gungan gods

The gungan distinguish land and sea divinities. The monsters od the core as well as some fish species are regarded as angerful and life-donating divinities - guardians of the natural order. Offences against the eternal laws of nature call up these gods. Their appearance is never inconsequential. It is omen, punishment and reminder - the interpretation is incumbent on the highest priests.
In context with this background you understand, that each believing Gungan prefers the sea-funeral.

Innerhalb des gungischen Pantheon lassen sich Landgottheiten und die Gottheiten der Unterwasserwelt unterscheiden. Die Kernmonster sowie manche Fischarten Naboos werden als zornvolle und lebens-spendende Gottheiten angesehen, die über die natürliche Ordnung wachen.  Verstöße gegen die ewigen Gesetze rufen diese Götter auf den Plan. Ihr Erscheinen ist niemals belanglos. Es ist Omen, Strafe und Mahnung – die Deutung obliegt den obersten Priestern.
Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es nicht weiter verwunderlich, dass jeder gläubige Gungan die Seebestattung bevorzugt.
