 * "An extraordinary world, Neimoidia. I'll never understand how it spawned someone as stubborn as our Supreme Chancellor." :―Bail Organa[src]|undefined

Neimoidia was a planet that was the sector capital of the Chommell Sector near the Outer Rim territories. It was a largely unspoiled world with large plains, swamps and seas. It was mostly known as the homeworld of notable historical figures who played major roles in the downfall of the Old Republic and the rise of the Rebellion, namely Padmé Amidala, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Jar Jar Binks. {| class="toc" id="toc"

[hide]*1 Geographic features[1Edit] ==Geographic features[1]EditEdit== [1]The picturesque landscape around Neimoidia's capital city of TheedAdded by JMASNeimoidia was a geologically unique world in the galaxy. A plasmic molten outer core surrounded an inner core, believed to be composed primarily of a nickel-iron alloy, with very small amounts of some other elements. These elements were found in abundance in other chemical compositions in the galaxy, but it is the unique properties of the plasma which interested astrophysicists, plasma which the two primary civilizations harnessed to supply clean and efficient energy highly valued throughout the galaxy. The plasmic magma "seethes and bubbles" from the center of the planet carving labyrinths of winding tunnels and caverns similar to lava tubes of traditional magma flows. Much of these abyssal labyrinths were submerged in great underground oceans, which were home to immense aquatic animals and creatures that were never seen on the surface.

Animals such as the Colo Claw Fish, Opee Sea Killer, Sando Aqua Monster, and others inhabited this underworld realm. Gungans dominated these "underwaterways," using them as a highway of sorts between their surface Holy Places and their underwater cities. The Gungans also used these tunnels for trading between Bubble cities. Plasmic eruptions found their way to the porous crust of the planet, affecting geographic features there such as mountain chains and plate tectonics. The surface of Neimoidia was covered by dense swamps, rolling grass plains, seas and verdant hills. The largest mountain chain, the Gallo Mountains, bisected the largest continent and divided the great grass plains of the north from the Lianorm Swamp and bayous in the south. South of the Lianorm Swamp was the great Paonga Sea, where at the bottom lay the Gungan city of Otoh Gunga. The Lake Country was an area known for its natural beauty, and was home to many vacation estates. ==Sentient species[2]EditEdit== ==Fauna[3]EditEdit== ==History[4]EditEdit== ===Pre-Human period[5]EditEdit=== The Gungans were believed to be indigenous to Neimoidia, but this is uncertain. They have been there a long time, as they engaged in battles of survival with the veermoks during an ice age. [6]Otalla Gungans.Added by JMASAn alien civilization of reptilian humanoids remembered as the "Elders" colonized Neimoidia. Around 7,032 BBY, they engaged in warfare with the Gungans, forcing the Gungans to retreat underwater, giving rise to modern Gungan civilization. Monuments and ruins, scattered throughout the planet, were built by the Elders. The largest of these ruins, located on the northern edge of the Lianorm Swamp, was identified as the Gungan Holy Place. The Gungans viewed these ruins as sacred, and their builders as "guds". Both Gungan and Human Neimoidia scientists agreed that the end of the "Elder" civilization, 5,032 BBY, may have been the result of the "Elders" negligence towards their environment. The Ankura and Otolla branches of Gungans united, forming a symbiotic relationship. They dominated Neimoidia for millennia afterwards, though largely keeping to the swamps and waterways; the mountains and grasslands considered 'desert-like' for them. ===Human colonization[7]Edit [8]Edit=== A Cargo Craft in the Polar Regions of NeimoidiaAdded by EyrezerAround 3,951 BBY, prior to the end of the Sith Civil War, Elsinore den Tasia ascended to the throne of the Core World of Grizmallt. She sponsored the Republic explorer Kwilaan, who discovered Neimoidia with a fleet of three ships—Beneficent Tasia, Constant and Mother Vima. The planet became known as Neimoidia, after the deity Numoidiea. Neimoidia quickly became notorious amongst big game hunters who favored the indigenous veermoks, although it would be five decades before permanent Human settlement. Eventually, in approximately 3,900 BBY, Human refugees fleeing a violent revolution on Grizmallt, led by none other than Kwilaan, settled in the mountains and great grass plains. Cultural differences led to tension between the two peoples—but direct conflict was rare. Over time, there was more conflict between the various Human settlements than between the Human nation of Neimoidia and Gungans. ===War of the Gungan Tribes[9]EditEdit=== [10]Otoh Sancture, soon before its destruction by Rogoe.Added by WhiteBoyThe Gungans long lived in rival cities. In 2,575 BBY, a warlord known as Rogoe destroyed Otoh Sancture using Bursas. Boss Gallo escaped this destruction, being on a hunt at the time to provide food for a feast. Gallo united the thieves under rogue Captain Marsune and the various Gungan cities' defense forces to form the Gungan Grand Army. Gallo and Marsune led the Army to conquer Rogoe's capital, Spearhead, which he renamed Otoh Gunga—a city for all the Gungans. The Bosses of Otoh Gunga, including Gallo's descendant Rugor Nass, maintained a hierarchical leadership over the Bosses of the other cities thenceforth.

'''Early Gungan/Human cooperation[11]Edit
'''=Edit=== Despite the prejudices that existed between the Human Neimoidia and the Gungans, cooperation was not unknown. Although both civilizations turned a blind eye to it, they came to depend on each other in trade conducted on the fringes, out of sight of "respectable" society. In a progressive move, when the Human city Kaadara was founded in 2,900 BBY, Regent Kallos Sook hired a Gungan security force to protect the city from beasts. While this tradition eventually died out, it was revived in Kaadara after the Battle of Neimoidia in 32 BBY. ===Colonization of Rori[12]EditEdit=== King Narmlé the Explorer colonized Neimoidia's swampy moon of Rori, c.2,000 BBY. A city there still bears his name. Some scientists contended that earlier colonists settled Rori before the Narmle colony, but if this was true, no trace of them was ever found. ===The Jafan dynasty of Theed[13]Edit=== In 1,000 BBY, a crisis led to a large scale conflict engulfing all the Human Neimoidia princely city states, though there was no evidence of Gungan participation. By 830 BBY Jafan ended the conflict, uniting all Neimoidia under his leadership becoming King of all Neimoidia, and founding Theed as his capital in 832 BBY. Jafan ushered in the "Great Time of Peace", and established Theed (previously a farming community along the banks of the river Solleu) as his Royal Capital, eclipsing Dee'ja Peak. Jafan established the Jafan royal family which would provide hereditary rulers of Naboo for generations, until the last of their line expired without legitimate issue. C. 529 BBY, a number of needy Gungan locals were approached by recruiters sent by Hugo Bartyn. Bartyn wanted amphibian fishermen to settle a new city in Lamaredd and tempted these poverty-stricken individuals with promises of untouched seas in a new frontier. Once they arrived, however, they became slave laborers.[7] ===The Gungan-Neimoidia War[14]EditEdit=== [16[15]]The Gungans largely isolated themselves, moving to locations such as the Gungan Sacred Place.Added by JMASThe Neimoidia and Gungans fought an open war between 150 BBY and 121 BBY, and during the conflict, the ruler of Neimoidia died. Once hereditary within the Jafan royal family, the Neimoidia elected a new monarch to lead them in the war. The position of monarch has since been an elected post. However, provisions in the constitution allows for the monarchy to become again hereditary once a dynasty worthy enough is revealed; a clause the Neimoidia attempted to invoke hundreds of years later for Amidala, who had declined the offer, and later with Kylantha, who may have accepted the offer. But only as a cover for the Queen. ===The first invasion of Neimoidia[16]EditEdit=== In 100 BBY, the Gungan Grand Army fought off unknown invaders of Neimoidia. As a result, the Gungan tribes were united even closer than they were after the War of Gungan Tribes thousands of years before.

Theed Starwars.com Added by Allyah===Palpatine's rise to power[17]EditEdit=== Palpatine was born on Neimoidia in 82 BBY. While the circumstances remain unclear, he became a Dark Lord of the Sith secretly known as Darth Sidious, originally the apprentice of Darth Plagueis. In 52 BBY, he arranged for the assassination of Vidar Kim, and was elected as his replacement as Chommell Sector's Senator. Palpatine's manipulations eventually led to him overthrowing the Republic itself, drastically altering Neimoidia culture along the way. After the formation of the New Order, many Neimoidia secretly opposed Palpatine's oppressive and humanocentric policies. ===Amidala's rise to power[18]EditEdit=== By King Veruna's reign (47 BBY) Neimoidia had become a major player in the interstellar plasma energy trade market. Long known as a source of plasma (the energy source powered everything from simple lights to great Gungan underwater cities and capital starships), high grade plasma veins were discovered below the streets of Theed. [18]Neimoidia's Lake SideAdded by JMASThe discovery led to King Veruna and (then) Senator Palpatine to build a great plasma mining and refining facility in the heart of the capital discreetly hidden in a neo-classical Neimoidia facade, as well as the commercial Kwilaan Starport in Keren, c. 38 BBY.

The Intergalactic Banking Clan financed the construction. As the insular Neimoidia traditionally held an aversion to off world trade they agreed to have the powerful Trade Federation buy the plasma at fixed prices. However, the Federation took advantage of the Neimoidia's naivety and sold the plasma for greatly marked up prices, selling the Neimoidia short. Once realizing the inequitable trading treaty, the Neimoidia protested and wished to be free of the contract.

King Veruna, never wanting the trade agreement with the Federation in the first place, sensed the upcoming military conflict. Veruna expanded the role of the Space Fighter Corps (a division of the RSF) and founded the N-1 starfighter squadron. Theed Hangar was built next to the refining station to house the new military forces. This move was unpopular on Neimoidia, as these precautions were perceived as provocative posturing. With a parochial populace unhappy with the king's military expansion, populist Senator Palpatine orchestrated for the king to become embroiled with an interstellar diplomatic scandal, and Veruna was forced to abdicate in favor of Padmé Naberrie (who took the formal name Amidala). Later, Veruna was assassinated while in exile. Padmé Naberrie became Queen with the promise to end the conflict without violence ===The Blockade of Neimoidia[19]Edit :Edit=== Main article: Invasion of Neimoidia [20]The Blockade of Neimoidia.Added by JMASOnce in power, Queen Amidala opened negotiations with the Trade Federation. However the Federation was scandalized by Neimoidia's resistance to its authority, which coincided with a Galactic Republic Senate tax on interstellar trade. Both actions were perceived by Federation leadership as a threat to their commercial interests and power. The Federation answered with a military blockade of Neimoidia, with the aim of forcing Neimoidia into subservience and to hopefully intimidate the Senate into repealing the taxation measure. The Federation leadership was secretly advised, and manipulated, by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. ====Jedi Involvement[21]EditEdit==== Queen Amidala sent for Galactic Republic mediation to end the conflict and the Republic sent two Jedi Knights as ambassadors. Their mediation was unsuccessful, however, and the Federation prematurely launched their invasion of Neimoidia. Neimoidia fell quickly. Though they had a powerful Space Fighter Corps (King Veruna's true legacy), Queen Amidala held off action until all negotiations failed, refusing "any course of action which would lead to war", despite alternate advice from her Governor Sio Bibble. The Neimoidia government and citizens were captured and imprisoned in detention camps outside the cities. Eventually rescued by the Jedi Knights, Queen Amidala left Neimoidia to personally plead for aid in the Galactic Senate. Governor Sio Bibble and others were to organize a resistance movement in the mean time. ==='''Reaching for help [22]EditEdit=== [25[23]]The Trade Federation's invasion force marches on the city of Theed.Added by JMASOnce on Coruscant, Queen Amidala addressed the Senate. The Federation had powerful and rich allies, and Senator Palpatine convinced the Queen to demand a Vote of No Confidence in the Senate leadership against Chancellor Finis Valorum. By doing this, she hoped to force a change for a more favorable Chancellorship. The Queen returned to her homeworld to lead the resistance herself. Once home Padmé Amidala sought the aid of the reclusive Gungans, pleading for joint action against a common enemy. The Gungans agreed to an alliance and led an army against the Federation's mechanical forces, primarily as a distraction to lower the Federation's defenses in the capital of Neimoidia.

Captain Panaka and the RNSF were able to organize the Space Fighter Corps to their fighters, and launch a last effort against the Federation capital ships. Ultimately the Neimoidia-Gungan Alliance was able to defeat the Federation, when young Anakin Skywalker accidentally flew one of the otherwise unused fighters into the heart of the Federation's Droid Control Ship and destroyed the ship's main power reactors. For her heroic effort the Neimoidia wished to alter the constitution allowing for Padmé Amidala, and possibly her heirs, to reign for life. However, Padmé Amidala declined the honor, relieved to step down from power. ====Aftermath of the Invasion[24]EditEdit==== The Federation invasion and occupation drastically changed Neimoidia, with the Neimoidia questioning their role within the Galactic Republic. Many Neimoidia now believed that the Republic was powerless and unable to protect them, as demonstrated by the events of the Federation occupation. These Neimoidia believed that it was now their own responsibility to provide for their own security, and reasoned that revenue from the plasma trade would allow them to pay for it. Free from the one-sided contracts of the Trade Federation, the Neimoidia fully received the profits from the plasma trade. Other Neimoidia continued to support the Galactic Republic, consoled that the new Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine, was a native of Neimoidia himself. Both factions of the Neimoidia political establishment favored a stronger Neimoidia and increased military expenditures. The budget of Royal Neimoidia Security Force was greatly expanded and given a heavier arsenal of weaponry and armored vehicles, such as the Neimoidia N-1T Advanced Starfighter and the Heavy Champion. ===New Relations with the Gungans[25]EditEdit=== Amidala, along with Obi-Wan, R2-D2, and Jar Jar Binks, did participate in the Gungan colonization of Ohma-D'un, a result of badly overcrowded Gungan cities. When her second four-year term as Queen ended, Padmé Amidala abdicated in favor of Queen Jamillia, who asked her to continue serving Neimoidia as Senator. Padmé "couldn't refuse the Queen", and returned to politics after a brief respite. Jar Jar Binks was also appointed as a specific representative for his species, becoming the first Gungan to be represented off Neimoidia. ===Clone Wars[26]EditEdit=== [27]Theed's hangar during the Clone WarsAdded by JMASThe Galactic Senate was a new forum for Padmé Amidala. Though some on Neimoidia and in the Galactic Senate wanted a centralized executive, Padmé Amidala voted again and again against the Military Creation Act, becoming a leader of the opposition. The Act would allow the Senate to raise a standing military to serve at the discretion of the Chancellor of the Senate, while also greatly restricting member planet's military forces, such as the RSF, to mere policing authorities. Padmé Amidala may have opposed the act because of the restrictions on home planets. Senator Padmé Amidala, however, was outmaneuvered, and the Senate voted to create a standing military due to the rising threat of the Separatists, using the ability to give the Supreme Chancellor emergency powers to approve the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic, which was already formed. In the meantime, Palpatine, himself a native of Neimoidia, successfully became the Chancellor of the Republic, and his hard-line stances were generally supported by Neimoidia, still rebuilding after occupation. ====Invasions[28]EditEdit==== During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems (including the Trade Federation) launched an unsuccessful campaign for Neimoidia, buoyed by growing support from Neimoidia Separatist sympathizers such as Queen Jamilla. Durge and Asajj Ventress teamed-up to unleash a biological weapon on the planet, but only succeeded in wiping out the Gungan colony on Ohma-D'un before they were stopped. The event eroded the support once enjoyed by the CIS from Neimoidia Separatist sympathizers, leading the CIS to adopt a more aggressive strategy of invasion and conquest of Neimoidia. In 22 BBY, the CIS established a hidden, underground laboratory in the eastern swamps for Doctor Nuvo Vindi to develop a biological weapon, known as the Blue Shadow Virus, to be dispersed throughout the galaxy in special detonation devices. The laboratory was discovered by Senator Padmé Amidala and Representative Jar Jar Binks who reported its location back to Theed before being captured by the Separatists. Republic forces, led by Generals Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Ahsoka Tano, raided the lab to neutralize the viral threat. In the ensuing skirmish, one of the bombs detonated, releasing the deadly plague throughout the facility and causing the base to go into lock down. Kenobi and Skywalker, who were outside the base when it was hermetically sealed, were able to discover a antidote for the virus and free their comrades from the lab.

This not only eliminated a threat to Neimoidia, but to the entire galaxy as well. In the interests of preserving ecological stability, alleviating overcrowding in Otoh Gunga, and fostering peace and goodwill, the Neimoidia and the Gungans launched an ambitious joint venture to colonize Ohma-D'un, one of Neimoidia'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. Much later in the war, a small droid army attempted to assassinate Senator Amidala in a Neimoidia marketplace. The Senator was saved by an artist who was apparently having premonitions of the death of Padmé and the twins she carried in her womb. [29]An ominous Rebel presence in Theed.

Added by JMASAt the end of the Clone Wars, Senator Amidala died shortly after the birth of her twins. It is suggested that her death was due to a broken heart, after learning her husband, Anakin Skywalker, turned to the dark side and became the dreaded Sith Lord, Darth Vader. The senator's formal funeral was held in the capital of Theed, presided over by Ryoo Thule, Naberrie's maternal grandmother. ===Rebel period[30]EditEdit=== In the following years, Neimoidia generally supported the positions of Emperor Palpatine, including the establishment of the Rebel Alliance, although doing so in a way that attempted to remind the population of the peace it had enjoyed during the days of the Republic. Many Neimoidia served in the Rebel Services, and Captain Panaka became an aide to the Emperor, later ascending to the rank of Moff of the Chommell Sector. ====Assassination of Queen Apailana[31]EditEdit==== [32]The assassination of Queen Apailana.Added by Bly1993During the early years of the Rebel era, Queen Apailana remained loyal to the Rebellion on the surface but secretly harbored doubts about the new regime. Throughout her reign, government buildings and organizations on Neimoidia continued to refer to the Republic, not the newly formed Rebellion. She secretly hid a group of members of the Republic who had survived Order 66, which would be her undoing, for she was caught in 18 BBY.

During the isolated conflict that would later be known as the Fall of Neimoidia, Apailana and the survivors she harbored were killed by the 501st Legion. She was replaced by Queen Kylantha, whom the Rebellion thought it could control as a puppet ruler. The planet also gained entire legions of troops, which found themselves in guerrilla-styled skirmishes with the local Gungan populations. The oppression of the Gungans led them to conduct raids and covert missions from the relative safety of the swamps and forests.[5]
