[edit] Characteristics
Gungan battle wagons were almost all wheeled, a design choice made to minimize jolts when traveling over uneven terrain. Gungans employed two varieties of battle wagon, one designed to haul giant boomer ammunition, and another for moving catapult emplacements into battle. It was pulled by one falumpaset that was driven by one Gungan.
[edit] History
In the thick of combat at the Battle of Grassy Plains, Bombad General Jar Jar Binks accidentally opened the cargo ramp of a fully loaded battle wagon, spilling huge boomas onto the battlefield.
