 The amphibious Gungans dwell in the southern wet swamplands, lakes and seas of the planet.Initially introduced as the Yuuzhan Vong in the book series "The New Jedi Order" (1999–2003), the species were an extragalactic, technophobic, fanatically religious species who were intent upon conquering the galaxy, which they attempted during the Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY).They were both invisible to direct Force sight and unaffected by direct Force powers.
