Naboo

Naboo is a planet in the Mid Rim of the Star Wars galaxy. It is the homeworld of the humanoid Naboo and the amphibious Gungan species. The planet features diverse geography, including plains, forests, lakes, and coastal regions, with urban centers such as the capital city Theed. Theed houses the royal palace and is a cultural and administrative hub; Otoh Gunga is the Gungans' underwater capital.

Naboo operates as a constitutional monarchy. The Royal House holds a ceremonial head of state role, while an elected planetary government administers day-to-day affairs, and representatives participate in the Galactic Senate. The Naboo people are renowned for art, architecture, and diplomacy, and the economy emphasizes agriculture, trade, and craftsmanship. The primary languages are Naboo and Gunganese; Galactic Basic is widely spoken.

In its history, Naboo enjoyed long periods of relative stability until the Trade Federation blockade and invasion in 32 BBY, which prompted a joint effort of Naboo and Gungans to resist and eventually defeat the invaders with Jedi support. Subsequently, Naboo remained a member of the Galactic Republic, and later endured governance changes during the rise of the Galactic Empire. The planet is also notable for its starships and ceremonial regalia; its capital’s architecture and the Naboo royal fleet are often cited among the planet’s cultural symbols.
