The Gungan Swamp Town functioned as both a military installation and settlement for the Rorgungan people located on Rori during the era of the Galactic Civil War.
Following the peace agreement negotiated by Boss Rugor Nass with Queen Amidala of Naboo in 32 BBY, a faction of more radical Gungans, who vehemently opposed any alliance between Gungans and humans, chose to leave and establish a community on Rori, Naboo's moon. These Rorgungans founded their swamp town in the depths of Rori's swamps, seeking a life apart from the rest of the galaxy. The Gungans residing there displayed considerable animosity towards outsiders.
By the time the Battle of Yavin occurred, key figures within the swamp town included the Rorgungan commander Captain Hassk along with Lieutenants Ori and Heb Nee. Captain Hassk planned to utilize this location as a base to recruit Gungans from Naboo to bolster the Rorian Gungans in their struggle against the Galactic Empire.
In 1 ABY, a spacer engaged in combat with several Rorgungans within the swamp town and absconded with an Urnsor'is SoulLeecher sword.
