The Kunga were a tribal group of Dantari origin, hailing from the planet Dantooine. A significant portion of the Kunga population resided within their established village, and the tribe further secured their presence by constructing a fortified stronghold within a cave system. The Kunga found themselves engaged in hostilities with both the Janta and the Mokk, who were also Dantari tribes.
During the era of the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire viewed the Kunga as a potential danger to their deployed military forces.
The Kunga made their debut appearance in the 2003 video game titled Star Wars Galaxies. This game was a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game, brought to life by Sony Online Entertainment and distributed by LucasArts, before the game's servers were shut down on December 15, 2011.
