Tobler Ceel

Tobler Ceel was an Otolla Gungan male who served as a general in the Gungan Grand Army. During the Invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation in 32 BBY, the Gungans were driven from their capital city of Otoh Gunga, leading Ceel to begin planning reprisal attacks. Ultimately, the Gungans allied with Humans to retake Naboo, forming a plan in which the Gungan Grand Army marched toward the city of Theed as a diversion. Ceel led the army on the march alongside Bombad General Jar Jar Binks, and on the Great Grass Plains south of Theed, the Gungans met the Trade Federation Droid Army in battle.

General Ceel gave the orders to raise the deflector shields, which blocked the Trade Federation's artillery. However, the Trade Federation's battle droids were able to get through the force field, and Ceel ordered counterattacks to keep the shields safe. The Gungan also signaled the order for retreat from the overwhelming battle droids once the shields were destroyed but was taken prisoner along with the other Gungan commanding officers. The battle was unexpectedly won for the Gungans when the destruction of a Droid Control Ship shut down every battle droid on the plains, and Ceel later led a victory procession of Gungans in a celebration held in Theed.
