The Ancient Quarter was a district of the Gungan city of Otoh Gunga. Located at the city's heart, the Ancient Quarter contained the foundations of the original city established by Boss Gallo circa 3000 BBY. The district was dedicated to preserving the city's ancient history, and contained museums housing machinery and tools from the ancient past. Administration of the district was tasked to a small army of volunteers who passionately maintained the ancient structures and museums. While a prominent tourist attraction in its own right, the Ancient Quarter also had residential sections where the most prestigious and expensive manses were located. Home to the old-blood families that maintained their ancestral estates, the residents of the quarter frowned upon new residents taking up lodging in the district.
The High Board Room was a hydrostatic bubble-chamber in Otoh Gungan, from which the Gungan High Council ruled the city. During the Invasion of Naboo, the two Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were escorted to the High Board Room to explain their presence in Otoh Gunga. Nass refused to aid the Jedi in their plight to rescue Queen Amidala from the Trade Federation, though Jinn used a Jedi mind trick to secure a transport to Theed. He also engineered the release of Jar Jar Binks, who was being held under arrest in the Board Room, awaiting a severe punishment for breaking his banishment.
