VERY GOOD QUESTION! :^D
Well, if we assume the gungans are just stupid animals, I got the
inspirations from a(believe it or not) "Aliens meets Predators" comic book
series(based on the Aliens and Preditor movie series) where the Company had
set up a cattle colony, and the Predators actually drop off alien eggs on
the cattle range with the intent of impregnating the alien-style cattle with
the intent of hunting them later (If you recall from the Predator II movie,
we see the skull of an "alien" in the space ship on a trophy wall.) The
heroine in the comic is a very attractive and very tough Japanese woman who
ends up working with one of the Preditors, defeats the aliens and alien
queen, blows up the freezer ship and drop ship that is orbit and saves the day.
Anyways, the idea is that we have FTL (faster than light travel) that is
realively cheap as in a Star Wars universe, and we would want to expand our
options for food (for space societies that do not have replicator technology
like the Federation in Star Trek). Heck, the meat could be a delicacy for
all we care!
HOWEVER, if we assume that the gungans are sentient, then the drop ship
could be viewed by the gungans as a medical ship that performing "disaster"
relief for victims onboard an orbiting hospital. In other words the gungans
are tricked. This would be in line with what Mladen was talking about, and
is not the point of the contest, so I would prefer to reitterate that these
gungans are supposed to be "cattle" for my purposes. However, we all know
how much everyone "loves" gungans. Case in point the brickfilm involving
Jar-Jar and a guilotine. "Oooh...yousa all bad!" What can I say?
Let's assume for non-offensive sake that these things have the intelegence
of a your average single-celled creature. :^D
