Description[]
A Tribubble bongo was a submersible transport craft utilized by the marine race known as the Gungans on the planet Naboo. They were manufactured by the Otoh Gunga Bongameken Cooperative and chiefly utilized in the Gungan's major city of Otoh Gunga.
History[]
In 32 BBY, Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi met the Gungan known as Jar Jar Binks on the planet Naboo. To escape the oncoming tide of B1 battle droids from the Trade Federation, Jar Jar offered them temporary sanctuary in his underwater home city, Otoh Gunga.
Upon reaching the city, they conferred with the Gungan leader, Boss Rugor Nass, and Qui-Gon inquired about reaching the planet's human settlements. To do this required journeying through the planet's core. Qui-Gon used a Jedi mind trick to convince Boss Nass to lend them a mode of transportation, which was a Tribubble bongo. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Jar Jar used the bongo to traverse the treacherous planetary core. Along the way, they encountered various undersea creatures including a Colo claw fish, an Opee sea killer, and an enormous Sando aqua monster.
