Catapults were artillery weapons used to launch projectiles against enemy troops over greater distances.[1] In 32 BBY, the Gungan catapult was used against Trade Federation droids during the Battle of Naboo, throwing large Boomas to deactivate the droids.[2] Later, catapults were used by the Ewoks to defend against Imperial forces such as AT-STs in the Battle of Endor.[3]
