The Battle of the Sacred Place was a battle that took place on Naboo following the evacuation of Otoh Gunga in 32 BBY.
Escaping Otoh Gunga, and battling several Trade Federation boats and colo claw fish, Boss Rugor Nass and his escort arrived at the Sacred Place. There, a large army of Gungan troops who had likewise fled the city waited for him. As he arrived, a scout bought a report of a nearby Federation camp. OOM-9 commanded it and was nearby directing the landing of a droid transport ship, but was not present at the camp itself. Nass ordered the destruction of the camp, and his Gungan troops carried it out admirably. They destroyed all the B1 battle droids at the site and razed the buildings with few casualties.
Boss Nass and the Gungans had no time to celebrate as Queen Padmé Amidala had just landed in the swamps along with Captain Panaka, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn and their entourage. She asked for permission to journey to the Sacred Place. Boss Nass obliged them, and they went through the swamps on foot. They battled many Trade Federation troops, who were sometimes already fighting members of the Resistance who retreated into the swamps.
The surviving Resistance members joined Amidala, and after a few skirmishes, the crews of a few transport boats that escaped carried her to safety. They soon arrived at the Sacred Place.
