Bongo Scouts represented a unique adaptation of the Tribubble bongo, serving as lightweight submersible frigates employed by the Gungans. Their armament consisted of a single booma launcher. Distinctive features included a propeller and a pair of bubble-shaped cockpits positioned separately, accommodating the pilot and gunner. Their initial deployment occurred circa 3000 BBY during the War of the Gungan tribes. The construction cost was 90 carbon units and 20 nova crystals units. The Bongomeken Collective manufactured these frigates at their shipyards.
The 2001 video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, along with its 2002 expansion pack, featured Bongo Scouts. Within the game, they function as the Gungan's frigate units.
