in an organic shell that bursts upon impact. They come in many, varying sizes depending on the weapon they are being used in.
An Atlatl, a handheld staff of sorts that Gungan infantry and cavalry use to launch boomas at the enemy.
