Legend

this dark-skinned Gungan served as a commander in the Cularin Militia, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Broof was a veteran of the Battle of Naboo who left his homeworld for the planet Cularin. There, he established the Gungan Security operation in the city of Gadrin, providing security services for the residents of the city. Broof was also one of the founding members of the underground resistance which sprang up when the Metatheran Cartel began making inroads to the trade of Cularin. He was eventually placed in command of the ground forces divisions of the Cularin Militia, and was based on the planet Genarius. He reluctantly agreed to an interview with Yara Grugara, who had been trying to insinuate that the Militia had fabricated rumors of the Thaereian Military hiding in the Cularin System. Broof refused to provide any concrete details, but assured Grugara that the Cularin Militia had only the best interests of the Cularin System in mind, and that no false information had been disseminated. Thus, it was surprising when Broof joined forces with Osten Dal'Nay and allowed the Militia to simply fade into the background. This was not due to a lack of funding, but was actually a bold move on the part of the two Commanders to eventually launch a counter-assault on the Thaereians. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, they launched their assault - known as Operation False Horizon - using surprise to take control of several Thaereian bases throughout the Cularin System. Broof was badly injured in the assault, but returned successful.
