Gamorrean genealogy was the science of a select group of females who memorized songs and stories that contained the complex history of each family. The six-breasted females often took a senior as well as a junior husband, both of whom had to prove themselves on the battlefield before being allowed to choose a mate. The males were broken up into four castes: the warlord (the most powerful male of his clan, usually married to the matriarch), the clan boar (any other married male that make up the clan's military leaders), the tuskers (unmarried males who have hired into a clan as warriors), and the veterans (old, retired males who have more often than not been injured and can no longer fight).

Despite their violent natures, Gamorreans only used primitive weapons during the combat season, saving their more advanced weapons for off-planet use. Gamorreans also have a deep-seated hatred of droids.

The planet Gamorr was discovered by human traders, who were able to force the Gamorreans into submission through a series of 'negotiations,' and took the Gamorreans with them as slaves, body guards, soldiers, and bounty hunters. Jabba the Hutt was one of many members of his race to employ a number of Gamorreans in his army. In these roles, Gamorreans were exceedingly loyal to their employers, provided that the employer signed the contract in blood and agreed to fight the Gamorreans to prove their worthiness.

The normal body temperature of an average Gamorrean, who stood just under two meters in height, was 105 degrees. (E6, SWSB, COJ, SWJ10, NEGA)

A creature that was served stuffed with grains and grasses. (TJP)

Gamy
This muscular man worked for Haka Hai as a lieutenant at the crimelord's base on Circarpous V, during the early years of the New Order. When Lumbra staged a coup and stole what was supposed to be a valuable crate from Haka Hai, Gamy and the others fled the planet with Lumbra, hoping to earn a portion of the profits from selling the crate. However, Lumbra refused to acknowledge the crate's contents, prompting Gamy to find out for himself. After everyone aboard their ship had bunked down for sleep, Gamy snuck into the cargo hold and opened the crate. Because Schurk-Heren had booby-trapped the crate, it exploded when Gamy opened it, killing Gamy and opening a huge hole in the ship's underside. This forced Lumbra to set down on a remote moon, where they encountered Jedi Master K'Kruhk. (DT2)

Gan Jan Rue's Traveling Menagerie
Bollux once worked for this entertainment troupe as a general roustabout. (HSE)

Ganadote
This immense creature was produced by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as a form of meeting room. Little more than a fifteen-meter-long disk at birth, a ganadote was raised by keepers who knew how to train the creature to grow a certain way. In many respects, the ganadote was simply a mouth, and anus, and a huge stomach. However, as it grew, a ganadote generated a collection of smaller side-stomachs, which were altered by artificially-administered hormones to become chambers and rooms. The organic valves which shut off the stomach became doors, and the ganadote itself became an immense collection of meeting rooms and conference areas. Well-crafted ganadotes were trained to allow their tongues to be used as portable podiums. By applying pressue with a foot or staff, a Yuuzhan Vong could tell the ganadote to move the tongue virtually anywhere within its body. (EL2)

Ganar
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to have" or "to possess." (OWS)

Ganar, Tarlo
This noted Khil tactician and warrior distinguished himself as a member of the Belnar Sector Force, during their defeat of the Peltsic League's forces. However, rather than face mandatory retirement at the end of his military career, Tarlo Ganar set out on his own and eventually joined the m'Yalfor'ac Order. He had been long a friend of Quaal Tavier Catharius, who recognized his skills and took him on as an advisor, despite the consternation of other Bitthaevrians. (AIR)

Ganar, Yith
This female Kel Dor defied her nay-sayers and built a functional Y-Wing starfighter from pieces and parts she salvaged from a scrapyard, during the early years of the New Republic. A loner by disposition, she left her homeworld of Dorin behind after many of her so-called friends questioned her abilities and her ambitions, and set out to be a trader. She took a brief job as a starship mechanic, until a Bothan captain openly questioned her skills. Rather than proving the Bothan wrong, Yith Ganar simply gave him what he was expecting. When his starship exploded while trying to enter hyperspace, Ganar felt nothing more than a passing hint of self-satisfaction. This mean streak sometimes got her into trouble, however, especially if she assumed that an off-hand comment was an insult to her skills or her person. (UA)

Ganash
This violet gas giant planet was the fifth world in the Both System, and was orbited by fourteen moons. It was named for a character in Bothan mythology. (SPG)

Ganath
Primary planet in the Ganath System, an undiscovered section of the galaxy that was cut off from the space near Nar Shaddaa by a huge cloud of interstellar gas. Like the rest of the system, Ganath had lagged behind the rest of the galaxy in terms of its technology. They were limited space travel capabilities, and have not yet developed a hyperdrive. Han Solo and Princess Leia stumble onto the Ganath System while trying to escape from Boba Fett on Nar Shaddaa. (DE2)

Ganch
This clone trooper served as the Commander of the unit that was dispatched to the planet Devaron, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to assist Jedi Master Bolla Ropal on a mission to help the Devaronians rebuild their agriculture. Distinguished by his dark goatee and the three scars on the left side of his head, Commander Ganch understood the need for the mission, but he was often forced to deal with clone troopers who would rather be fighting battle droids than damming rivers for inrrigation. The clones got their wish all too soon, as a Separatist force led by Cad Bane arrived in the Devaron System to capture Master Ropal. Ganch and Ropal's Padawan, Tyzen Xebec, were separated from the main group, and were attacked by Aurra Sing. However, they were able to manage an escape by releasing the dammed-up water and flooding the droids. After it was learned that the trouble on Devaron had been a cover for Bane's capture of Master Ropal, Ganch and his clone troopers were assigned to inspection duty on Ukio, serving under Tyzen when his new Master, Keelyvine Reus, refused to acknowledge Tyzen's abilities. Although Tyzen chafed under his new Master's form of tutelage, Ganch did his best to reassure the young Padawan, explaining that the mission might look boring, but that they had been entrusted with planetside security for an entire world. The mission became a defensive one when Separatist forces launched Project Instinction, in an attempt to either capture Ukio or devastate its agricultural operations. Part of this operation involved stampeding the native gigaunts, and although Ganch had ordered all weapons holstered, trooper Squawk took it upon himself to fire at the creatures, in an attempt to divert their movements. Ganch ordered him to stand down, and even drew his own weapon to force Squawk to comply with the order. Tyzen stepped in between the two clones and demanded to know what was going on, but he was unprepared when Ganch took off his helmet and used to attack the Padawan. Tyzen and Ganch had a brief struggle before Tyzen realized that something was wrong with Ganch, and that their brains were being affected by something outside of their control. Rather than continue to fight against Tyzen, Ganch took out a syringe and injected himself with a tranquilizer. (CWOC2)

Gand
This was the native language of the Gand people. (ANT)

Gand
This planet, located in Outer Rim Territories near the area known as the Centrality, was a gaseous planet that was home to the race of gas-breathers, also called Gand. The Empire overran the planet some years after the end of the Clone Wars, bringing with them sophisticated sensory equipment that all but relegating the abilities of the findsmen to the arcane. (MTS, TBH, NEGA)

Gand
This race of humanoid sentients developed in the gases of the planet Gand. Two distinct subspecies of Gand were known to exist, with nearly a dozen different physical variations having been identified among them. One subspecies evolved without lungs, and did not need to breathe at all, while the other subspecies retained their lungs, but could only inhale ammonia. Thus, the Gand with lungs were able to survive in the various gases of their homeworld, but required special breathing apparatus in order to survive in oxygen-based atmospheres. The lungs of these Gand were quite efficient, able to utilize nearly eighty-five percent of the atmosphere they breathed in with each breath.

It was believed that those Gand with lungs could not regenerate body parts like those of the other subspecies, a characteristic that was discovered sometime after the Galactic Civil War.

The Gand developed a totalitarian monarchy, and various colonies of Gand lived in pockets of mist in the gas giant's atmosphere. When renegade Gand were sought, findsmen were sent out to locate them. When the Empire overran the planet, the findsmen were presented with advanced technology with which to hunt their targets. The better findsmen often became bounty hunters, bringing respect and credits to their homeworld.

The Gand held their names in great reverence. A Gand who had not yet accomplished anything in their life was unable to take an individual name, and was simply known as "Gand." When a Gand completed an important task, they were allowed to take on their family's surname. A further accomplishment eventually provided the Gand with a proper name. Pronouns were almost never used, and were reserved for the janwuine - those famous Gand who accomplished so much that their deeds were known by all. However, if a Gand ever did something to be ashamed of, or caused offense to another Gand, their name was reduced. (MTS, XWN, WG, AE, SWI65, NEGA)

Gand, Eli
This man worked as a merchant near the Czerka office on the planet Kashyyyk, during the era of the Great Sith War. Eli held Matton Dasol in virtual slavery, after Eli ambushed Matton's crew and stole their starship. Eli then convinced Matton that he was paying a debt that his former shipmates owed him, in order to ensure Matton's continued servitude. A passing Jedi Knight, who had discovered Jolee Bindo's droid, learned of Eli's duplicity and exposed him had a fraud. Eli eventually freed Matton. (KOTOR)

Gand Discharger
This unusual weapon was developed by the Gand, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Its energy emissions could either stun or paralyze a target. Very few of these weapons were ever found outside the possession of a Gand, making them a rare collectible among weapon experts. (KOTOR2)

Gand Shockstaff
This weapon was originally developed by the ancient Gand as an implement for herding their prey. It was essentially a high-powered stun-staff, with a sharp tip to goad an unwilling prey along. (KOTOR2)

Gand Silencer
This ancient was a small, high-powered form of force pike. Modern weapons experts and historians were unclear whether the weaon was created by the Gand, or used against them. (KOTOR2)

Gandan, Bey
This Jedi Knight accompanied Klin-Fa Gi on a mission to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong ranks, during the height of the New Republic's struggle against the alien invaders. Unfortunately, both Jedi were captured and enslaved aboard a Shaper's worldship. They discovered that the Shapers had been working to devise a method of exterminating the Jedi Knights, and managed to steal a qahsa with information on the project. They fled captivity and tried to return to the Republic, but Bey was recaptured by the Yuuzhan Vong and Klin-Fa was nearly incarcerated on Bonadan. Klin-Fa convinced Uldir Lochett and the crew of the No Luck Required to launch a rescue attempt for Bey, after returning to Wayland to recover the organic key to the qahsa. Unknown to his friends, Bey had been twisted by the Yuuzhan Vong, and was actually the delivery mechanism for the Shaper virus developed to destroy alazhi trees. He had become disenchanted by Klin-Fa's attention to Yabaley, a fact that shattered his fragile mind. He decided to help the Yuuzhan Vong destroy bacta, then believed he could kill them himself afterward. A Shaper's villip was implanted in his skull, allowing Viith Yalu and Tsaa Qalu to communicate with Bey and give him his orders. He nearly succeeded in tricking his friends to bring him to Thyferra, but Uldir figured out that Bey was the carrier. Bey was cut down in a lightsaber battle with Klin-Fa and Uldir, and the small amount of virus he was able to disperse was quickly eradicated. (SWI62, SWI64)

Gandder's Spin
This starfighter maneuver involves the pilot of a fighter shunting all power to one set of engines - port or starboard - and applying full braking power to the opposite side vents. After a short period (about four seconds), brke power was cut to zero and thrust was cut in half and spread across all engines. The result was that the fighter spins wildly for a few seconds around its center of mass before shooting off on a new trajectory when the spin was stopped. Often, the maneuver was used as cover for a group of proton torpedoes fired at a target just before the spin begins. (SOP)

Gandeal
This planet served as a partner planet to the military world of Fondor. Many of the raw materials needed by the Fondor shipyards were obtained on Gandeal. (SWJ12)

Gandeal-Fondor Hyperlane
This hyperspace route was established by the Empire, in order to more efficiently move starships from Fondor to Coruscant. After the Empire abandoned its facilities at Fondor, the route was rarely used because it was unknown to most independent spacers and corporations. However, when Fondor joined the Galactic Alliance, the Gandeal-Fondor Hyperlane once again saw huge amounts of starshpi traffic, as the GA and its member worlds began purchasing warships to augment their navies. (JE, LF8)

Gander
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a grenade. (GG9)

Gandish, Phylo
This woman, a native of the planet Naboo and the daughter of parents who ran a transportation business, was a noted pilot who retired from active duty to start her own family. She was present at the ceremony which united the Naboo and the Gungans, in the wake of the Battle of Naboo. (CCG13)

Gandle Ott
This planet was primary world in the Ott System, and was the site of one of the first settlements in the Kathol Sector, some six centuries before the Battle of Endor. Known as a "gasper" to its original colonists, Gandle Ott was a mild planet, with a temperate atmosphere which could sustain most humanoid life. During the early years of the New Republic, the planet was often referred to as "Little Coruscant," at least in Kathol Sector. At that time, the population of Gandle Ott was counted in the billions, and the planet was known as an industrial power in the sector. The planetary government was partial to the New Republic, despite the fact that it was nominally under the control of Moff Kentor Sarne. (DARK, KO)

GandleMotors
This small corporation, based on the planet Kolatill, manufactured its own repulsorlift vehicles and repuslor parts for Ikas-Adno. (DARK)

Gandok Scale
This medical assessment model was designed to measure the visual acuity of a being's eyes. A smaller number indicated that a being had finer visual acuity. It was believed that the Bith had a visual acuity of 0.07 on the Gandok Scale. (CN1)

Gandolo IV
A barren moon located in the Outer Rim Territories, Gandolo IV was selected as a settlement by a group of Wookiees fleeing Imperial slavery. Among the Wookiees was Chewbacca, who was helping the Wookiees relocate to the world. Before the Wookiees could establish a community, however, they were discovered by the bounty hunter Bossk, who were being paid by the local Imperial governor. When the Empire tried to overtake the moon, Han Solo landed the Millennium Falcon on top of their troop ship, killing all aboard and stranding the others. (MTS)

Gandorthral Atmospherics
This corporation produced a variety of devices which enabled a user to breath in hostile environments. Their slogan read "Serving all worlds polluted by the Empire since the Battle of Yavin." (ROE, NEGW)

Ganis Shipping
This semi-legitimate transport agency was founded by Ganis the Hutt. (IA)

Ganjuko
Native to a number of planets in the Filve Sector, this huge beast was similar in many respects to the bantha. Both were large beasts, with the average ganjuko standing more than three meters tall at the shoulder and measuring five meters in length. The body of the ganjuko was covered with a thick pelt of fur. However, where the bantha was known as an easily-domesticated beast of burden, the ganjuko was an easily-angered predator capable of killing any other creature it encounters. Their relatively small heads were nearly bald, and rangin in color from red to orange. Their mouths were formed by a sharp beak, which they use to attack their prey. The beaks were also collected and sold on the black market. Their fur, coupled with layers of fat beneath the skin, provide excellent heat-retention in cold climates, making the ganjuko a sluggish and weak creature in areas where the temperature rises above the freezing point. They were long-lived creatures, reaching the age of 110 standard years, but produce just four to eight offspring during this time. They were hunted as trophies, but more often than not the "trophies" were taken by the ganjuko themselves. (COG, SPG)

Gank Filler
This protein substitute was often used to extend ground meats. It was similar in texture to many meats, such as nerf and Mongo Beefhead, but lacked any taste. (OWS)

Gank Killers
An alien race used as body guards by many Hutt crimelords. They have square, yellow faces with permanent snarls, cruel beady eyes, and massive, muscled bodies. They also wear highly-mechanized body armor. Although most Ganks lived on Nar Shaddaa, their exact homeworld was unknown. (E5N, DE1, DE2, GOF1)

Gank Massacres
This devastating war which took place just two hundred years after the Great Hyperspace War, and marked the first true use of the modern Jedi lightsaber in combat. Shatoyo alluded to it many centuries later, during the Great Assembly on Deneba, because it involved a struggle between the Light and Dark Sides of the Force. At its core, the Gank Massacres were started when the Porporites became addicted to ryll spice, which caused them to fall into a homicidal mania. Many races asked the Ganks for help in eliminating the Porporites, which the Ganks accomplished in relatively short order. The emboldened Ganks then set out to massacre other races, which drew the attention of the Jedi Order. The Jedi were dispatched to put an end to the Gank predations, and Supreme Chancellor Vocatara was forced to commission the construction of Juggernaut war droids to augment the Republic's forces. (DLS, NECH, NEGD)

Ganker
This mammalian vermin was commonly found in the ductwork and hidden spaces of large starships, where it fed on scraps and detritus left behind by the crew's normal activities. Most starships were regularly gassed to eliminate such pests, but over time gankers became more and more resistant to the toxins used to kill them. (DN2)

Gankto Tree
Native to the planet Kothlis, this twelve-meter-tall tree evolved in such a way that all its leaved were located near the ground. The top section of the tree was exposed to the elements. This adaption came about as a way to stop birds from nesting in the tree and consuming all its leaves. Although birds continued to nest in the bare branches, the tree had enough leaves to survive. The uppermost branches of the gankto tree were often filled with symbiospore fungus. (SPG)

Ganlihk
This planet was the primary world in the Ganlihk System. (COG)

Gann
This Imperial Grand Moff controlled Sector 5 during the years leading up to the Yevethan Purge. He was nominally in charge, although Warlord Foga Brill held the real power. (SOL)

Gann
This man was a member of Nevo's gang. Nevo sent Gann to follow Boba Fett on Star Station 12, but Gann quickly lost site of the bounty hunter. Fett doubled back on Gann and captured him, the forced Gann to explain why Darth Vader was after him. Fett quietly executed Gann, to ensure that he would not be followed. (EOE)

Gann
This man was a native of the planet Ferro, although he migrated to Zonama Sekot some sixty years before the Battle of Naboo. He became the planet's unofficial spokesman and greeter, meeting with those beings who traveled to Zonama Sekot to obtain a Sekotan starship. In all aspects, Gann remained a Ferroan: reclusive and distrustful of strangers. (RP)

Gann, Mapper
This clone trooper was part of the platoon dispatched to Pengalan IV, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to eliminate a Separatist missile facility on the planet. He was given the nickname Mapper by Joram Kithe, who was stranded on the planet with the platoon's survivors after the Separatist sprang a trap. The nickname, given to help Joram communicate with the troopers, was based on the fact that the clone trooper was the only individual with a datapad that contained a map of Pengalan IV. Mapper was unable to continue fighting, having suffered a broken leg in the initial ambush, but was invaluable in helping the platoon reach safety. It was later revealed to Joram that Mapper and his platoon-mates were actually enhanced clones, having been given additional self-reliance and initiative during their development. These enhanced troops were dispatched with observers like Joram, in order to ensure the production of clone troopers was continued. After the near-disaster on Pengalan, Mapper was given the surname Gann, to help hide the fact that he, in fact, a clone. This helped him gain the confidence of Cherek Tuhm and the team which was dispatched to Tarhassan to rescue Edbit teeks. Like Joram, however, Mapper chafed at Tuhm's bureaucratic style of mission planning and execution, and was only too happy to oblige when Joram set out on his own to capture Teeks. (SWI65, SWI73)

This was one of the many varieties of mood-altering spice which was smuggled during the height of the New Order. (LTA3, MC52)

Ganner
This Imperial Lieutenant served the Imperial Interim Ruling Council, although he was loyal to Xandel Carivus. Carivus assigned Ganner to investigate the deaths of Burr Nolyds and Admiral Banjeer. Ganner discovered that the weapons used to kill both men were marked with a symbol used by Kir Kanos, during his tenure at the training facility on Yinchorr. When the Council was shattered, Ganner fled into hiding. (CE2, HCE)

Ganner
This was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

This being, a noted scientist and droid engineer, formed a corporation that took control of the droid security systems market some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, flooding the market with security-breaking devices that were of superior quality and capability. Gant's droid interface tool became the de facto standard for security breakers throughout the Old Republic. Gant himself was once worked in private practice, until legal issues led to his imprisonment. He then went to work for the Old Republic, and designed the Security Domination Interface. (KOTOR)

Gant, Trenn
This Colonel in the New Republic Intelligence agency investigated the capture of Han Solo's shuttle, Tampion, when he was en route to the Fifth Battle Group in the Koornacht Cluster.

Gantonnerre System
This star system was the last known location of the bounty hunter Tyrn Jiton. (WBC)

Gantor, Tobin
This man was one of the scientists who took in the Jedi Master Ry-Gaul, in the wake of the Clone Wars. Gantor and his wife, Linna Naltree, helped hide Ry-Gaul, but disappeared shortly afterward. It was later learned that Tobin had somehow escaped from the Empire's prison facility on Despayre, but he was unaware that his wife had been forced to work for Jenna Zan Arbor. She sent him a message about her situation, which Tobin relayed to Ry-Gaul, in hopes that the Jedi Master could help rescue her. Ry-Gaul and Trever Flume were able to bring Linna to safety, and the couple decided to travel to the planet Mila to avoid being discovered by the Empire. Gantor's reports of a massive superweapon being constructed near Despayre were relayed to the various members of the Moonstrike resistance movement, and gave them a reason to put aside their petty differences and begin working toward an organized rebellion. (LJ8, LJ9, LJ10)

Gantor Mining Company
This independent mining concern operated in Tapani Sector without aligning itself with any one noble House. (LOE)

Gantoris
This man was one of the many descendants of the original settlers of the planet Eol Sha, who might have been one of the descendants of Ta'ania. He was distinguished by his long, dark hair, and the fact that his eyebrows and lashes had been either plucked or singed away, leaving his face smooth. Information gathered by a passing survey team revealed that Gantoris was sensitive to impending earthquakes, and was he used his innate abilities to protect the colony by predicting seismic events. When an avalanche occurred during his childhood, many of the children and adults with him were killed while he remained safe from harm. Because of his skills, both in predicting earthquakes and as a leader, Gantoris was later elected the leader of the colonists on Eol Sha. Some seven years after the Battle of Endor, Gantoris was sought out by Luke Skywalker as a potential Jedi for his remarkable abilities. Gantoris tested Luke's motives and found them truthful, before agreeing to go with Luke to Yavin 4 for training as a Jedi Knight. The tests were necessary for two reason. First, Gantoris needed to know if Luke was telling the truth about training him. Second, and probably more important, was the fact that Gantoris had been having dreams of a "dark man" coming to him and destroying him. On Yavin 4, Gantoris was often at odds with Corran Horn, who was studying the Force under the alias of Kieran Halcyon. While there, Gantoris was approached by the spirit of Exar Kun, whose smoky spirit form was recognized as the "dark man" from Gantoris' dreams. Kun showed Gantoris how to construct a lightsaber well ahead of the training Luke was providing, and also goaded Gantoris by telling him that there was more to learn the Luke's Light-Side prattle. Although he challenged Luke with his illicit lightsaber, Gantoris resisted Kun's mental grip, and accepted his defeat at Luke's hands with a measure of grace. However, Gantoris was no match for the desire of Exar Kun to return to power, and he was eventually killed by Kun's spirit when he refused to accede to the Dark Side of the Force. (JS, DA, IJ)

Unfortunately for Gaph and the Ryn, they were stranded on Fondor by the crew of the Trevee. (JE)

Gaping Spider
This species of large arachnid was native to the planet Dathomir, where it inhabited several warrens of caves and caverns. It was said that a clan of Nightsisters, later known as the Spider Clan, took over one of these caves and was actually able to control the smaller gaping spiders, forcing them to do their bidding.

Garbage Hunter
This highly-adaptable creature was native to the planet Vulpter, where it was once simply a rodent that scavenged for its food. Over time, as Vulpter became an industrial wasteland, the garbage hunter evolved into an urban scavenger that could burrow its way through debris and refuse to find its food. The two-meter-long garbage hunter had a ridge of chitinous material that protected its back, with a dorsal spine that gave it the appearance of an ocean predator as it moved through the garbage. (PH)

Garbage Pit Racing
This illegal sport sprang up on Coruscant during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo and the election of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The object of the race was to fly through the extremely dangerous garbage pits of Coruscant using specially-designed race wings, avoiding the expelled waste canisters and layers of shielding in an effort to reach the lowest levels. There, racers had to skim the surface of the silicone slurry and obtain a scale from a garbage worm, and then fly back up through the innards of the garbage pits where they finished the race by presenting the scale to the Greeter. Race champions were determined by overall times, as well as their ability to produce scales from larger, deadlier worms. (RP)

Garbage Pits
These huge, open pits were located all over the planet Coruscant, and were two ways in order to eliminate the more than a trillion tons of refuse produced on the planet each day. Most organic materials - food scraps, paper, light metals, and plastics - were actually consumed deep within the pits by garbage worms. Materials which were too toxic to incinerate were placed inside sealed containers and scheduled for transport. The energy from plasma generators was used to power an acceleration field which was used to fire the containers into low orbit. Traffic throughout the planet's cityscape was re-routed around the pits, so that the speeding containers didn't inadvertently destroy a taxi of liner. The containers in low orbit were collected by specialized tugs, and moved to one of Coruscant's moons for more permanent storage. The pits themselves were protected from unwanted intrusion by a series of shields and energy barriers. (RP)

Garbage Snipe
Native to the planet Glottal, this bird-like creature was consumed by the Glottalphibs. (TNR)

Garbage Squid

Garbage Worm
These genetically manufactured creatures were vital to the elimination of waste on Coruscant. It was known that they were based on a number of species of long worms from various other planets, but had been greatly altered by Coruscant's engineers over a period of several hundred years. They lived deep within the garbage pits of the city-planet, wallowing in silicone-filled pools. As waste from the city was dumped into the pits, it was pulverized and mixed into the silicone slurry. The worms then ate anything that they could. They converted much of the waste into small pellets which could be used as fuels or stored. The rest was digested and eliminated as methane, carbon dioxide, and organic wastes. Anything they couldn't eat - heavy metals, primarily - were expelled and sank to the bottom of the garbage pits, where they were collected and sorted by garbage droids. These worms were covered with shiny, iridescent scales of a milky white color. Rumor had it that a garbage worm could eat an entire hyperdrive core and survive ... for a few seconds. The largest worms grew to lengths well over 100 meters, and were nearly four meters in diameter. (RP)

Gardulla
This was one of the many mixed drinks that were created by the Hutts. A Gardulla was considered one of the most mind-relaxing drinks in the Outer Rim Territories. (GPB)

Gardulla
This Hutt was known to most of her kind as a female, and was one of Jabba the Hutt's closest friends. There were also rumors of a romance, as Gardulla was often Jabba's guest at his Tatooine townhome. However, these rumors couldn't be farther from the truth.

Gardulla had originally traveled to Tatooine at the urging of her family, the Besadii kajidic, in order to protect her from the Desilijic clan. Angry and upset at being deposited on the desert planet, Gardulla took control of her adopted city of Mos Taike and began to create her own criminal empire. When the organization got too big, Gardulla was ordered to remain on Tatooine to protect it. As if this weren't enough, she was also ordered to court Jabba with the intent of marrying him, in order to strengthen Besadii's position. After the wedding, she was free to kill Jabba in any manner she pleased.

Jabba, meanwhile, decided that Gardulla was worth the effort, and tried a number of tactics to earn her approval. He even used his own smugglers to raid her holdings, then returned them to her as "gifts." All this effort on Jabba's part was doomed to earn Gardulla's affections, but it did manage to degrade her holdings on Tatooine, thereby allowing Jabba to grow more powerful.

Seeing the error in her ways, Gardulla decided to renegotiate with Jabba for control. Jabba allowed her to take complete control of the slaving operations on Tatooine, in return for her smuggling operations and protection rackets. Gardulla owned many slaves, and was at one time the owner of Shmi and Anakin Skywalker, so this seemed to be a good deal. However, she lost the Skywalkers in a bet with the Toydarian junk dealer, Watto, six years before Watto lost Anakin to Qui-Gon Jinn in a similar wager.

Years later, when the Old Republic began enforcing its anti-slavery laws, Gardulla also lost the slave trade on Tatooine, and was left with nothing. Many knew that Gardulla maintained a large, underground pleasure garden, complete with ponds and plantlife and streams. She paid Sebulba to acquire a group of Ghostling children to serve as living statues in the gardens, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. She also planned to import creatures to hunt the Ghostlings, as part of a cruel, living ecosystem. Unfortunately, her plans were thwarted by Anakin and his friends.

Aurra Sing later revealed that she had been hired by Gardulla to upset the plans of Jabba, in an effort to overthrow his control of Tatooine and claim it for herself. Just prior to the Boonta Eve Classic podrace won by Anakin, Gardulla went to great lengths to create a scale model of the racecourse. She then tried to convince Jabba that her analysts had predicted that Gasgano would win the race, in an effort to destroy Jabba by getting him to bet on the Xexto. Jabba, however, refused to bite on the ruse. Following the race, she offered to buy Anakin back from Watto, but Watto was unable to secure Anakin before Qui-Gon whisked him away to Coruscant.

Later, Gardulla was implicated in the work of the Bando Gora cult, and was questioned by Jango Fett as to the whereabouts of Komari Vosa. It was later discovered that much of Gardulla's interest in the Bando Gora had been part of an intricate plot created by Count Dooku to test Jango's abilities and his usefulness as the source of clones for the Army of the Republic.

In the aftermath of the Republic's crackdown on slavery, Gardulla was arraigned on charges of slave trafficking. She chose to flee Tatooine, rather than serve time in prison, and was never seen again. Note that the comic adaptation of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace indicates that Gardulla was a male Hutt. Also note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that Gardulla died on Tatooine some time after the Battle of Naboo. Also not that the Star Wars Galactic Phrase Book and Travel Guide indicates that Gardulla took over much of the criminal underworld of Tatooine, in the wake of Jabba's death, rounding up and imprisoning a large number of felons in order to "clean up" Tatooine's image. (E1, QGJ, E1C, E1A5, SWO, PRT, SOT, BH, SWDB, GPB)

Gardulla Oola
This hotel, which was built near the Mos Eisley spaceport on Tatooine during the early years of the New Republic, featured cheap rooms, a casino, and exotic entertainment.

Gardulla the Younger
This Hutt was part of the group which formed the leadership of Nal Hutta during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Although Gardulla the Younger didn't wholly agree with Borga's plans to form an alliance, he realized that the plan was not without merit, and suggested selling information on the Vong's invasion plans to the New Republic. (JE)

Garee
This Thaereian man was part of the small gang of spies that assisted Jaris Vollrath on his mission to assassinate Gavid Lermyn, on Cularin, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars.

Unfortunately, Delan and his friends were intercepted by a group of freelance agents, who ensured that the youths survived the encounter. For their part, Garee and his friends claimed that they merely thought the youths had stolen something from their speeder. However, the freelance agents determined that something was going on, and turned the spies over to the Bayonard Peace and Security agency. (JCT1)

Garga worked with Asa Naga to bring in the Sullustan gambler Feen Fenoob, after Darnada demanded that Fenoob pay his debts. However, they were too late to recover credits from the gambler. Fenoob had been killed by Darth Maul, and the two thugs had no choice but to bring the Sith Lord back to Darnada for questioning. While Maul acquiesced to being brought to Darnada, it was only because it was part of his large mission for Darth Sidious to eliminate the Dug. Once aboard Darnada's space station, Maul executed every living being he encountered, including Gargachykk, while only Asa Naga managed to escape. (DM)

Gargantuan
This massive, prototype vehicle served as Garm Bel Iblis' primary base of operations during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War.

(GMS)

Gargon
This old recluse faked his own death shortly after he single-handedly terraformed a world for himself to live on. He faked his death because he didn't want his vast wealth and riches split up among his credit-hungry relatives. His false will demanded that all his living heirs had to spend a full night in his mansion, which he had elaborately rigged up to provide scares and traps. This way, he could see which of his heirs was most worthy, and could listen in on their discussions about him. He used his background in the theater to portray his own butler, Jeeves, who had actually passed away several years before. (GMS)

Gargon
This planet was once held solely by gangsters. It was infiltrated by Han Solo and Chewbacca sometime before they joined the Alliance, when they received a double payment for stealing a hoard of spice stored there.

Gargonn
This immense Hutt was easily distinguished from the rest of his species by the fact that he lost the right side of his head in an accident involving a wandrella worm on Circarpous V. As an infant, Gargonn had ben abandoned on Nar Shaddaa, surviving only by performing tricks for passersby and feeding on any vermin he could lure close enough to catch. He eventually developed a small entertainment "business" on the Smugglers' Moon, hiring other performers and splitting their profits. His obsession with entertainment led Gargonn into the business of trafficking exotic and endangered plants and animals for wealthy collectors. It was Gargonn who discovered a way to sell mutant akk dogs, running them from his base deep in the bowels of Nar Shaddaa. Gargonn also operated a series of sentient gladiator events, in association with the Circus Horrificus. When the Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Depa Billaba discovered that the source of the akk dogs was Gargonn, the Hutt had them placed in the gladiator pit against the very dogs they were trying to rescue. Although the Jedi managed to escape, Gargonn also fled into obscurity. Note that this character was also referred to as Gargon. (ETM, WOTC)

Gargrell

This planet, located in the Brak Sector of the galaxy, was located near the Corellian Run. This made the planet a valubale resource during the Clone Wars, and Separatist forces quickly established a base on the planet. The Galactic Republic was forced to react, in order to maintain the safety of the Corellian Run. In an unusual turn of events the lead Republic AT-TE was stopped by a missile attack just as it reached the Separatist base, setting off a series of point-blank battles between opposing forces.

Garindan also was known to dislike Jabba the Hutt, and was often found delivering false information about the crimelord in an effort to foil Jabba's plans. Much of his information regarding Jabba came from the Devaronian Labria. (E4, E4R, SCRE, MTS)

Each Garman-class ship could transport up to twenty skimmers, and had a series of collection tanks which were used to store the gases collected by the skimmers from gas giant planets. These ships required a crew of 300 officers and four gunners, and could transport up to twenty passengers and 70,000 metric tons of cargo. To protect themselves from pirates, the Garman-class ships were armed with four quad-laser cannons. (FBS)

Garn
This planet was described to Luke Skywalker by a vision of Obi-Wan Kenobi. He later intercepted a transmission which mentioned the planet. Note that Classic Star Wars: Devilworlds indicates that Luke received this transmission while practicing with his lightsaber aboard his X-Wing! Luke travelled to Garn, which was a desolate world of craggy rocks and dead trees shrouded in a thick yellow fog, and discovered a trove of ancient Jedi armor. The planet was barren because, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin, it was laid to waste by the Jedi Knights, who strove to eliminate the Order of the Terrible Glare. He also discovered the Portal Desolate and the soul-snares used to trap the life energy of ancient Jedi. He managed to destroy the portal and free the energies. (CSWDW, OWS)

Garnatrope, Kelven
This man was a wanted criminal, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. He claimed to be the Corellian Strangler, but no one ever managed to get a good enough image of him to attach to the bounties that were posted for his capture. At one point, the bounty on Garnatrope's head reached 38,000 credits, in response to the murders he had committed. After committing a fourth murder, the bounty was raised to 43,000 credits, and a picture was actually taken. The man in the picture appeared to be wearing a full-body liquid-containment system, as if he were breathing some sort of fluid. Many bounty posting agencies questioned the legitimacy of these pictures, especially after subsequent pictures portrayed Garnatrope as a wide-eyed, furry humanoid. It was later discovered that "Kelven Garnatrope" was actually a Bimm named Toki Tollivar, who was also an adept in the dark arts of the Sith. Tollivar drew great pleasure in strangling his victims, using the Dark Side of the Force to crush the larynx of his victims. He used the Garnatrope alias to book passage aboard the Chancellor Fillorean, but he as unable to control his need to kill. In short time, Tollivar had strangled the entire crew and all the passengers, but he was unable to operate the luxury liner. The ship drifted through the Core Worlds until it was located by Zayne Carrick and the crew of the Hot Prospect, which gave Tollivar the idea of stealing the mining vessel and escaping so that he could continue his killing spree. (KOR4, KOR6, KOR7, KOR12)

He took out a loan from Grappa the Hutt to cover the expenses of his first ship, the Moldy Crow, but gave the ship up to Grappa as payment after inheriting the Dorion Discus from his dead sister, Neena. (RPG, SWJ1, WOTC)

Garnib
This planet, the primary world in the Garnib System, was the homeworld of the Balinaka, considered by many to be among of the galaxy's most artistic beings. They enjoy a life of love and expression. The native race, the Balinaka, were subjugated by the Empire, but put up no resistance or complaint. They paid their taxes and were only marginally garrisoned. The planet's day lasted 35 standard hours, and its year lasted 432 local days. It was a cold world, covered in frigid oceans and glaciers. Despite its bleak appearance, Garnib had a certain stark brutality which made it beautiful. (PG1)

Garnib Crystal Corporation
Known on Garnib as the GCC, this was the primary source of Garnib crystals for the galaxy. Note that this corporation is referred to as Galactic Crystal Creations in Planets of the Galaxy, Volume One. (GMS, PG1)

Garnib Crystals
Valuable gemstones found on the planet Garnib, Garnib crystals were rumored to have addictive properties. The original crystals were formed when Vornest Dep-thesel Digarsarg incorporated colored pumice and small gemstone fragments into ice sculptures. The ice sculpture shone with brilliant flashes of light refracting through the colored pumice and gemstones. Over the years, the creation of these crystals had become its own form of art, with craftsbeings working each and every crystal into an individual work of art. These crystals were not mass-produced, and each one was different. What makes them addictive was the swirling patterns of light thrown off when they encounter sunlight. Many beings have been known to sit in from of them for hours, simply watching the display change as the sun shifted position. Most physicians point out that the addiction was really just a short-term overstimulation of the optic nerve, but that certain beings can become psychologically dependent upon the light. (PG1)

Garos
This was a common nickname for the planet Garos IV. (SWJ12, OWS)

Garos IV
This thickly-forested world was settled by human colonists some 4,000 years ago. The inhabitants became self-sufficient due to Garos IV's rich farmlands. A brisk trade developed between the Garosians and their neighbors, the Sundars, who were part of the colonization effort. The Sundars developed technology, and the two worlds complimented each other. However, the Sundars have recently begun to migrate to Garos IV, settling in the valleys and establishing factories and industrial centers. This emigration began about 200 years before the Galactic Civil War, and raised the ire of the agricultural Garosians. When a Garosian grain facility was destroyed, the resentment among the two neighbors bubbled over, and a civil war was started. It lasted eighty-two years until a truce was signed. Garos IV was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. Just after the onset of the Clone Wars, Garos IV was captured by the Separatists, whose forces scored an early victory over the Grand Army of the Republic. During the last years of the Old Republic, the Garosian-Sundar truce was regularly violated until the Empire took control of the Garos System. The Garosians became strong supporters of the Alliance, and held onto their beliefs until the New Republic took control. Once the rest of the galaxy came to realize that the University of Garos was a top-notch school, more beings began traveling to Garos IV to attend classes there. An economic boom followed, as the students created a need for virtually every service. The planet had two moons, and was located spinward of the Nyarikan Nebula. The average day on Garos IV lasted twenty-five standard hours, and its year encompassed 382 local days. (SWJ1, SWJ12, DTR, HNN5, CWWS)

Lord Gar-Oth maintained a police and security force of battle droids, each of which was programmed to enforce Gar-Oth's many laws and regulations to the letter. Gar-Oth forcibly took control of the planetoid, killing any being who stood in his path. He murdered the ruler of the planetoid and tried to force his daughter, Lourdes, to marry him, in an effort to legitimized his rule. When Yoshi challenged Gar-Oth's rule, Gar-Oth sent his huge gladiator droid, the Goliath, to fight for him. However, Gar-Oth was unprepared for the attack of Princess Lourdes, who drove a sword into his chest and killed him. (SWS)

She earned the rank of Captain among Brakiss' Second Imperium troops. She took control of Luke Skywalker and Tenel Ka, and transported them to the Shadow Academy. Luke feigned limited knowledge of the Force to lull her into a false sense of security, then used the Force to physically fling her into an escape pod on the Shadow Chaser and set her adrift in space. She returned to the Shadow Academy, and later helped Tamith Kai kidnap Zekk. When Brakiss launched his attack on the factories of Kashyyyk, Garowyn submitted to Zekk's leadership in order to gain an opportunity to recover the Shadow Chaser. She nearly succeeded, but was thwarted when she discovered the ship had been damaged in an ion storm. In a struggle with Chewbacca and Jaina Solo, Garowyn lost her footing in a tall wroshyr tree and plummeted to her death. (SA, LO, L)

Garqi
This unimportant Outer Rim world was under the control of the Empire for many years after the Battle of Endor. It was an agricultural world that longed for its freedom, despite the fact that it was a source of luxury foodstuffs for the Core Worlds. Because of the natural elements found in the planet's crust, the native plant life took on a purple coloration, giving the planet a violet appearance from space. Corran Horn traveled to Garqi to escape Imperial entanglements after he left the Corellian Security Force, and was known to the students of Garqi Ag University through his droid, Whistler, who went by the handle of Xeno. He worked undercover as an assistant the Imperial prefect Mosh Barris, and helped a number of political prisoners escape from the planet. Among the prisoners was Dynba Tesc and the the Duros trader, Lai Nootka. Years later, after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Destrillion and Dubrillion, they started working their way toward the Core. Following the Battle of Dantooine, and just before the destruction of Ithor, the alien invaders discovered Garqi. The planet's defenses were unprepared to put up any resistance, and the efforts of Corran Horn, Jacen Solo, and Ganner Rhysode could not save the planet. After a brief battle, the Yuuzhan Vong captured Garqi and began reforming the planet as a breeding ground for Chazrach warriors. While on Garqi, the Jedi learned that the vonduun crab armor of the Yuuzhan Vong was susceptible to the pollen from the Bafforr tree. However, the planet Ithor was destroyed before any action could be taken. (TFE, KT, DTR, NJOSB, GORW)

Garr
This dark-skinned youth was one of the many children who were orphaned during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Garr was rescued from Excarga, after Separatists took control of the mines there. Aboard the Candaserri, Garr tried to befriend young Boba Fett. Garr was a member of a near-human species which was asexual until the age of thirteen, when their bodies changed and adopted male or female characteristics. Boba eventually discovered that he liked Garr, and found that spending time with a friend was a good experience. However, when the Candaserri landed on Bespin to drop off the orphans, Garr was caught off-guard when Boba fled into the city's depths. He pursued Boba, only to have the young bounty hunter tell him that he didn't need any friends. Garr then told Glynn-Beti where Boba was, in an effort to bring him back. (BF2)

Garr, Faltun
This Imperial Colonel was placed in charge of the Incom Industries facility on Fresia, after the Empire nationalized the corporation during the height of the New Order. In his mid-sixties at the time, Garr was known more for his competent, though uncharismatic, approaches to his work. After serving as a soldier and officer at Kuat Drive Yards and various Sienar Fleet Systems facilities, many thought the posting on Fresia was something of a demotion. Garr, however, approached his new assignment with enthusiasm. (CCW)

They were attracted by the sounds of a repulsorlift, and most ultrasonic emissions will send them into a killing frenzy. Their native world was unknown, although it was later discovered that they were biologically engineered by the Imperial scientist Luthos Garral by crossing a Mantessan panthac with several other creatures. A normal garral measures about two meters in length, had grey fur, and had a short tail topped with tufts of white fur. (DFR, TLC, TTSB)

Garray
A native of the planet Abregado-rae, this portly but energetic man served as the base Commander of Caluula Station, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Garray left his homeworld early in the alien invasion, when his homeworld came under fire. He found himself in an unenviable position in the months following the Galactic Alliance's Operation Trinity, as the Yuuzhan Vong began attacking the station. He believed that the alien invaders were planning to overrun Caluula in order to reach Lianna, but the Yuuzhan Vong commander explained that Caluula's inhabitants were to be sacrificed to the Yuuzhan Vong gods. When the Yuuzhan Vong attacked with a ychna, Garray found himself powerless to defend the station. Faced with the imminent destruction of Caluula Station, Garray issued the evacuation orders, hoping to get as many people as possible to the planet's surface. (UF)

Garris, Keil
The son of Venadar Garris, Keil Garris was also an alias used by Han Solo. As Keil, he helped Venadar - actually Garris Shrike - swindle wealthy Corellians out of their credits with a fake asteroid mining scam. Pavik Tharen eventually discovered that Han was really Keil, and this precipitated Han's flight from Corellia. (TPS)

Garris, Venadar
This alias was once used by Garris Shrike. Under the name of Venadar, he sold shares to wealthy Corellians in a fake duralloy asteroid mining operation. He also used Han Solo in the cam, claiming him to be his son, Keil. The scam was eventually uncovered, but not before Shrike made a tidy profit and went underground. (TPS)

Garrison Company 125a was nearly destroyed when it attacked the Alliance base on Gaulus, before Harles was alerted to the Alliance's attempt to destroy the base with the Imperials inside. (RASB)

Garrison Moon
This was the name given to the single moon that orbited the planet Kessel. It was among the spice miners as the Sky Bogey, because its bright presence in the sky was similar to that of the bogeys that inhabited the caverns and tunnels that riddled Kessel's crust. The Garrison Moon appeared to have been hollowed out, with much of its substance having been removed by the Empire in order to establish a garrison station on the moon. The Imperial garrison also contained the Imperial Correction Facility, which was later taken over by Moruth Doole. The Garrison Moon had a normal day of 13 standard hours, and orbited Kessel's sun every 644 local days. Some seven years after the Battle of Endor, the Garrison Moon was destroyed by Tol Sivron and the scientists of the Maw Installation, who tested the superlaser of their Death Star prototype by firing it at the moon. Some of the crescent-shaped fragments remained locked in orbit around Kessel, creating an unusual vista in the sky. Much of the Imperial barracks on one of these fragments survived the blast, and Lando Calrissian used them as emergency housing when he was forced to evacuated the planet Kessel, some three years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. It was during this time that Han and Leia Solo's granddaughter, Allana Djo Solo, began experiencing strange communications through the Force with someone who seemed to be living on the Garrison Moon. Allana didn't know who or what was communicating with her, but she knew that there was something frightening about them. (JS, COTF, JASB, GORW, FJ1)

Garrulan, Cash
This overweight Twi'lek once served as a vigo within the Black Sun organization, before he retired to Murkhana, many years before the onset of the Clone Wars. His operations drew the attention of the Jedi Council, who wanted to put him out of business in an effort to ensure stability on the planet. However, Jedi Master Roan Shryne discovered that Garrulan was an excellent source of information on the Separatists, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Shryne even learned of the military build-up that was occurring on worlds loyal to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, although the Jedi Order discounted the information at the time. When the Battle of Geonosis confirmed Garrulan's information, he was allowed to continue in business, provided that he maintained a relationship with Shryne. In the wake of the command to execute Order 66, Garrulan relayed information to Shryne and Olee Starstone about the so-called Jedi Rebellion and the massive attack on the Jedi Temple. Despite knowing that the information came from reliable sources, Garrulan maintained the belief that Emperor Palpatine was behind the entire situation. Garrulan also maintained his loyalty to Shryne and the Jedi when Darth Vader arrived on Murkhana and demanded information on Shryne's location, leading the Dark Lord away from Shryne's escape route by indicating that he might be trying to escape offplanet aboard Bioto's ship, the Dead Ringer. Garrulan then arranged for them all to escape to Mossak on two separate ships, recognizing that his operations on Murkhana were no longer viable. After ensuring that the Drunk Dancer escaped into hyperspace, Garrulan's own vessel was intercepted and destroyed by Imperial forces. All hands on board, including Garrulan himself, were killed in the resulting explosion. (RDV)

Garsi and Wyrlan were assigned to work with Tahiri Veila, during her interrogation of Ben Skywalker, in the weeks following the Second Battle of Fondor. Their role was to protect Tahiri if necessary, and they were forced into action when Ben managed to escape from the hoverchair in which he had been strapped. After Ben used the Force to deflect one of their stunning blasts at Tahiri, he offered Garsi and Wyrlan the chance to stay alive, if they helped him understand what was going on in the Galactic Justice Center, and to escape. Ben then took they armor to disguise himself and the dead body of Lon Shevu. (LF9)

He was captured Imperial agents on Kothlis shortly before the Battle of Endor, and pumped for information. His identity was assumed by Imperial Security Bureau agent Cladus Glynn, who hoped to either obtain information on Alliance agents or lure the agents onto a ganjuko hunt and eliminate them. (SPG)

Gart, Breth
This young Agamarian man joined the Alliance at the same time Keyan Farlander did, some time before the Battle of Yavin. He desparately wanted to become a pilot, but Gart was just sixteen when he signed up, prompting several instructors to worry that he might be mature enough to become a pilot. In his youth on Agamar, Gart contracted a rare disease that had no outward symptoms, but caused him to suffer from disorientation sickness when he began his training in a cockpit. The condition seemed to have abated while he completed his simulator training, but it cause him problems during his first actual flight. This kept him out of flight training on his first two attempts to join the ranks of the pilots. He persevered, though, and overcame his condition on the third try. He completed his training with satisfactory skills, and was chosen by Keyan Farlander for ative duty when the cruiser Defiance was attacked by the Immortal. Unfortunately, Gart was killed shortly before the Battle of Yavin, during an Alliance raid on Kalla VII, when his fighter crashed into the Priam just as the frigate was exiting hyperspace to join the battle. (XW, XWP)

Garth
This was a common name among the Drall. (UANT)

Gartogg
This was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)

Gartogg
One of the Gamorreans serving Jabba the Hutt just prior to the crimelord's death, Gartogg was dim-witted even for a Gamorrean. Many deaths went unnoticed by Gartogg, who was easily fooled into believing that the dead bodies were, in fact, asleep. Ree-Yees led Gartogg to believe that the deaths of Ak-Buz and Phlegmin were part of a grand plot by Ephant Mon, and nearly missed the true nature of the real plots brewing in the crimelord's palace. He stumbled into Dannik Jerriko, and discovered that Jerriko was an Anzat. Gartogg tried to tell Ortugg that Jerriko was behind the strange deaths, but Ortugg believed that Gartogg was just being thick-headed, as usual. Unfortunately, Gartogg was right: Jerriko was trying to consume Han Solo's soup, and was building up a plot to get him close to Solo. Gartogg carried the bodies of Phlegmin and a B'omarr monk around as evidence, until the bodies were putrified and partially mummified by the harsh Tatooine environment. Following the death of Jabba, Gartogg was often seen wandering around Mos Eisley with his two "friends" in tow. (TJP)

Gartro
This eggs of this creature were considered a culinary delicacy, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Native to Coruscant, the gartro was a small, dragon-like reptile which scavenged the industrial sections of the planet for food. Despite the glamor of eating gartro eggs, many native Coruscani believed these creatures to be noisy nuisances. The underdwellers of the planet's cityscape often killed gartros for their stringy flesh, which was grilled and sold by vendors. (CCW, CN1)

Gartro Rookery
This was the name given to an abandoned warehouse in Coruscant's industrial sector, during the last years of the Old Republic. Once a Nebula Consumables warehouse, the building was vacated when Nebula decided it needed to streamline its operations. Thousands of tons of denta beans were left to rot, attracting the attention of a huge flock of gartros. The location was later used as a headquarters for The Lost Ones gang. (CCW)

Garu-bear
A creature known for its tenacious protection of its offspring. (BP)

Garuk
This Tasari male was the leader of a secret cult that worshipped Tasar Crystals. He father led the cult before him, and it was the only life Garuk knew. However, he was really only interested in power and wealth, and paid lip-service to the cult's beliefs. In order to maintain a luxury lifestyle, Garuk began selling off his cult's crystals without their knowledge. (SWJ15)

Gar-Ul
This Weequay criminal was active on the planet Qiilura, during the last years of the Old Republic. When Ghez Hokan began hiring individuals to serve as part of his "police force," Gar-Ul and his brother Guta-Nay were among the first to sign up. Gar-Ul was known more for his brutish violence than his intelligence, although this allowed him to fit into Hokan's force with ease. It was Gar-Ul who discovered the presence of Jedi Master Kast Fulier on Qiilura, after a group of farmers tipped him off to the Jedi's presence. Gar-Ul was unable to capture Fulier's apprentice, Etain Tur-Mukan, who managed to escape. During the search for the young Jedi, Gar-Ul crossed the path of the clone commando Darman, who killed the Weequay with a quick slash of a vibroblade across his throat. (RCHC)

Garve
This drifter was one of the few who survived a stint as the caretaker of the Imperial base on Jellyfish Cove. A loner and a soldier of fortune, the Empire approached him with the offer of easy payment for watching over the base until he was relieved. He nearly succumbed to the wiles of the ethereal wraiths there. Bara discovered how to block the sunlight by using a trooper's uniform, and nearly had Garve. Garve was able to escape to a landing prisoner ship, which he hijacked when it landed. Rather than let the wraiths attack the prisoners, Garve took them with him to Tatooine. There, he set the prisoners free in the custody of Phlik. (GAL4, TMEC)

Garyn
This being was regarded as the most powerful crimelord on the moon Rori, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Garyn, Alexi
Known simply as Lex, this man was a Force-sensitive being who dreamed of becoming a Jedi Knight. Unfortunately, by the time his abilities were discovered, he was too old to be considered for training. Instead of remaining on the Light Side of the Force, Garyn chose a life of crime, and eventually became the leader of the vast organization known as Black Sun many years before the Battle of Naboo. Garyn surrounded himself with the strongest vigos, and even chose the Dathomir Witch Mighella as his personal bodyguard. However, Garyn and his organization were unprepared for the fury of Darth Maul, who had been dispatched by his master, Darth Sidious, to elminate any trace of evidence surrounding Hath Monchar and his attempt to sell information about the upcoming blockade of Naboo. Hath Monchar had tried to sell the information to Darnada, the Dug vigo who worked for Garyn. Maul destroyed Darnada's entire operation, then wiped out that of Morn on Calamari, before learning that Asa Naga had fled to Garyn's fortress on Ralltiir. The Sith Lord eventually caught up with Garyn on Ralltiir, and destroyed the remaining vigos before drowning Garyn himself. (DM)

Garyn Raiders
This small gang of criminals was formed on the moon of Rori during the height of the New Order. They were originally lieutenants in the organization of Alexi Garyn, and managed to survive the execution of their peers at the hands of Darth Maul, many years earlier. They fled to Rori to re-establish their operations. Although not official supporters of the Alliance, the Garyn gang spent much of its time harassing Imperial operations in the Naboo system. (GQRG, SWGAL)

Garzal
This was a Corellian swear word. (DN1)

GAS
This was a common acronym used to describe the Galactic Alliance Security force. (FJ3)

Gas Binder
Developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, this medicinal fluid was used in the absence of gas masks or other breathing apparatus. When injected into the bloodstream, a gas binder could help rid the blood of a variety of toxins. Many medkits and field packs used by scouts and explorers contained a supply of gas binder. (SHPT)

Gas Gem
This rare stone was found in the atmosphere of the planet Bespin, where it was formed from the various gases which surround the planet's core. As the gases drop toward the core, they were compressed in various combinations, until small whorls form around minute particles. The gravitational pressures compress the gases around the particles, formed strange, clear jewels that appear to continually shift and change. (GCQ)

Gas Grenade
Any offensive weapon that can be thrown or propelled into an enemy grouping, a gas grenade does not produce shrapnel when it explodes. Instead, it releases stored chemical or biological gases into the enemy's breathing space. (TB)

Gas Hauler
This was a generic term used to describe any transport vessel that was designed to carry fuel between planet-based refineries to locations in orbit. Other types of gas haulers carried fuel from a fleet's supply vessel to other starships in the fleet. (TFUN)

Gas Mine
This ancient form of mine was developed to expel a cloud of poisonous gas when stepped on. They were used primarily during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Gasan String Drum
A musical instrument played by Figrin D'an. (MTS)

Gascon
This planet was of particular interest to both the Alliance and the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was powerful and independent, and had no fear of Imperial pacification. Likewise, it felt no need to assist the Alliance.However, the planet's location and natural resources made it a valuable ally for either side. After the destruction of Alderaan, several grass-roots rebellions sprang up, hoping to force the leaders of Gascon to side with the Alliance. (GMS)

GA-series Intelligence Droid
This outdated model of information analysis droid was produced by Cybot Galactica for use in scientific and business-oriented thinktanks. It was eventually replaced with the GY-series. (TBSB)

Gasgano
This gangly alien was a Xexto from the planet Troiken, and was generally considered one of Tatooine's best pod racers. He was sponsored by Gardulla the Hutt and served as her personal podracing champion, although he invariably lost races to Sebulba. Gasgano placed second behind Anakin Skywalker, in the famous Boonta Eve Classic race won by the nine-year-old human. Known as an intellectual racer, Gasgano turned into a drunken drawler whenever he had too much too drink. (E1, E1N, YJC1, IG1, PRT, NEGC)

Gasgor Valley
This was one of the many residential transitways found in Galactic City, on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (EAP)

Gasha
This was one of the many settlements found in the planet Bestine IV. Gasha was actually a floating city, built on the surface of Bestine IV's ocean. (EGP)

Gasifier
This powerful mining tool was used to extract certain minerals that were otherwise impossible to remove from the surrounding rock. Gasifiers used intense beams of electrical energy to convert the rock into plasma-like gases, which could then be collected by vacuum systems and passed through special filters to collect any gasified minerals. The exposed minerals could then be chipped from the vein and collected.. (CN2)

Gasmasker
Developed by a secret branch of the Cularin Militia, the gasmasker was a device that was to be worn by the Cloud Force unit of zero-g assault teams. In simple terms, the gasmasker was a kind of cloaking device that would allow a soldier to freefall through the atmosphere of the planet Genarius without being detected. The gasmasker worked by monitoring the atmosphere around the soldier and recreating it at the molecular level in the immediate area surrounding the soldier. In this way, the perturbance of the air around a falling soldier was masked, meaning that sensor systems were virtually unable to track the soldier. (LFCW)

Gasnit
This immense, batlike predator was discovered on an uncharted jungle planet by Milac Troper. A gasnit swarm attacked Troper's scouting team, and Troper believed that Dayla Kev and Hereven had been killed by the creatures. The gasnit attacked by grasping its prey with its sharp claws, which dug into the prey and held on tightly with incredible muscle power. The bite of the gasnit was highly poisonous, allowing the gasnit to grasp and bite its prey, then release it to die. Once dead, the gasnit could feast at its leisure. The average gasnit was covered with short, grey fur, and was generally immune to heat and most poisonous substances. (GMR6)

Gasper
This term was used by explorers and scouts to denote any planet which was ideally suited to supporting Human life. (DARK)

Gasser

Gast
This was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Gast, Edda
This Imperial doctor was one of the key figures in the genetic research of Project Chubar, performed at Binring Biomedical and sponsored by Warlord Zsinj. Using the studies of her uncle as a starting point, Doctor Gast developed several new ways to take humanoid alien species and manipulate their brains to make them smarter and meaner. Zsinj had hoped to create an army of aliens which would help him better infiltrate the New Republic's ranks and destroy it from within. Gast, a native of the planet Saffalore, was only too happy to help. One of her first subjects was the Gamorrean, Gamma-9104. After Zsinj learned of the escape of Gamma-9104 - who called himself Voort saBinring - and the Ewok Kettch from her uncle's facility, he confronted Doctor Gast and Doctor Novin Bress. He provided both with blasters to kill each other, as punishment for the escapes. Edda didn't hesitate, shooting Bress to maintain her own existence. She was allowed to continue, but was eventually captured by agents of Wraith Squadron on Saffalore. Zsinj tried to kill her with one of his brainwashed subjects, but Nawara Ven prevented that death by getting her injured body into a bacta tank quickly. In return for a huge sum of credits and a new identity on Coruscant, she agreed to tell the Republic all about Zsinj's plans. She opted to collect her payment in Imperial credits, and was accompanied to Coruscant with Ven himself as her bodyguard. This suited Ven just fine, since Gast was arrested by Republic agents upon her arrival, on charges of trying to smuggle Imperial credits onto the planet for seditious purposes. Her own cunning had backfired, and she was imprisoned. (SOC)

Gast, Tuzin
This man was employed by Binring Biomedical, and was one of the leaders in the Imperial experiment known as Project Chubar, designed to create near-human intelligence in the galaxy's more primitive humanoid species. It was Tuzin who arranged for the Imperial officer Zsinj to obtain a majority share in Binring's operations, and who described the usefulness of his experiements. However, over time, Gast became too attached to his subjects, and feared for their existence in Imperial control. He staged a massive explosion in the Epsilon Wing of the labs on Saffalore, hoping to sacrifice himself so that the creatures could escape. Warlord Zsinj's forces managed to recover all but one of the subjects, either dead or alive, but this survivor was the Gamorrean Voort saBinring. Tuzin died in the explosion, which his neice Edda claimed was a suicide. (SOC)

Gastess, Sarlim
This "blind" Gotal was the founder and Chief Executive of Gastess' Finance. Sarlim was blind because he had no sensitivity to the Force, unlike most others of the Gotal species. This had not proven to be a disadvantage, however, for his was a ruthless and domineering businessperson. Among other Gotals, Gastess was considered a clinical psychopath, but he functions well with other species. In general Sarlim was ill-tempered, ill-mannered, brash, and manipulative. He runs Gastess' and the corporations it consumes with an iron fist, uncaring about the work he does as long as the profits were good. (GG9)

Gastess' Finance
This Outer Rim business was run by the despicable Gotal, Sarlim Gastess. This operation specializes in hostile takeovers of well-run corporations. Gastess then fires ranking management, inserts its own managers, and restructures the company. A short while later, Gastess will sell the "new" corporation for a huge, short-term profit. It was not usual to see Gastess break its own records on the Parmic Sector Stock Exchange. The corporation was large enough to purchase entire planetary conglomerates, but had found them hard to liquidate. (GG9)

Gastinin, Gar
This Duros was a small-time smuggler and con artist, and a friend of Vilmarh Grahrk during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Gastinin was among the many criminals who seriously doubted every single word that came out of Grahrk's mouth. (TDV)

Gat
This Devish male was one of the many prisoners who were being transport to Detention Moon Gradient Seven aboard the prison barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. Gat suffered from liver trouble, and was often forced to spend time in the ship's infirmary. Thus, after the Purge suffered engine trouble and an engineering crew attempted to salvage parts from a derelict Star Destroyer, Gat was in the infirmary when members of the crew suddenly became ill and were treated by Doctor Zahara Cody. Like others who were exposed to the strange contagion, Gat was quickly infected and died within hours after suffered from a massive seizure and respiratory arrest. Gat's body was placed in the ship's small morgue, where it was later infected by the strange contagion that was inadvertently carried back from the Star Destroyer. The dead body was re-animated by the contagion, and nearly killed Doctor Cody when she returned to the infirmary. Gat and the other undead beings had found a number of blasters, and opened fire at her and Kale Longo. Although the undead were poor shots, one blaster bolt caught Kale in the skull, killing him instantly. Cody was forced to drop his body and run for her life. (SWDT)

Gat
This was a unit of measure that described the amount of tension present in a connection between two objects. (CFG)

GAT Droid
Developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems and produced by the Baktoid Armor Workshop, the GAT Droid was a maneuverable tank that served as the core of many offensives. The GAT could perform a number of missions, including reconnaissance and attack, and was armed with a pair of medium laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. It was also heavily armored, so that it could withstand heavy fire. (SWI62)

GAT-12g
This model of the standard GAT-12h Skipray Blastboat was armed with a tractor beam projector in place of the concussion missile launcher. (FOP)

GAT-12h
The Sienar Fleet Systems designation for the Skipray blastboat, a 25-meter-long defense and patrol ship built for use by the Empire. Although small, it had the power output to rank it as a capital ship. It was an exceptionally well-armed craft equally suited for atmospheric and deep-space use. The rear section, containing the main drive, lasers, and stablizing wings, rotated around the axis of the ship on a specially-designed sleeve, allowing the ship to have both speed and maneuverability. The GAT-12h was introduced shortly before the Battle of Yavin, and was not immediately purchased by the Empire. So, Sienar Fleet Systems began selling them on the open market, where they were snapped up quickly by pirate and mercenary fleets. The Skipray was equipped with the following shipboard components: 3 Mendarn Arms Dar-2 Medium Ion Cannons, a proton torpedo launcher, 2 Senko Systems 5000 "Tru-Lok" laser cannons, a concussion missile launcher, and a Sarylcorp ViX Multiflux Reactor. (ISB, EGV, WOTC)

GAT-12i
This was the second generation of GAT-series Skipray Blastboat. It measured 25 meters in length, with a wingspan of 14.3 meters and a height of 7.2 meters. It was similar in armament and sensor systems to the original GAT-12h, but had an improved Siep-Irol "Omni-Vu" sensor system. (TTSB, EGV)

GAT-12j

Gate
This was the nickname Wedge Antilles gave to his R5 astromech droid, following the droid's memory wipe. It was formerly known as Mynock. (BW)

Gate to the Lands of the Dead, The
According to Yuuzhan Vong mythology, this was the portal through which the living passed when they died. All those who died were sent to the Lands of the Dead, where they were judged by the True Gods. Only those deemed worthy were allowed to remain with the Gods. Those who were deemed unworthy were doomed to roam the Lands of the Dead, never to return to the living nor feel the grace of the Gods. Shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong reformed the planet Coruscant into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar, the Yuuzhan Vong mythology was updated to include a Guardian of the Gate, known as the Ganner or the Jedi Giant, in reference to Ganner Rhysode's stand against the Yuuzhan Vong while protecting Jacen Solo. (T)

Gate, The
This slang term was commonly used in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy to describe the planet Coyn, which was the closest world in the sector to the rest of the galaxy. (PG3)

Gatebeast
This Charon bio-construct was formed from a lifeform which existed on the Charon homeworld centuries ago, but was exterminated by the Charon death cults. The machinations of the gatebeast were not fully understood by the Charon bioscientists, but they managed to program it to perform certain duties. The gatebeast was used as a defensive tool, for it had the ability to control an attacker's position. Any creature targetted by the gatebeast can be "gated" back to a position it occupied a short time before. This seems to be a limited for of teleportation, but the Charon have not fully discovered how the gatebeast performs the movement. (OS)

Gatekeeper
A Jedi Master whose image was stored within a Jedi Holocron, the Gatekeeper was the primary access point for whoever was using the Holocron. (TOJ)

Gates of Grontessiant
According to Skakoan legend, the Gates of Grontessiant were the portal that led to the Threshold of the Hidden Realms, where an individual could find the Eye of the Albino Cyclops. The journey to the Gates of Grontessiant was fraught with danger, and passing through the Gates and over the Threshold of the Hidden Realms could only be accomplished by a truly deserving Skakoan. (VIS)

Gateway
This was one of the many domed cities which sprang up on the surface of the planet Duro, to house refugees fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The dome, like other such refugee cities, was located beneath one of Duro's twenty orbital stations, protected by the planetary shield that contained the station. Gateway was constantly at odds with Settlement Thirty-two, as each dome tried to obtain the other's supplies in an escalating struggle to feed its inhabitants. (BP)

Gateway Space Station
This space station was erected by the Empire in orbit around Tshindral III, although no one ever learned the exact reasons for the choice of location. It was based on the spherical design of the torpedo sphere, with a huge docking ring encircling the station. Many claim that the planet was a tropical paradise before experiments aboard the station went horribly wrong. Whatever the reason, the Empire abandoned the station shortly after its construction and left it adrift. Talandro Starlyte assumed ownership of the station, and began to remodel it for use as a trading post. The Empire returned to reclaim the station, but Starlyte offered to pay the Empire a monthly rent in return for its use as a trading post. The Imperials agreed, provided that a liaison officer remained on the station to monitor its activities, and left Starlyte alone. He also tried to rename the station as Starlyte Station, but the name only stuck with regular patrons. (WSV)

(SWJ4)

Gatherer
This was a version of an asteroid mining vessel that was produced by Slayn & Korpil, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

Gatonne, Yarr
A native of the planet Bonadan and the son of Resh Gatonne, Yarr Gatonne was a bounty hunter who worked in the Testarr Sector during the early years of the New Republic. He learned everything he knew about bounty-hunting from his father. As a mode of operation, Yarr would capture the contacts and friends of his target, interrogate them, then pose as the contact in order to capture his bounty. His only weakness was a fascination with rare and valuable gemstones, and could be lured into a hunt by the possible payment in gemstones. (WBC, GG10)

Gatral
This bounty hunter was one of several who accompanied Crutag to Trinta, in pursuit of a team of Alliance agents they encountered on Kwenn Space Station.

Zsinj knew he wasn't part of the security detail he'd sent to the ship, but Ensign Gatterweld nevertheless took control after the death of Captain Raslan during the ship's flight from Kuat. However, Gatterweld was unable to defend the huge ship from the massed firepower of the Mon Remonda and the Tedevium, and the Razor's Kiss was destroyed. However, Gatterweld was rescued from the destruction and rewarded for his bravery and loyalty to Zsinj. He became part of Zsinj's security force aboard the Iron Fist, and was later assigned to escort Gara Petothel around the ship. Zsinj didn't trust Gara, who recently had been known as Lara Notsil and a member of the New Republic. Gatterweld kept close tabs on her, but was unable to discern her true activities aboard the ship. When she escaped him and released the test subjects of Project Chubar, Gatterweld tried to stop her. The creatures she had released attacked him, but she would not allow them to kill him. He was bound up and left behind. (IF, SOC)

Gatwer
This being was one of the three Besalisk bouncers who were employed by Chieb'Kalla at the Fungus Pit cantina, during the final years of the Old Republic. Note that Twi'light Storm indicates that Gatwer and the other bouncers were members of the Ojom race, although the name actually describes a Besalisk. (TS)

Gauch
One of the many pilots who worked for Lando Calrissian in the asteroid belt known as Lando's Folly, Gauch was one of the first pilots killed when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Dubrillion. His TIE Bomber starfighter was under the protection of Belt-Runner I, but the station sustained heavy damage and was forced to retract shield energy. His ship was left without shields, and destroyed by enemy fire. (VP)

Gauer
This man served under Grand Moff Bartam, during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. He was often employed by the Emperor himself, whenever a mission needed covert, military attention, but he remained faithfully loyal to Bartam. Distinguished by his bald pate the the tattoo that ran from his over his skull, Gauer was a hulking man with a quick temper.

Geddy's fretfulness only increased when the group was contacted by Raze, who had been contacted by his old friend, King Arturo of Orocco.

Gejjen, Dur
The son of Nov Gejjen, this Corellian man was the leader of the Democratic Alliance party, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Like many of his peers in other political faction on Corellia, Gejjen found himself struggling to gain a voice in the government, after Thrackan Sal-Solo reasserted himself as the planetary leader. To this end, Gejjen worked behind the scenes to remove Sal-Solo from power, even as he served as one of Sal-Solo's closest advisors.

It was Gejjen who first warned Han and Leia Solo that Sal-Solo had put a steep bounty on their heads, in an effort to keep them alive long enough to preserve Corellia. When Sal-Solo continued to push for open war against the Galactic Alliance, Gejjen finally took matters into his own hands. He hired Boba Fett to eliminate Sal-Solo, and then sat back to watch events unfold.

In the wake of Sal-Solo's assassination, Gejjen agreed to work with Deputy President Vol Barad to form a coalition government that could work restore Corellia's standing in the galaxy. In an attempt to close the loop on the assassination, Gejjen quickly paid Fett the credits he was due, hoping to clear any audit trail that might lead back to his funding of the mission.

Many Corellians questioned whether or not they were better off with Gejjen, who appeared to be taking control of the system for himself. Public opinion changed greatly after a group of Bothan and Commenorian warships were able to sneak past the blockade of their home system and reach Corellia, where they bombarded the Galactic Alliance's forces and harried them into retreat. Gejjen immediately declared that Corellian forces had "cast off the yoke of Galactic Alliance oppression" with the help of their newfound friends, earning him the admiration of the Corellian masses.

When the Galactic Alliance Guard learned of Gejjen's possible involvement in the attempt on the life of the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka, they launched a secret mission to have him assassinated. Intelligence officers discovered that Gejjen was planning to meet with the GA Chief of State, Cal Omas, to discuss a mutual cessation of hostilities, which also involved the duo dividing up responsibilities and assets in the wake of the conflict. They agreed to meet on Vulpter to iron out the details, even while Gejjen rallied his allies within The Confederation. Unfortunately for Gejjen, Jacen Solo saw the meeting on Vulpter as a double-bonus: he dispatched Ben Skywalker to carry out the assassination, and recorded much of the discussion between Gejjen and Omas to incriminate the GA Chief of State. Skywalker and his comrades recorded the meeting, in which Gejjen requested that Omas eliminate Solo and Admiral Cha Niathal before any agreement could be finalized. With the agreement in place, both men turned to leave the building. As he was leaving, Gejjen was shot in the head and killed by Ben Skywalker, who was hidden in a remote location near the building.

The assassination was later blamed on Corellian ex-patriots, a ruse that was carefully constructed by the GAG, after Jori LeKauf gave his own life to ensure that Skywalker and Lon Shevu were able to escape from Vulpter unseen. In the wake of Gejjen's death, several candidates stepped forward to fill his position, although two were killed within a few months' time. (LF2, LF3, LF4, LF5)

Gejjen, Nov
This Corellian man was one of the minority who refused to join the Human League, during the height of the New Republic. He also hated Thrackan Sal-Solo with a passion, but could find no way to eliminate the power-hungry despot. He passed his anger and frustration along to his son, Dur, who eventually went into politics to help prevent Sal-Solo from gathering more power. Unfortunately, Nov died before his son was named provisional leader of the coalition government that was formed in the wake of Sal-Solo's assassination, an assassination that was funded by Dur himself. (LF2)

Ge'kaan
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word represent a military exercise. (OWS)

Gektl
Native to the planet Hoszh Iszhir, this race of tough, green-skinned reptiloids walked upright. The average Gektl had four digits on each hand and foot, and a scaly, segmented tail. The Gektl had the unique ability to shed their skin and tails when captured. This sudden loss of control allowed the Gektl to escape from its startled captor.

As a people, the Gektls were noted for their artwork and literature. They were best-known for the painted eggs they created, each of which was a unique work of art that depicted an event in the history of their planet. (CSWEA, OWS)

Gekto System
Talon Karrde often had business in this area of the galaxy. (TFNR)

Gekyrdir
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to knock out" or "to incapacitate." (OWS)

Gelagrub
This herbivorous insect was one of the many strange and unusual lifeforms that were native to the planet Felucia. In order to protect itself from the ultraviolet rays of Felucia's sun, larval gelagrubs had a translucent skin that could metabolize certain UV-blocking chemicals found in the native plantlife, which gave the larvae a form of natural sunscreen. However, this meant that larval gelagrubs had to eat constantly, in order to maintain this sunscreen. After mutating through the pupa stage, the gelagrub emerged as a hard-shelled insect. The shell was impregnated with reflective chemicals that completely blocked the incoming sunlight, allowing the adult gelagrub to move about without continually eating. Although technically an insect, the adult gelagrub measured some four meters in length, and moved about on ten stubby legs. The eyes of the gelagrub were placed one atop the other on the head, and were located above a wide, shovel-like mouth. During the height of the Clone Wars, the Gossam colonists who settled on Felucia were able to domesticate the gelagrubs and use them as mounts. Because gelagrubs moved about on twelve stubby legs that were covered with a sticky slime, they were exceptionally sure-footed, even when crawling up walls. (SWDB, SWI84)

Gel-Bath
This was a small, portable version of a bacta tank, that could be used to treat specific injuries. (LCM)

Gel-form
This unusual form of droid was developed and produced during the years following the Swarm War. Each gel-form unit was made from gel and plastoid, giving it the ability to adjust its shape and size. Additionally, gel-form units could be made to appear as if they were made from flesh and bone, making them excellent for target practice at military and hunting firing ranges. While classified as droids, gel-forms lacked any sort of artificial intelligence, and were considered by many to be little more than puppets.

These droids were useful for teaching snipers and big-game hunters about their trade, since the gel-form could be programmed to act like a specific target. Repeated shots could be fired into the gel-form, and it would return to its previous state to be ready for the next shot. The internal power supply wasn't limitless, however, and the droid needed to be recharged after a few hours' usage. (LF5)

Gelgelar
This planet, located in the Outer Rim Territories, was left alone by the Empire. A cold, swampy world, Gelgelar was best known as the site of the Gelgelar Free Port. Gelgelar was also known to be the site of a Shrine of Kooroo. (SWJ8, SWJ13)

Gellack
This Saurton was a member of the Tresycht nation, when Messert Mines Corporation first purchased the rights to the Thergum Pits. Gellack used the alliance with Messert to obtain weapons and backing for his own army, and quickly subjugated the Yiszte nation. Within four years, Gellack had managed to take control of the entire planet of Essowyn. He then established the position of High Priest, a Saurton within each tribe who reported directly to Gellack himself. Over time, this system of government was adapted slightly in order to maintain the control of the High Priests yet continue to have a single planetary government. (PG1)

Gellak, Gunmetal
This was one of the galaxy's most notorious pirates, until he was captured during the early years of the New Republic. (GMR2)

Gellandi, Oora
This young, female Chagrian was living on the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. Like other females of her race, Oora lacked the upper horns that were prominent in her male counterparts, giving her the apperance of a blue-skinned Iktochi. Her lethorns were covered with inlaid rings of various metals and stones, a concession to her vanity. At the age of sixteen, she joined the small gang that was led by Naja Delan, as her own views of the Jedi Knights mirrored those of the male Duros. She believed that the Jedi were better than other beings because of their connection to the Force, which somehow made them better beings.

The group found itself in trouble, just after the onset of the Clone Wars, when Delan stumbled upon the plot to assassinate Gavid Lermyn. (JCT1)

Gellus
This woman worked as a senior civil servant within the Galactic Alliance's Fleet Supply division, during the era of the Corellia-GA War. (LF5)

Gemcutter
This was a form of device that was developed by Carbanti United Electronics during the height of the Clone Wars, although it never saw full production. The gemcutter was used to counteract the effects of a starship that was traveling through hyperspace while cloaked, registering the tear in the space-time continuum like a seismigraph as the cloaked ship reverted to realspace. The gemcutter technology was only in its developmental stages at the time its prototype was stolen - by the Separatists - and production was halted when it turned up missing. (YDR)

GemDiver Station
The name given to Lando Calrissian's corusca gem mining platform in orbit around Yavin. He started the operation around the time that Jaina and Jacen Solo attended the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. The station was decorated with soft colors and artistic optical tubing creating pleasant designs. Soothing music was continually played over the station's comm systems. Lando used heavily-armored mining ships to plunge into Yavin's atmosphere and scrape corsuca gems from the hard core. His ships also employed nets to capture gems that had been extracted by the harsh winds and swept into the atmosphere. The gems were packed in armed hyperspace cargo pods and sent to their destination. (SA)

Geminor
This world, the second planet in the Lianna System, was blanketed with a hot, dense, poisonous atmosphere. It was orbited by a single moon. (ML)

Gemmer
This Alliance pilot helped the Alliance scout the planet Arbra, as a possible location for a new base of operations after the Battle of Hoth. He later flew a TIE Fighter into battle against the Imperial forces on Spindrift, using surprise to take control of the base. Sometime later, Gemmer acquired a stone paperweight on Golrath, which began to pulsate with strange lights and kept Gemmer awake at night. (LTA3, MC55, MC60, MC65)

Gemmie
This woman was married to a Balawai militia officer during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Her husband and his partner, Lou, opted to allow Jedi Master Mace Windu to reach the droid control system located beneath the city of Pelek Baw, on Haruun Kal, so that the Jedi could defeat the Separatist fleet and put an end to the Summertime War. Gemmie was pregnant at the time, with the couple's third child, a situation which led to her husband's decision to acceded to Master Windu. (SHPT)

This Rodian was the proprietor of The Underground, a cantina located below the surface of the moon of Tilnes, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He claimed to be allergic to sunlight, and that exposure to light would make his skin peel away. His skin was constantly covered with a patchwork of light and dark scales, an indicator of the seriousness of his condition. (LFC)

Gen, Meris
This was the name of a noted Rodian bounty hunter. (UANT)

Gen Pop
This was the term used by the personnel aboard an Imperial Prison Barge to describe the area where the general prisoner population was allowed move about with minimal supervision.

Genarik, Dolvan
This was a noted member of the Arkanian race. (UANT)

Genarius
This huge, orange-and-blue gas giant planet was the fourth planet in the Cularin System. Its core was incredibly dense, giving all the properties of a protostar, including the presence of nuclear reactions. These reactions produced two effects. First, the atmosphere of the planet was churned by intense storms. Second, Genarius appeared to glow from within, giving it an eerie appearance to visitors to the system. Despite this incredibly dangerous scenario, Genarius was known to support at least one form of native live, the cochlera. Also, several orbital cities were built by entrepreneurial mining operations as bases from which they harvested some 150 rare gases and nuclear energy for sale. Shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, Genarius was the site of an intense battle between the Cularin military and the forces of the Coalition. The Coalition's primary warship was destroyed in the fighting, when it collided with the city of Tolea Biqua. The resulting explosion created massive instabilities in the atmosphere of Genarius, rendering the planet nearly uninhabitable. (LFC, LFCW)

Gen'Dai
Native to an unspecified planet, this race of humanoids was rarely seen in the galaxy. Those few Gen'Dai encountered away from their homeworld we unusual in a number of respects, not the least of which was their longevity. Some Gen'Dai were known to have lived for 4,000 years or more. The nervous and circulatory systems of a Gen'Dai were highly unusual, and helped the Gen'Dai overcome physical injuries with little effort. Rather than a central nervous system, the Gen'Dai body contained millions of nerve clusters which acted together to act as a central system. This distributed nervous system gave the Gen'Dai incredibly swift reflexes. However, the loss of one or more nodes meant little overall damage, since the remaining clusters simply picked up the work. The circulatory system of the Gen'Dai lacked a heart, using a combination of capillary actions and muscuklar contractions to push blood throughout the body. This allowed a Gen'Dai to be cut many times without bleeding to death, as certain locations could be clamped down with minimal effort. This dIstribution of function allowed the Gen'Dai heal and recover in little or no time, and gave them the ability to slow the aging process. Furthermore, the musculature of the Gen'Dai was composed of independent muscles linked by the distributed nervous system, allowing for the Gen'Dai to extrude knots of muscle as secondary limbs. These muscles were also able to repair themselves rapidly, allowing a severed limb to be reattached almost immediately. The only system which did not benefit from the Gen'Dai's unusual physiology was brain, which deteriorated with age like any other humanoid race.

The galaxy at large was spared any fear of the Gen'Dai because, as a people, the Gen'Dai were simple nomads who were not overly aggressive.The Gen'Dai population was also quite small, as the birth rate was exceptionally low. (SWDB, NEGA)

Gendar
This man was the ostensible leader of the Outcasts, who lived in the poorest sections of the Lower City of Taris some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. When a group of Jedi Knights returned several diaries to Rukil, the elder turned them over to Gendar, hoping that he could piece together enough information to pinpoint the location of the Promised Land. (KOTOR)

Gendarr, Iolan
A native of the planet Commenor, Gendarr served as a Captain in the Imperial Navy, and was in command of the Star Destroyer Reliance during the months following the Battle of Endor. He served under Captain Needa aboard the Avenger before being promoted in the aftermath of the Battle of Hoth. He was soon given command of the Reliance, and ordered to protect the training facility on Jardeen IV. When word of the Imperial defeat at the Battle of Endor reached Jardeen IV, Gendarr fled Jardeen IV with General Arndall Lott before the New Republic could find their facility. (SWJ2, WBC, OWS)

Genden, Lohn
A native of Alderaan, Lohn Genden left the planet at the age of twenty-five, some twenty-one years before the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. In the time before Alderaan's destruction, Genden was believed to have been under the command of Imperial Intelligence, but was unheard of until shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Then, he ambushed a luxury liner and held the passengers hostage while demanding the release of Imperial captives. Emperor Palpatine refused , and Genden destroyed the liner and all 10,000 passengers. Several months after the Battle of Endor, Genden re-appeared and took command of a New Republic military base. He again demanded the release of prisoners being held in Republic prisons, but he was driven off before any further action occurred. He managed to elude capture, and was not seen again. It was believed that he retreated to the moon of Gormdin. (WBC)

(CWWS)

General Crix Madine Military Reserve
This massive complex of orbital hanagers and living quarters was erected in order around Coruscant by the Galactic Alliance, during the years that followed the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Known as Crix Base, the facility was constructed during the fleet reorganization that accompanied the consolidation of the Galactic Alliance's power on Coruscant. The facility was designed to serve as the home base for the Third, Eighth, and Ninth Fleets, as well as the base of operations for the Space Rangers and the Gamma Corps. (LF3)

General Good
This was the set of beliefs held by the Keganites, prior to their joining the Old Republic. Maintained by V-Tan and O-Vieve, the General Good required every Keganite to dedicate themselves to their planet. Everything they did was for the betterment of the General Good, including the virtually complete isolation of the planet from the rest of the galaxy. V-Tan and O-Vieve taught the Keganites that the importing of technology or knowledge was harmful to the General Good. Every member of society was held in equal regard, and every person was considered a member of a single family. It was believed that each Keganite had a Guide Within, which was their spirit and lifeforce, and tied them into the General Good. The General Good wasn't complete unless every Guide Within was united with each other. To indicate a Keganite's dedication to the General Good, each person placed a letter before their given name - a V for men and an O for women - to demonstrate their commitment. The additional letter could only be dropped when two Keganites formed a lifelong bond, and then only in private. (FFT)

General Information Contest
This form of testing, developed at the Leadership School on Andara, involved quizzing a large body of students with questions of a general nature about the galaxy and its political situation. Each student entered the answers to the questions on a personal datapad, and all answers were tallied up by a central computer that was controlled by a professor. The GIC allowed professors to assess the overall progress of a matriculated class, and could also help place incoming students into proper classrooms. (JQ5)

General Marshoo's Eatery

General Ministry
This body ran the day-to-day business of the New Republic. It was formed after the dissolution of the Provisional Council, in an effort to to ensure that the non-military aspects of the government were duly addressed. It had the responsibility for handling the ministry of the government, finance, commerce, security and intelligence, and science and education. Many well-respected universities, including the Obroan Institute for Archaeology and the Kellmer Institute of Galactic History, were directly funded by the General Minsitry. (SOL, CTD)

(E3N)

General's Quarters
This was the simple name given to the operations center maintained by General Grievous aboard the Invisible Hand. Unknown to the few beings who entered the General's Quarters was that it bore a striking resemblance to the offices of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine on Coruscant, down to the chair in which Palpatine was shackled during the First Battle of Coruscant. (VD3)

Generations III
This was the brand name of a self-contained power generator used by the Empire to power their remote communications centers. (SOP)

Generet
This Imperial agent was an average human being until the Empire discovered Calamari. Then, he gave himself to the Emperor, and had his appearance surgically altered so that he resembled a Mon Calamari. The disguise was nearly complete, except for the fact that his human internals were not altered. He served as part of COMPNOR's Destabilization branch. (DU)

Generis
The primary planet in the Generis system, Generis was known as the site of the signing of the Treaty of Generis which bound the Atrivis Resistance Group to the Alliance. It later server as an Outer Rim communications center for the New Republic, which was destroyed just prior to the Battle of Bilbringi. It was located in the Atrivis Sector. Much of the planet was dominated by dense jungles, and several ruins found within them have revealed the existence of an extinct alien culture. The Republic decided to rebuild the communications center on Generis, linking it to the outpost on Esfandia to form a redundant link to the Unknown Regions. The Yuuzhan Vong, during their invasion of the galaxy, destroyed much of the planet's surface, eliminating one of the Republic's major communications hubs. This action left Esfandia as the only remaining communications center servicing the Unknown Regions. (RASB, TLC, TTSB, FH3)

GeneSculpt
This was one of the galaxy's foremost genetic research companies, during the final years of the Old Republic. (RC66)

Genesia
This planet was the second and primary world of the Genesia System, located in Brak Sector. Its location made it a destination for many of the spacers of the sector, and a variety of races from across the galaxy passed through Genesia on their way to other destinations. Many independent spacers believed that the planet was just plain lucky, since there were very few accidents among the multitude of starships jumping to and from Genesia each day. Most of Brak Sector's crimelords established based on Genesia, since the corrupt government held no real power and could be easily bribed. Genesia was orbited by a collection of space stations known as G-Stations, as well as the moons of Laut and Gimm. (HR, FBS)

Genesia
This yellow star was the primary body of the Genesia System of Brak Sector. (FBS)

Genet

see GeneTech Laboratories (NEGW)

GeneTech Laboratories
This corporation owned the rights to the entire Gorsh System, working in orbiting laboratories to discover new biochemical products. During the height of the New Order, GeneTech sued the Geentech Corporation for copyright infringement, citing that the corporate name had been used without permission. Genetech won the court battle, forcing Geentech out of business and acquiring control of their operations. Many business analysts believed that GeneTech had the backing of the Empire during the legal battle, having given the Empire deep discounts and trade preferences in return for political clout. (FOP, FTD)

GeneTech Syndicate
This freelance team of genetics researcher and development teams was based on the planet Nubia, and was aligned with the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Much of their work was considered radical and dangerous, and was based on the use of unusual predators found in the galaxy. (SWGAL)

Genetic Slicer
This was a tool that was created by the Yuuzhan Vong for accessing locked bio-technology. Using a genetic slicer, a Shaper could open a qhsa that had been sealed shut, and could only be opened by the presence of its owner's genetic codes. (FP)

Genian
This violet-skinned alien race, noted for its skills in diplomacy, was native to the planet Genian. (SOJ)

Genian
This planet was one of just a few that managed to remain completely neutral during the Clone Wars, a fact that had as much to do with the diplomatic skills of the native Genians as it did the planet's lack of strategic importance. Much of the planet' surface was given over to corporations, research laboratories, and financial institutions, although many areas of desert remained undeveloped. (SOJ)

Geniserian Sand Monkey
This unusual, simian creature was often hunted for its tasty flesh, which was served flambeed with foyve' oil as part of a gourmet recipe. (CN2)

Genius Womp Rat
Popular rumor during the height of the Galactic Civil War held that there existed a highly-evolved, intelligent subspecies of womp rats, known as genius womp rats, in the deep deserts of Tatooine. Very few beings ever claimed to encounter the genius womp rat, and none was ever able to bring back a live specimen. Among the most notable rumors was that of a rogue, Mon Calamari scientist who was hired by a Hutt crimelord to genetically alter womp rats. Some escaped, and managed to remain viable in the wild. Another simply claimed that the "genius" womp rat was simply a smarter individual whose exploits were blown out of proportion. All these stories were never corroborated by actual evidence, and so the existence of the genius womp rat remained something of an "urban" legend on Tatooine. (WOTC)

Genkal
This Mon Calamari served the New Republic as the Captain of the MC80A cruiser, Naritus. Following the breakup of the Starbuster Plot, Genkal was planning to step down from his command and allow his chief duty officer, Bril Parry, to assume command. (CTD)

GenoHaradan Assassin Guild
This guild of hired killers was active some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, during the era of the Great Sith War. The GenoHaradan Assassin Guild was quite secretive, and very few beings even knew that they existed, let alone how much of an influence they had on the rest of the galaxy. The GenoHaradan guild admitted beings of any race and skill set, further adding to the mystery surrounding the guild. Individual members of the guild refused to acknowledge their true alliance, so it was hard to know when a GenoHaradan assassin was working in a given location. (KOTOR, SWMW)

GenoHaradan Mesh Armor
This form of woven armor plating was used as body armor by the members of the Genoharadan Assassin Guild during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

This lonely world was situated close to several major hyperspace trade routes, but it remained unobtrusive as the base of operations for Grappa the Hutt. (CE2)

Gensang
An alien race which was part of the Trade Federation of the Old Republic. (RP)

Gentes
A planet located in the Anoat System, Gentes was home to the Ugnaught race. The planet was barely liveable, and most of the Ugnaughts move offworld to Cloud City. During the decades leading up to the Battle of Ruusan, Gentes was the site of a minor Sith training academy, where Sith Warriors and Sith Marauders were trained for battle. (MTS, WOA33, DBPD)

Gentian
This was the term used to describe any being who was native to the planet Gentes. (SWGG)

Gentik
This computer systems manufacturer was known for its advanced droid brain designs and storage systems. (CRO)

This was the term used by Palleus Chuff to describe one of the many facial expressions used by Jedi Master Yoda. Chuff was a noted actor whose portrayal of Yoda in Jedi! made him famous across the galaxy. (YDR)

Gentleman Caller
Tendra Risant's slow, out-dated Corellian runabout. She had had limited spaceflight experience, but she took the ship into the interdicted Corellian System to warn Lando about the Human League's plans. (AS)

Gentleman Gil
This was one of nicknames used by the military personnel of the Galactic Alliance to describe Gilad Pellaeon, used after he retired from active duty at the height of the war between the GA and The Confederation. (LF8)

Gentleman Pirate
This nickname was given to Beyla Rus, because he never allowed his band of pirates to kill anyone. Their weapons were always set on stun. (WBC)

Gentler Rod
This was a form of double-strength stun baton, often favored by Hutts and slavers because of their ease of use in subduing another being. (WOTC, T)

Genue
This Imperial freighter was used to carry prisoners of war to the Imperial detention center on Mytus VII. It was captured and boarded by the Alliance shuttle Drago, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Geo
This was another name for the Geonosian race, native to the planet Geonosis. (BF1)

Geober
This smuggler was known in criminal circles as a quick thinker and a double-crosser. He once challenged a group of freelance agents to a starship race deep in Imperial space. He had rigged the course with traps and ambushes, but was exposed for the fraud he truly was, and the agents took possession of his ship. (GMS)

Geologist's Guide to Planetary Surfaces, The
This was a textbook written during the Old Republic, and described the basic make-up of the various kinds of planets and moons. (SWJ2)

Geonosian
This insectile alien race was native to the planet Geonosis. Having evolved in the harsh environment of the planet, the Geonosians' hive-based society grew into a rigid caste system that defined a specific hierarchy that could not be broken: the queen and the aristocrats, the warriors, and the drones. The average Geonosian was an avian humanoid with leathery skin and insectile features. The queen and the aristocrats had two thin wings that sprouted from each shoulder, and provided the primary means of locomotion for the Geonosian. Their hands and feet ended in three digits, and their legs had two joints each. Their triangular heads were dominated by a group of thick tendrils that hung from their chins.

The warrior caste was divided into two distinct groups, the soldiers and the pilots. Despite the presence of the warrior caste, the Geonosians maintained no standing armies, and simply fought to defend their hives as necessary.

Those Geonosians that could fly considered themselves to be superior to their earthbound brethren, the wingless drones. The largest portion of the Geonosian population was made up of these simple drones, who were capable of doing excessive amounts of work with little or no supervision. The drones filled three separate subclasses within their hives: servants, farmers, and laborers.

As a people, Geonosians were efficient workers, combining their own ingenuity with vast amounts of automation to quickly produce moderate technology. For many centuries before the Battle Geonosis, Geonosians found a wealth of buyers for their products, especially droids, but as the Old Republic crumbled, many of their former customers opted to buy from more local or cosmopolitan worlds. All but a few of the Geonosian factories were abandoned, until Darth Sidious financed Poggle the Lesser's rise to power. Then, Count Dooku and the Separatists made a deal with the Geonosians to produce millions of battle droids, precipitating the onset of the Clone Wars.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, Geonosian factories were forced to shut down large portions of their operations, as battle droids were no longer needed or allowed. The population languished for many years, until much of the population was absorbed in the Colony. (SWI60, TCG1, IWE2, GORW, NEGA)

Geonosian
This was the native language of the Geonosian race. (UANT)

Geonosian Aristocrat
This was the middle caste of Geonosian society, considered better than the drones but only comprising five percent of the total population. The aristocrats ruled Geonosian society, and even commanded the queen's activities. Members of the aristocracy were distinguished by their wings, and elderly members also had drooping wattles that hung from their chins. (GORW)

Geonosian Containment Field
This unusual security system was developed by the Geonosian race to hold prisoners in a form of stasis, without the need for active guards. The system had two generators, one on the floor and one overhead. Within each generator was a glowing orb filled with circuitry, that generated magentic energy of opposite polarity, thereby creating a huge "magnetic bottle" to contain the victim. Special wrist and ankle cuffs were placed on the victim to focus the magnetic energy through the victim, keeping the being suspended in mid-air, exactly half-way between the two orbs. What was unusual about the Geonosian containment field was its ability to trap and control even a Jedi Knight. Count Dooku discovered that the magentic field flowing between the two orbs would disrupt certain brainwaves, and among them, the victim's connection to the Force. It was for this reason that he had Obi-Wan Kenobi secured in a containment field, just prior to the Battle of Geonosis. (NEGW)

Geonosian Corvette
This corvette was designed and built by the Geonosians, for the use of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Like most other Geonosian designs, the corvette had a bronze-colored hull and a pointed nose that split into a pair of mandibles. (SWI65)

Geonosian Defense Platform
This was the heavy artillery platform developed by the Geonosians to defend their hives. Each platform was armed with standard blaster cannons and Geonosian sonic weapons, all of which were aimed with the help of a sophisticated targeting computer. Each of these platforms was operated by two Geonosian soldiers. (NEGW)

Geonosian Drill
This unusual tool used sonic energy to drill through rock and stone. Many criminal organizations also used the Geonosian drill as a devastating weapon, causing intense damage to flesh and bone. This use of the tool was strictly outlawed in many systems. (SWGAL)

Geonosian Drone
This was the name given to the lowliest members of Geonosian society. These Geonosians moved about on all-fours, and their claws were often covered with toxic substances from moving about the manufacturing facilities. The drones made up some nintey-five percent of the population, but were subservient to the queen and the aristocrats. There were also distinct subcastes of the drones, including the winged soldiers, the wingless workers, the more intelligent pilots, farmers, overseers, laborers, and makers. Although their society forced them into lesser roles, Geonosian drones regularly tried to better their positions by competing in the gladiator arenas, hoping to earn their way into the aristocracy by defeating many other combatants. (LAWS, GORW)

Geonosian Elite
This was the name given to the finest warriors among the Geonosian race. Individual members wielded a unique weapons system that actually utilized bioenergetic fluids that were drawn from the warrior's arms. The entire weapons system was worn on the warrior like a suit of combat armor. (LAWS)

Geonosian Fighter
This twin-hulled, needle-shaped fighter craft was designed and developed by the Geonosians. Manufactured by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective, the Geonosian Fighter was officially designated as the Nantex-class Territorial Defense Starfighter. (X2)

Geonosian Geode
This was one of the most valuable geodes found in the galaxy. (CN1)

Geonosian Hydra
This immense reptile was native to the planet Geonosis. Many considered the Geonosian hydra to be the stuff of legend brought to life, as there were many planets throughout the galaxy with myths of a creature that closely resembled it. The hydra was a long-bodied reptile that was easily distinguished by its three immense heads, each of which was protected by a thick plate of bone. The beaked mouth of each head was protected by a claw-tipped mandible, which was also used to draw its prey into its maw. Each head was located at the end of a flexible neck, allowing the hydra to search for food in tunnels and caves. The hydra moved about on six claw-tipped legs, and it could cover short distances swiftly by using its vestigial wings. By the time of the New Order, many Geonosian hydras had been killed by the native Geonosians, both for protection and for sport, as these creatures were sometimes seen in the battle arenas of the Geonosian people. (CCW, UA)

Geonosian Industries
This corporate entity was formed by the major manufacturing operations based on the planet Geonosis, during the era of the Clone Wars. By uniting under a single corporation, the various hives and guilds gained a stronger foothold in the galactic marketplace, allowing them to earn a position of strength on the Council of Separatists. (CHRN2)

Geonosian Massiff
This was a species of immense, predatory reptile that was native to the planets Geonosis and Tatooine. Massiffs were considered a symbol of authority by the Geonosian aristocracy, who kept domesticated massiffs as pets. These massiffs also patrolled the colony's dwellings, eradicating vermin in exchange for the protection of living inside the caves. The average massiff grew a pair of spike-like antlers each year, until a ring of these spikes protected their skulls. (SWI60, VD2, NEGA)

Geonosian Queen
This was the sexual female of the Geonosian species. Very few beings ever saw the Geonosian Queen, and even fewer lived to tell about it. The Queen was unlike the male drones of the species in almost ever aspect. Where the males are bipeds creatures, the Queen was a huge, bulbous individual whose body was dominated by its egg-producing ovaries. The torso of the Queen sat at one end of this body, and was vaguely similar to the male Geonosian form. Two arms and two legs sprouted from the torso, although the legs were useless for moving the Queen around. The head of the Queen was heavier than that of the males, and was crowned by a bony plate that fanned outward from the crown of the skull, giving the appearance of a massive headdress. Because few non-Geonosians ever saw the Geonosian Queen, it was unknown if there was a single Queen that produced all male Geonosians, or if there were individual Queens for each hive. Rumors and urban legends held that the Geonosian Queen controlled the actions of all males through a hive-mind connection, and that this connection was said to exist even after the death of a male. These legends were proven to have some basis fact during the Clone Wars, when Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Luminara Unduli came face-to-face with Queen Karina. Queen Karina had discovered a way to use brain worms to control her minions, giving her the ability to direct their actions from great distances. The brain worms kept their hosts alive, even when the body was badly damaged. (CWTV29)

Geonosian Queen
This immense, immobile Geonosian was the only female of its species, and the heart of a Geonosian hive. A mature queen was hidden deep belowground, behind several layers of guards and warriors, where she laid the egg clusters of future generations. Understanding that the queen was the vitally important, most Geonosian hives maintained backup queens in a form of jelly-filled hibernation cell, but it took years for a new queen to mature. Thus, protection of the mature queen was the highest priority in any hive. (GORW)

Geonosian Speeder Bike
This was the form of speederbike produced by the Geonosians during the last decades of the Old Republic. These bullet-shaped speederbikes were controlled by foot pedals and a retractable set of handlebars. (NEGV)

Geonosis
An inhospitable planet located less than a parsec from Tatooine, Geonosis was the homeworld of the Geonosian race. The surface of the planet was a desert, dominated by reddish sand and dust which was produced by regular meteor impacts. The high metallic content of the sands, coupled with the intense radiation storms that swept the planet's atmosphere, made communications near the planet difficult.

Geonosis was ringed by several belts of asteroids and orbital debris, making the reddish planet appear quite lovely from space. These asteroids - formed when one of the planet's moons was struck by a two-kilometer-wide comet - continually fell to the planet's surface, causing massive groundshakes and depositing large amounts of ores in the sand. In the decades after the impact, Geonosis itself was pelted almost constantly, and it was estimated that ninety-nine percent of the planet's lifeforms - both plant and animal - were wiped out in a massive, planetary extinction.

Only the hardiest and most tenacious species survived, most of them insectile, and these were further weeded out by smaller impacts. The survivors proved to be some of the most ruthless and predatory species in the galaxy, including the Geonosians themselves. Despite the high metal content of the planet's crust, the gravity on Geonosis was slightly less than standard. The planet was orbited by four major and eleven minor moons. (SWI60, BF1, SWDB, SWI62, SWI66, IWE2, GORW, NEGA)

Geonosis Arena Acklay-Rider
This was one of the many attractions found at Aucellis Park, on the moon of Keriba VI, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (WOA27)

Geonosis Square
This was one of the many tactics developed by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. For most of that battle, the clone troopers were severely outnumbered by battle droids of all kinds, forcing them to improvise on ways to survive the fighting. The Geonosis Square was a defensive tactic in which four or more troopers arranged themselves in such a way that they minimized the impact of both aggressive and defensive fire. It was virtually impossible to penetrate unless fire was concentrated on a single individual. (TCD)

Geonosis System
This Outer Rim star system orbited the star Ea, and contained the planet Geonosis. (GORW)

Geor-Dan-Thi
This green-scaled Tiss'sahr served as the vice president of his homeworld's government, during the height of the New Order. He was appointed to serve on the Tiss'sharl League just after the Battle of Yavin, and Geor-Dan-Thi rose quickly through the ranks of government to the position of vice preseident in the wake of several key assassinations, including that of Astre-De-Kay. Although it was never publicly discussed, most Tiss'shar realized that Geor-Dan-Thi was probably behind the assassinations. For his own part, Geor-Dan-Thi did nothing to draw attention to himself, and often remarked that he was happy that his "constituents" thought enough of his leadership to murder those of greater rank. Geor-Dan-Thi was then surprised when president Si-Di-Ri resigned from office, shortly after his relationship with Senator Timi Rotramel was discovered by Darth Vader. Geor-Dan-Thi was named the new president, but he found himself unexpected immerse in the greater intrigue of the Empire itself. (SWEPP)

George R. Binks
According to a humorous story that appeared on the HoloNet during the years following the Battle of Naboo, George R. Binks was the embattled father of Jar Jar Binks. A noted sailor and whale hunter who was a brave as any Gungan who ever lived, George seemed to have been cursed with an inept son. No matter how hard he tried, George couldn't get Jar Jar to change his ways. On one trip, Jar Jar allowed a sea creature to swamp their ship, and the pair was stranded on a desert island, along with the only other survivor, George's wife. He dreamed of ways to getting rid of Jar Jar and his immature outlook, but Mrs. Binks thwarted his every attempt. As the story unfolded, it was revealed that George had turned down the love of Sheebla to marry Mrs. Binks, since Sheebla was unable to bear him a son. Thus, it was ironic that George's only son turned out to be Jar Jar. (T20)

Gep
This was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)

Gep, Norun
This young Whiphid went into business with Fillin Ta to start up Gep's Grill in Mos Eisley. They made a number of arrangements with nig-game hunters to purchase dewback and bantha meat at pre-arranged rendezvous points on the outskirts of Mos Eisley. Gep was also in business with Omon Gantrum, with a stake in Spaceport Express, although Gep was unaware of Gantrum's connections with Lady Valarian. (GG7)

Gep, Nuron
see Norun Gep (UANT)

Gepparin
This planet was the primary world of the Gepparin System, located in the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy. Although Gepparin was home to a few agricultural settlements, tt was known as one of the sector's primary mining worlds. It was believed that the BloodScar Pirates maintained a base on the planet, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Investigation by Daric LaRone and his fellow stormtroopers revealed that the BloodScars had not only established a base on Gepparin, but had also managed to take control of the mining operations about two years before the Battle of Yavin.

The planet itself was dark and cold, orbiting a red star that was one of three stars in its system. The other stars, one yellow and one blue-white, were too far away to add much light. (A)

Gepparin Landing Control
Although this was the primary traffic control force on the planet Gepparin, much of its ranks were filled by BloodScar Pirates, during the height of the New Order. (A)

Gep's Grill
Located behind Lup's General Store in Mos Eisley, this restaurant was owned by Norun Gep and Fillin Ta, two enterprising young Whiphids. They have worked out arrangements with many of Tatooine's hunters to purchase the dewback and bantha meat brought out of the desert. (GG7)

Gepta, Rokur
This Croke was believed to have been the last surviving Sorcerer of Tund, although no one was aware of it when he surfaced in the Rafa System many years before the Clone Wars. At nearly twenty thousands years of age, Gepta was already an ancient lifeform when he appeared on Tund, asking to join the Sorcerers. He was the best student they could have asked for, soaking up knowledge like a sponge. However, Gepta secretly hated his instructors, and allowed them to believe he was nothing more than a gifted student. When he continued beyond the basic knowledge of the Sorcerers of Tund and learned more than the teaching Sorcerers did, Gepta struck out and destroyed the brotherhood. In doing so, he reduced the planet Tund to a burned-out ball of ash using a very specialized lifeform. He then continued to spread rumors and stories about the Tund Sorcerers, to keep them shrouded in mystery as he began collecting power. In keeping with the legends of the Sorcerers of Tund, Gepta concealed his true form in dense wrappings of gray cloth, the color of which very closely matched the color of the ashes of Tund. He wore a large, turban-like wrapping on his head, revealing only his eyes. If he were ever seen without these wrappings, Gepta would have appeared as the Croke he was, a twelve-legged slug capable of modifying its appearance as it saw fit. One of Gepta's first goals was to recover the Mindharp of the Sharu race, believing it to be a device that could be used to control the minds of other individuals. When Lando Calrissian foiled his attempt to obtain the Mindharp, Gepta began plotting his own personal revenge on Calrissian. When Lando foiled his assassination attempt on Oseon 5792, Gepta became more enraged, and stepped up his attempts to kill Calrissian. Gepta nearly caught Lando at the StarCave, but was told that the Millennium Falcon had been destroyed in a battle with the Imperial Navy. His anger at having been deprived of causing Lando's death was short-lived, as the smuggler was found assisting the Oswaft. Gepta then threatened to destroy the StarCave and all the Oswaft with the same lifeform he used to destroy Tund, unless Lando agreed to a duel. At the mouth of the ThonBoka, the two adversaries struggle for awhile before Lando was able to shoot Gepta's enlarged form with his stingbeam. This forced Gepta to return to his normal Croke state, at which point much of his sorcerer's wrapping fell from his body. Lando then grabbed Gepta's slug-like body and squeezed it until it ruptured. (LCM, LCF, LCS, NEGC)

Geptun
This was one of the many nomadic Korunnai tribes, known as ghosh, which were native to the planet Haruun Kal. (SHPT)

Geptun, Lorz
This near-human male was one of the most powerful members of the Balawai society on Haruun Kal, during the height of the Clone Wars. He was distinguished by his bluish, translucnet skin and his aluminum-colored hair. Despite his Balawai allegiance, Geptun's grandfather was actually a Korun. Because Geptun wanted to appear more powerful than he was, he simply ignored this fact when discussing his lineage with others. However, something of his Korunnai heritage remained in Geptun, as evidenced by the fact that he kept the name of the ghosh. When Mace Windu arrived on Haruun Kal to locate Depa Billaba, Geptun had him captured and brought in for questioning. Despite the obvious reward being offered by the Separatists for the capture of a Jedi, Geptun really wanted to eliminate the guerilla threat posed by Master Billaba. After accepting a bribe of 3,000 credits from Windu, Geptun allowed him to go free, provided that he locate and remove Billaba. Unknown to Master Windu, Geptun had taken his lightsaber and placed a transmitter inside the handle, hoping that the Jedi would lead him to the heart of the Upland Liberation Front. Windu discovered the transmitter only after located Master Billaba, and sent his militia into the mountains to destroy them. Geptun believed that he had finally defeated the Jedi and won the freedom of the Balawai, until Master Windu launched an unexpected assault on Pelek Baw, in an effort to reach the Separatists' droid control center. Instead of accepting the Jedi's surrender, Geptun was captured and forced to surrender to Master Windu. Geptun then turned over the codes to the droid control system, allowing the forces of the Old Republic to defeat the Separatist forces. With the end of the Summertime War at hand, Geptun decided to enlist with the Army of the Republic. With a letter of recommendation from Master Windu, Geptun gladly accepted a posting with the Intelligence division.

Geptun served the Republic for several years, until the formation of the Galactic Empire. Then, after discovering some of the truths about the Jedi Rebellion and the early years of Imperial rule, Geptun retired from the Imperial Intelligence bureau and took up the life of a freelance information broker. He eventually decided to join the Alliance, knowing that any government the Alliance established would allow him more ability to return to his job in the private sector without much government scrutiny. More than a year after the Battle of Endor, Geptun was hired by the Judicial Service of the New Republic, investigating any potential problems or impacts as new laws were being enacted and old laws were being removed. It was during this time that Luke Skywalker asked Geptun to investigate the events surrounding the Alliance's victory at the Battle of Mindor, hoping that Geptun's ability to find the truth would help paint a more accurate picture of the events. He had been given Geptun's name by Nick Rostu, which was surprising enough. Geptun was even more surprised when Skywalker asked that his investigation be carried out as if it were being done for a war crimes trial, and that the being on trial was Skywalker himself. Geptun accepted the assignment, if only to help Skywalker shed any demons he was carrying because of the events at Mindor.

After months of investigations and interviews, Geptun finally was able to present his report to Skywalker. He was surprised when Skywalker flung the report back in his face, claiming that it was garbage that was only worthy of becoming the script for a cheap holothriller. Geptun was then forced to admit that he had written the report that way on purpose, since he had planned to sell the rights to the story to the entertainment industry. Geptun revealed that he had been offered ten times the salary Skywalker had paid him for the story, and had signed him on to write two more stories in the Luke Skywalker Adventures series. However, despite the way that the story ended up, Geptun stood by most of the facts he had discovered about the Battle of Mindor. A few things had been included to make the story more exciting, Geptun admitted, since Skywalker needed to be seen by the galaxy as a true hero. Luke agreed that the story might help change the perception of him that stemmed from other holothrillers like Luke Skywalker and the Jedi's Revenge, but asked that Geptun eliminate some things that simply weren't true. (SHPT, LSSM)

Geran
A planet in the Mneon System (TJP)

Geran
This city, located on the planet Garos IV, was the site of a grain processing facility. When the facility was destroyed, it sparked a civil war between Garos IV and its neighbor, Sundari. The war lasted 82 years before a truce was signed. (SWJ5)

Gerarre, Shayne
This Cerean male, an employee of the Spirited Spirits shop in the city of Hedrett, was a native of the planet Cularin. Shayne was known to the general populace of Hedrett and Gadrin as the creator of the Double-Dip Outer Rim Rumdrop, the specialty drink that made Spirited Spirits famous. He was later discovered to have been one of the original members of the underground resistance that sprang up on Cularin, after the Metatheran Cartel began taking control of the planet's trade. (EOS2)

Gerb
A primitive, mammalian race native to Yavin 13, the Gerbs were known to be peaceful beings. They were humanoid in form though short in stature, standing at most a meter tall with short arms and long legs. A downy fur covered their bodies, and their claws were metallic in compositon, to help them dig through the rocky ground for roots. A long tail helped the Gerb to balance. They were known for their speed and for their keen sense of hearing. The ears of a Gerb were one-fourth the being's overall height, and were effective at radiating excess body heat. In addition to the Gerbese language, the Gerbs learned the Slithian language over time, as a sort of survival mechanism. The Gerbs were also immune to the venom of the Slith. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Yavin 13 was devastated by the alien invaders, and the Gerb civilization was exterminated. (GG2, PH, GORW)

Gerbaud 2
A planet in the Sepan Sector. The Imperial escort carrier Tropsobor delivered a number of TIE Advanced prototypes to the Protector there. (TIE)

Gerbese
This was the native language of the Gerb species. (PH)

Gerd
This hulking man worked as a cortosis miner on Apatros, working for the Outer Rim Oreworks company during the decades leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. He tried to challenge Dessel for control of a rich vein of cortosis ore, but only after getting good and drunk, and waiting until Des was at the end of a long day of exertion. Des, however, drew upon his anger and managed to bite off one of Gerd's thumbs. Gerd fell to the ground in pain, and was forced to concede the fight to Des. As punishment, Des was given an unpaid leave of absence until Gerd was fully healed. (OWS, DBPD)

Gerdy
This Imperial officer served at the outpost on Spindrift, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Gerdy and the rest of the personnel on Spindrift were captured by Alliance forces, which used a flight of stolen TIE Fighters to get close enough to the base to destroy it. (LTA3, MC60)

Geredi
This male Duros made his home on Nar Shaddaa during the years following the Mandalorian Wars, and spent a great deal of his free time playing pazaak. (KOTOR2)

Geref
This disgusting-looking food product came packaged in small lumps. It was noted as an additive to pure vosh, as it served to add to the alcohol's flavor and color. When exposed to the air, geref tended to sublime and dissipate, changing into a vaporous form. The use of geref-laden vosh in many mixed drinks created concoctions that were almost as much fun to watch as they were to drink, as the dissolving geref creating a small storm of bubbles in the liquid. (PM)

Gerevick
This rude, gruff-mannered man lived on the Khoonda Plains of Dantooine during the years following the Jedi Civil War. He was one of the many salvagers who mvoed across the grasslands, looking for anything of value left behind in the wake of the destruction of the Jedi Enclave on the planet. Gerevick, however, was not above criminal acts to get his hands on a valuable claim, and often forged documents or killed other salvagers outright in order to obtain their goods. Gerevick himself was killed when he tried to attack The Exile and his party, who had discovered a wealth of information within the Jedi Enclave. When they refused to part with their findings, Gerevick and his thugs attacked them. The Exile and his group were forced to kill them in order to protect their findings. (KOTOR2)

Gergeroe, Selnia
This former Captain's assistant transferred from her post aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer because of friction between herself and her commander. She took a position as an Imperial customs agent on Byblos, but found that she was taken for granted because she was a female officer. A loyal supporter of the Empire, Gergeroe was nonetheless reasonable to the spacers who landed at Byblos, demanding that their paperwork be legitimate and in order but giving slack where she felt it was needed. (PSPG)

Gergris
This Imperial Moff was in charge of the Halthor Sector during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ2)

Gerhalt III
This planet was discovered by Duros explorers during the early centuries of the Old Republic. The appearance of the Duros helped avoid direct war that had been building as part of the Vinth Conflict. (GMR2)

Geric
This young man, a native of Coruscant, was an early member of COMPNOR. Shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, Geric introduced Jodd to COMPNOR, unaware that the young man was actually the Jedi Padawan Drake Lo'gaan. (EAR)

Geridard
This was the primary planet in the Geridard System, located in the Doldur Sector. It was the site of a renowned retirement complex, which was rumored to have the best life-long care in the galaxy. Many corporate officials and other affluent individuals spend their twilight years on this world. Augusta I'att was scheduled to go to the Geridard Convalescent Center for treatment of her degenerative disorder when she was executed by Moff Kerioth. (TFE)

Geridard Convalescent Center
This medical facility, located on the planet Geridard, was known for its ability to reduce or eliminate the effects of degenerative diseases. (TFE)

Gerido, Lobb
This Twi'lek served as Jabba the Hutt's valet during the time Jabba learned the business from his uncle, Jiliac. Jabba verbally abused the Twi'lek at every opportunity. (THG)

Geriel
This man was one of the many beings who lived in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, following the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. Geriel became gravely ill while staying on Nar Shaddaa, and only the timely intervention of The Exile was able to save him. The Exile drew on the power of the Force to heal Geriel. (KOTOR2)

Geril
This unusual alien race was barely sentient, and was often subjugated by the Hutts. Gerils had the ability to clean the flesh of a Hutt, consuming the slime and bacteria that lived on a Hutt's thick skin. (APS)

Gerin
This Tammuz-an princess, the daughter of Lord Toda, was held captive by Gir Kybo Ren-Cha, during the early years of the New Order, after he escaped from prison and fled to the moon of Bodgen. It was Lord Toda who had assumed control of Tammuz-an after the crown-prince Mon Julpa was lost. When Mon Julpa returned and began negotiating with Toda for peace, Kybo Ren's pirates attacked Tammuz-an and kidnapped Gerin. Jann Tosh and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, traveled to Bodgen with Jess Meade, in an effort to rescue Gerin. Their mission was successful, and Gerin was returned to her father on Tammuz-an. (DCAR, SWDB)

Gerind
This man was an assistant to Airen Cracken, during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ15)

Geris VI
This planet was one of the first worlds to outlaw drinking among Mandalorian mercenaries, especially those who had been hired by the planetary government. (RCTC)

Geriss
This airless ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Geonosis System. It was orbited by a single moon. (GORW)

Gerkin, Doke
This was a Skrilling individual, distinguished in the history of Agriworld-2079. (UANT)

Gerlun
This feral humanoid was one of the many that were living in Andeddu's Keep, on the planet Prakith, during the years that followed the Sith-Imperial War. Gerlun, like his brother, Demtri, was born within the Keep, and he had been exposed to the Dark Side energy that permeated its walls since before his birth. These beings believed themselves to be Sith, they lacked any real training or mastery of the Force, although they did wield red-bladed lightsabers. Gerlun and Demtri were among the first group of feral beings to try and stop Darth Wyyrlok from entering the Keep, when the Sith Lord arrived at Prakith in order to locate the tomb of Darth Andeddu. Gerlun and the others were thwarted when Darth Wyyrlok used the Force to project multiple images of himself, each of which seemed to be ready to attack. One by one, Wyyrlok killed the feral humanoids, including Demtri, until only Gerlun was left. Wyyrlok then commanded him to lead the way to Andeddu's crypt, and Gerlun was powerless to disobey. However, rather than blindly obey the interloper, Gerlun did his best to play dumb, and pretended to have no idea how to pass beyond the final portal at the lowest level of the tomb. Wyyrlok was carrying Andeddu's Holocron, however, and forced the gatekeeper to utter the proper words to open the portal. Once inside the tomb itself, Wyyrlok gave Gerlun menial chores and verbally abused him, claiming that Gerlun would be unable to read his own name, let alone Sith scrolls. When Wyyrlok was distracted, Gerlun grabbed Andeddu's Holocron and placed it on the Sith Lord's corpse, completing the spell that Andeddu had laid on his dead body millennia earlier. Rather than re-animating the corpse, however, Andeddu's essence possessed Gerlun's body, destroying his own essence and taking over the body that was left behind. Wyyrlok later defeated Andeddu, destroying Gerlun's body and Andeddu's Holocron in wave after wave of Dark Side energy. (SWLIC)

Gerom
This man was the Imperial Prefect of the planet Namore, during the height of the New Order. It was rumored that he was paying Dasar Zorm for illicit work, but nothing was ever proven. (HR)

Geroon
This alien race, supposedly native to a planet in the Unknown Regions located near Crustai, was known to be playful and amusing, and they went out of their way to ensure that their children were able to play whenever they wanted to. The Geroons were believed to have been exterminated by the Vagaari, based on the realization that Bearsh and his companions posed as Geroons in order to gain access to the Chiss-led mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight project. However, it was later revealed that Bearsh and his companions were the Vagaari, a fact that Chiss Aristocra Formbi had been hoping to expose. When the Vagaari attacked the mission to recover Outbound Flight, it gave the Chiss the moral opportunity to launch a full-scale war against the Vagaari. (SQ, NECH)

Geroon Remnant
Bearsh claimed that this was the formal name adopted by the surviving members of the Geroon race, one of the many alien civilizations that once thrived in the vicinity of Crustai but was nearly wiped out by the Vagaari. According to Bearsh, the entire surviving population moved about on a single Paskla-class cruiser for many years, until they encountered the Chaf Envoy on its mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project. The Geroon Remnant decided to travel with them, to honor the fallen Jedi who freed them from slavery. However, after Director Uliar realized that Bearsh and his companions were actually Vagaari pirates, their story of the Geroon Remnant was exposed as a falsehood. The Geroons were revealed to actually be the Vagaari, and when they attacked the mission to locate Outbound Flight, it gave the Chiss the moral opportunity to launch a full-scale war against them. (SQ, NECH)

Geroy
This Mandalorian verb translated into Basic as "to play." (RCTC)

Gerpha
This was a common name among the Phindian race. (UANT)

Gerraba
This Wookiee was wanted by Jabba the Hutt, at the height of the New Order. (SPG)

Gerrard V
This world was the fifth planet in the Gerrard System, and was a world that was once much more hospitable than it was during the era of the Galactic Civil War. Gerrard V's landscape was dominated by deserts, broken by small temperate areas and bordered by oceans. The planet's population was strongly against the tenets of the New Order, and a brief rebellion by members of the planetary militia caught the Imperial forces on Gerrard V by surprise.

Admiral Jion Trynn was dispatched to restore peace, and official Imperial reports claimed that he offered the rebels a chance to surrender. When the rebels apparently shot and killed his liaison, Admiral was forced to order several orbital bombardments in the vicinity of Harazod, leaving large portions of the planet in ruins. The devstation caused by the Star Destroyers Adjudicator and Relentless also destroyed much of the native ecology.

It was the uprising on Gerrard V that prompted Emperor Palpatine to suspend the Imperial Senate, until the growing unrest was dealt with. The planet was later liberated by Crix Madine and his Alliance forces. (SWJ3, RSG, NEGC, OWS)

Gerrat, Drac
This man operated a fishing boat on the moon of Dorumaa, during the era surrounding the Battle of Naboo. He spent much of his time hunting the elusive Nus Whale in his vessel, the Icon, but he avoided a direct hunt for fear that a whale would swallow the ship whole. (LFC)

Gerrenthum
Small cells of Alliance support sprung up on this planet during the Galactic Civil War, despite the fact that Gerrenthum was the sector capital of the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. Gerrenthum was located at the intersection of the Corellian Trade Spine and the Nothoiin Corridor, near the Yarith and Javin Sectors in the area known as the Greater Javin. This made the planet exceptionally wealthy, as starships passing through the area used Gerrenthum as their primary stopover point. Gerrenthum also served as the base of operations for several corporations in the Greater Javin, including the Outer Javin Company and several of the Figg companies that were part of it. (GG2, WOA33)

This paved the way for Lady Chawkroft to work with the Corporate Sector Authority to bring the project to fruition. He was survived by a wife, the Lady Gervruche. (CSA)

Ges
This female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)

Gesaril
This small, furred, six-limbed race was native to the unusual jungles of the planet Gesaril. Their unusual head structure was dominated by a wide mouth filled with sharp teeth. One eye was located at each corner of their mouth, and a large bowl-like ear sprouted from each side of their head. They have a certain affinity for the Force, which they used to manipulate the environment around them. When the Empire tried to establish a presence in the system, the Gesaril were badly mistreated. It had been rumored that the Gesaril, acting on concert and calling on the Force, pulled nine Imperial starships to crash on the planet. In general, the Gesarils were hyperactive and playful, and welcome most visitors who show no ill will. They were excellent carvers, using the Force to help them pull the inner beauty out of their works. (GG6, AE)

Gesaril
A strange planet found in the Gesaril System of the Minos Cluster, Gesaril was the site of a series of accidents involving nine Imperial warships. The planet was covered with a dense jungle which seems to float above a noxious swamp. It was the homeworld of the Gesaril race. The Empire had a strong presence in the system for two reasons. First, it had quarantined the system until it could discover why nine separate ships crashed in the exact same section of coastline. Second, a prison facility was built on an asteroid in far orbit around Gesaril's sun. The average day on Gesaril lasted 19 standard hours, and the year lasted 134 local days. (GG6)

This Neetakka Rodian was one of the bounty hunters of the Goa-Ato at the height of the Galactic Civil War. The assignment committee of the Goa-Ato placed Geska Gesse on the Imperial hunt for Luke Skywalker, in order to get the Neetakka off Rodia for an extended period. (SPG)

Gestal, Noric
This Gotal slaver spent a great amount of time on the planet Ryloth, during the final years of the Old Republic, searching for beautiful Twi'lek females to sell to his customers. He was often at odds with Chieb'Kalla, who employed a staff of beautiful females at the Fungus Pit, where they were off-limits to slavers. Gestal's frustration boiled over into anger shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, and he hatched a plot to steal as many of the females workers as he and his gang could. Despite the fact that Gestal and twenty-three of his goons entered the bar, their attempt was thwarted by a group of freelance agents who were on Ryloth in search of Jedi Master Vhiin Thorla. In the fighting that ensued, Gestal himself was killed, and the other slavers were gassed into unconsciousness. They were later arrested and sent to prison. (TS)

Gestation Bin
This was the Basic term used to describe the bio-engineered birthing chambers that were developed by the Yuuzhan Vong. Shapers used these gestation bins to grow clones of the various creatures they transported from their home galaxy. (LF6)

Getelles
This Imperial Moff survived the upheaval which followed in the wake of the Battle or Endor, and maintained control of the Antemerdian Sector. He maintained a small fleet under the command of Admiral Larm, and wasambitious enough to align himself with the droch Dzym and Seti Ashgad. Getelles, backed by Loronar Corporation's weapons and finances, believed that he could swiftly gain control of Meridian Sector. His aspiration was then to expand outward into New Republic space. In reality, Getelles was simply Loronar's paid assassin. Whenever they needed some being removed from their path, Getelles was tipped off to possible threats to his reign. When the plot was discovered by Republic focres, Getelles' fleet was destroyed. (POT)

Geth
This was the name of the TelBrinTel research droid stolen by Reesen Jivrak. Jivrak stole the droid from an Imperial convoy, and modified it for use in creating toxins and poisons. Geth was programmed to create toxins which altered the chemical balance of the deripors native to Ohratuu, making the beasts stronger and more violent. These modified deripors then became part of General Jivrak's land army. (SWJ10)

Gethzerion
The Clan Mother of the Nightsisters clan on Dathomir, Gethzerion was actually the middle daughter of Augwynne, the Clan Mother of the Singing Mountain clan. Much to Augwynne's dismay, Gethzerion fell prey to the power of the dark magics practiced by the witches of Dathomir, and felt that her mother's power was weak. Gethzerion made a power play to take control of the Singing Mountain clan, hoping to kill Augwynne but actually killing Kara'teel instead. Gethzerion's actions were discovered, but Gethzerion was freed by Baritha and the two fled in exile from the clan. This only served to harden Gethzerion's resolve, and she established her own clan, the Nightsisters. Gethzerion also wrote The Book of Shadows as a collection of all known information about the Shadow Magic she loved. However, Gethzerion was unable to fully comprehend the goals of the Empire, and was used by the remnants of the Empire to hunt down runaway slaves. When Emperor Palpatine realized that her strength with the Dark Side of the Force was considerable, he cut off Dathomir from any form of trade. Gethzerion was stranded on Dathomir, but later killed the stormtroopers who were guarding her. She use the surviving stormtroopers as a sort of security force. When Han Solo took Leia Organa to Dathomir, Luke Skywalker and Prince Isolder of Hapes tried to rescue her. Gethzerion recognized the strength of the Force in Luke, but was unable to destroy him She later negotiated with Warlord Zsinj for the use of a ship to escape from Dathomir, but the Warlord reneged on the deal and shot her ship from the sky. All the Nightsisters aboard were killed. (CPL, NECH)

Get'shuk
This was a Mandalorian team sport that was known for its often violent game play. (RC66)

Gett
This clone commander was the leader of Improcco Company, serving aboard the Fearless during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Like many other clones, Gett was noted for his irreverent humor. He developed a form of respect for Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan, after she refused to leave behind two battalions during the siege of the planet Dinlo, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. Commander Gett and his company volunteered to accompany General Tur-Mukan back to Dinlo to rescue Sarlacc Battalions A and B, before the Republic's warships bombarded the planet from orbit. (RCTZ)

Gettiarn
This planet was the outermost world in the Iotran System. (GG12)

Gettiarn Space Station

Getting Stuck In
This was a phrase used by the military trainers and leaders of the Grand Army of the Republic to refer to an individual's involvement in actual combat situations. (RCTZ)

Gett'se
When translated into Basic, this generic Mandalorian word meant "nuts." This word could be used literally to describe edible nuts, or it could be used as a slang term to describe a specific part of the male anatomy that was often associated with having enough nerve to actually do something. (OWS, RCTC)

Gev
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian command meant "Stop it!" or "Pack it in!" (OWS)

Gev, Mirta
This young woman was a bounty hunter, plying her trade during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The daughter of Ailyn Vel and Makin Marec, Mirta was raised in the Mandalorian tradition, although she knew little of her father, who died in a hull breach when she was young. Mirta knew even less about her grandfather, the noted bounty hunter Boba Fett. Thus, when Ailyn suddenly went missing about ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict, Mirta sought out the one person she knew she could find: Boba Fett.

She chose to keep her true identity a secret, in order to gauge Fett's worthiness as her grandfather. She managed to draw him into her own plan to locate Ailyn by suggesting that the man who killed Sintas Vel was connected somehow to the disappearance of Taun We. As proof of her story, she produced the very same heart-of-fire necklace that Fett had given to Sintas Vel on their wedding day, which Mirta had recovered while searching for her mother. The more she learned about Fett, however, the more disgruntled Mirta became with his ideals and his choices in life. However, she made sure that Fett stayed around by explaining to him that she had once met a clone who looked a lot like Fett, but went by the name Skirata.

After Fett decided to take Dur Gejjen's offer to assassinate Thrackan Sal-Solo, Gev was able to watch her grandfather work first-hand. However, she denied him the chance to take Sal-Solo out by firing three quick shots into Sal-Solo's head, although Fett fired two more blasts and Han Solo - along for the mission - took a few shots as well.

When she learned of her mother's death a short time later, Mirta realized that she needed to carry out her mother's wishes of killing Fett once and for all. Her attempt was thwarted when Leia Organa Solo used the Force to throw her to the ground, which robbed her of the chance to carry out her mother's wishes. Fett, however, knew he was dying anyway, and told Mirta to go ahead and fire. Realizing that he was the only family she had left, Mirta was unable to shoot him. Both individuals were forced to confront the fact that the other was the only family they had left, and they set about to forge a form of quiet peace. Mirta revealed that she had once been married, as befitted a young Mandalorian woman, but that she no longer had contact with her spouse. As a show of peace, Fett took the heart-of-fire necklace and broke the gemstone into two halves. One half he planned to bury with Ailyn on Mandalore, and the other he gave to Mirta. Then, they set out to return to Mandalore and give Ailyn a proper burial.

Once back on Mandalore, Mirta was welcomed into the community, although most of her friends and acquaintences could not avoid the fact that she was the granddaughter of the Mandalore. Adding to her conflicting emotions was the fact that she wanted Fett to pay for Ailyn's life, even while she tried to find a way to love him as her grandfather. She even tried to use her half-Kiffar heritage to read something of her mother from the heart-of-fire she held, but lacked any talent in psychometry.

Mirta provided her grandfather with information about a clone who had once attacked her, and together they set out to locate him. After tracing him to Kuat, they were confronted by the man, who revealed himself to be Jaing Skirata. Skirata agreed to help Fett, if only the man would return to his people and serve as a proper Mandalore.

When the returned to Mandalore, Mirta rekindled her romance with Ghes Orade, and the pair were to be married. After Fett acquired the rights to the estate of Hidu Rezodar, he and Mirta traveled to Phaeda to recover the carbonite block that contained the body of Mirta's grandmother and Fett's former wife, Sintas Vel. Mirta and Ghes spent a great deal of time helping Sintas recover, and offered their homestead as a place where she could continue to get better. Mirta later served among the many Mandalorians who participated in the Second Battle of Fondor, where they served as backup for Admiral Daala's Maw Irregular Fleet, and recaptured the destroyer Bloodfin. During the mission, Mirta was the first to confront Tahiri Veila in combat, catching the Jedi off-guard and slamming her to the ground with a running tackle. Tahiri tried to draw her lightsaber and fight back, but Mirta's beskar'gam protected her from sustaining any injuries. Mirta was then attacked by Jacen Solo, who had infiltrated the Imperial security blockade aboard a med runner to rescue Tahiri. She was saved by the other Mandalorians, who allowed Solo to escape with the knowledge that they had the means and the ability to kill him at any time.

Upon returning to Mandalore, Mirta and Ghes Orade were married in the Mandalorian tradition. After the wedding, Mirta spent time with Jaina Solo, and tried to discern why Jaina wanted to kill her brother. Mirta argued that Jacen was most likely not inherently evil, but rather that he had been shaped and twisted by the events in his life. Mirta cautioned Jaina to make sure that killing Jacen would be the right thing to do, instead of simply capturing him and locking him up for the rest of his life. With this out in the open, both women agreed to never fight on opposing armies, or avoid each other if they had to.

Just a short time later, Mirta Gev was part of the Mandalorian assualt force that was disptached to the Nickel One asteroid, after the Imperial Remnant took control of the asteroid. Boba Fett had signed a mutual-aid treaty with the Verpine, and the Mandalorians were obligated to do what they could to free them from Imperial enslavement. Two-thirds of her squad was killed in the minutes after landing, forcing her to take what action should could to eliminate the Imperial leadership on the asteroid. She found an unwilling assistant in the person of Jaina Solo, who had been dropped on the asteroid to confront her brother. Mirta showed her that the Mandalorians had already tapped into the security network on the asteroid, allowing them to monitor Darth Caedus' movements. Jaina agreed to help them before continuing her own mission, but they could find no sign of Caedus. After reaching the Strategic Planning Forum and realizing that the Moffs were inside, Mirta and the Mandalorians launched their attack, hoping to take out the gathered Moffs while Jaina handled Caedus.

The firefight that ensued drew in the Imperial Elite Guard before Darth Caedus arrived, with the Mandalorians taking down a handful of Moffs before they were savagely cut down by Caedus. Mirta managed to take out one more Moff before Caedus used the Force to fling her up against the ceiling of the chamber, then down to the floor, where she hit head-first and crumpled to the ground. None of the rest of her team survived the fighting, and Jaina could not determine if Mirta was dead or not before she was forced to engage Caedus in her own battle. It was later learned that Caedus recovered Mirta's unconscious body from Nickel One, and planned to interrogate her to learn the identities of the Jedi Knights who had accompanied the Mandalorians in their attack on the asteroid.

Mirta had lost all feeling in her body below the shoulders, so Caedus asked for Tahiri Veila's help in interrogating her. Tahiri suggested maiming Mirta's body even further, then sending her back to Mandalore in shame. Mirta feared this, but her fear turned worse when Caedus threatened to provide a sample of her blood to the Imperial Remnant scientists who were developing specialized nanokillers. She explained to Caedus that Jaina Solo had been the only Jedi on the surface of Nickel One, in exchange for Caedus' promise to administer a new drug that would help her recover the feeling in her body. Caedus, however, wanted to know about Luke Skywalker's presence on the asteroid, which Mirta knew nothing about. In an effort keep the Imperials from gaining her blood, Mirta lied about bringing Luke in with Jaina, but Caedus didn't fully believe her. He allowed the Imperials to take her blood, then injected her with the revitalizing drug, before having Mirta transferred to the Anakin Solo for recovery.

It was on the Star Destroyer that Mirta was discovered by Jaina Solo, who had been trying to rescue Prince Isolder before confronting her brother. Mirta was restrained in her cell, and the drugs she had been given had only restored partial mobility to one arm. She asked Jaina to warn Boba Fett about the nanokiller the Imperials had developed from her blood, and then asked her to tell Fett that he deserved to die for leading the Mandalorians to Nickel One. In exchange for Jaina's acceptance of these two tasks, Mirta explained to her that Darth Caedus had become convinced that Jaina was not the being who had taken his arm. Mirta hoped that Jaina would realize that Caedus truly underestimated her abilities. She then asked for a blaster to use if any of the security guards tried to do anything to stop Jaina. Jaina agreed, and was glad to learn that Mirta used the weapon to defend herself during the final stages of the battle.

Jagged Fel and a search team later rescued Mirta from the Anakin Solo's infirmary, and she was glad to learn that Ghes Orade had been rescued from Nickel One. However, they could not return to Mandalore, since the Galactic Alliance's Fifth Fleet had deployed the Imperial nanokiller on the planet. (LF2, LF5, LF8, LF9)

Gevarak, Malindin
A native of the planet Ord Mantell, this small-type counterfeiter was wanted by the Empire for forging Imperial credits for use by Alliance personnel. Although the charges were never proven, it was known that Gevarak traveled with the Wookiee, Cherioer. Last seen in the Baronos Sector, Gevarak's bounty reached 10,000 credits for live capture. He was recognizable by several facial piercings and tattooes. (GG10)

Gevarno Cluster
This collection of star systems was located along the Gevarno Loop. During the Clone Wars, the planets of the Gevarno Cluster was loyal to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (SHPT)

Gevarno Loop
This short, hyperspace travel route connected a number of star systems in a circular configuration, with the Al'har System located at its hub. The hyperspace lanes that spread outward from the Gevarno Loop connected many star systems, which made control of the Gevarno Loop important during the Clone Wars, when the surrounding systems were split in their loyalties. Because of the locations of the various stars and planets, travel between the "spokes" of the Gevarno Loop was time-consuming, so it was preferable to pass through the Al'Har System in realspace than to try and jump between spokes. (SHPT, EGF)

Ge'ver'alor
This Mandalorian word meant "aide" or "bagman," depending on the context, when translated into Basic. (OWS)

Ge'verd
This Mandalorian word meant "almost a warrior," and was considered an insult when used to describe another Mandalorian. (RCTZ)

Gevion
This combine-reaper was part of the small fleet of repulsor-equipped harvesting vehicles, deployed to the fields near the Bleaks, on the planet Leritor. It was once attacked by an army of Sauvax, who claimed that the crew of the Gevion fired on them first. The televor of the Sauvax clan then claimed that the settlers ruthlessly murdered and entire kuuvan of Sauvax to the north. A team of independent investigators discovered that a group of slavers had been raiding both Sauvax and human villages, taking what beings they could find to work at Profex Rynalla's excavation site in the Bleaks mountain range. (GMR10)

Gevis City
This urban area was located on the planet Kalandis IV. (GG10)

Gevrell
This man was the Assistant Security Chief at the Mos Eisley Spaceport during the Galactic Civil War. (GG7)

Gevtes, Pagda
This man was the master Devisor of the planet Exocron, during the period shortly after the Battle of Endor. He was also a council adjunct to the planet's ruling council. Like his predecessors, Gevtes worked hard to retain the knowledge of technology within the walls of Caballa City's Ministry of Technology. He also worked to keep the Devisors at the top of Exocron's society and political structure. When the crew of the FarStar was stationed on Exocron, Gevtes wanted to keep them on the planet in order to study their starships and learn more about the current technology of the galaxy. After Eida Sharden agreed to assist Kaiya Adrimetrum in freeing the crew of the FarStar, Gevtes was exposed as a power-hungry individual, and the Devisors' social status was reduced. Gevtes himself was placed under arrest and tried for his crimes. (KO)

Gev-Toosa
This Gran settlement served as the capital city of the planet Stend IV. Unknown to the Gran, a branch of the Army of Life established a base of operations on the planet shortly before the Battle of Naboo, in an effort to restore the planet to its primitive ecological state. They later tried to import a cargo of closhoppers to wreak havoc with the planet's environment. (WOA2)

Gew'lek
This being was a rival of the owners of the Cavalier Club, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Geyy
This Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "fat" or "great", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Geyyahab
A mythological Wookiee. The name was used by Chewbacca as an alias when he and Princess Leia were searching for Hethrir and Leia's missing children. In Chewie's case, he was simply a wookiee captured by the bounty hunter Lelila. (CS)

Gezzov-tak
This Arcona served as the first mate aboard the Isilia, working for Adriav Kavos. (PG1)

GFBS
This corporation produced a number of devices used by theatrical companies throughout the galaxy to produce special effects in their productions. Among the devices they manufactured were smoke generators and lightning simulators. (ROE)

Gfersh
This was a Rodian swear word. (GG11)

GG-36
This droid served as a host and protocol unit, greeting visitors to the planet Telerath, during the decades following the Great Sith War. Known as Gigi, this droid was rougly humanoid in shape, with a frame and coverings that were painted purple. (KOR3)

GH-5B2
This GH-series maintenance droid worked in the sewers below Eyar City, and was owned by Eyar Treatment Systems. (HAS)

GH-7
This was a model of medical droid that was produced by Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals, during the final years of the Old Republic. Many observers questioned Chiewab's earlier decision to spin off Geentech, since it appeared that it could have dominated the medical droid market. These observers reasoned that the GH-7 was Chiewab's attempt to recover a small percentage of the medical droid market. Essentially a humanoid torso equipped with repulsorlift engines for mobility, the GH-7 meddroid was an all-purpose automaton that could handle diagnostics and surgical assistance duties. Three manipulator arms allowed the GH-7 to perform various delicate tasks, from collecting specimens to hypodermic injections. A fourth probe arm extended from the neck, and couuld take temperatures as well as analysis fluid compositions. The repuslorlift enginers of the GH-7 developed a field that extended outward from its body, allowing it to carry a sample tray level while performing difficult procedures. The "eyes" of the GH-7 were actually sophisticated bioscanners that provided a stereoscopic image of a patient.

Like most medical droids produced during the last years of the Old Republic, the GH-7 was given a calming personality and a soothing voice, to help its patients feel at ease while under its care. Despite the fact that it got strong reviews in the trade press and won the Silver Bantha award four straight years, the GH-7 never garnered a large share of the market in the Core Worlds, although it was popular in many Outer Rim medical facilities. (TCG10, VD3, SWDB, NEGD, CVD)

Ghaleesit
This was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. It referred to a species of colorful, schooling fish found in Mon Calamari's oceans. (GCG)

Ghaleesit
This species of colorful fish was native to the oceans of Mon Calamari, where it lived in large schools. (GCG)

Ghalir, Ylan
This Mon Calamari was the original designer of the Leviathan suit of power armor. He was captured by Imperial forces during the Galactic Civil War, but was quickly rescued by Alliance forces. (SWJ3)

This was the proper name of the marine predator that was more commonly known as the bloodfin. (LF8)

Ghanol, Zam
This older woman served with Erli Prann aboard the Golan II space station near Bilbringi, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Erli Prann who allowed the station to be located by the crew of the Mon Mothma during Operation Trinity, so that he could lure hyperdrive-capable ships to the station. In this way, the pirates could salvage the hyperdrives from the New Republic ships and use them to power the battle station. Jaina Solo managed to use the Force to alter Prann's recollection of his hyperspace jump coordinates, and the station ended up trying to jump through a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor. While Prann and his people weren't clear of the Yuuzhan Vong, their proximity to the interdictor allowed them to pound the ship and clear an escape route for the Galactic Alliance forces. Prann then tried to fight his way clear, but Ghanol demanded that he surrender the Golan station to the Galactic Alliance. He refused, but was eventually subdued. Once he was remvoed from control, Ghanol and the rest of the pirates agreed to turn the station over. (FP)

This young Nagai was a rarity among his people, having a strong connection to the Force. After his discovery by the Jedi Knights, Gharn was among the handful of Jedi Padawans who were being trained by Master Lucien Draay at the satellite training facility on Taris, during the years following the Great Sith War. Gharn and the other Padawans were invited to a special ceremony by Master Lucien and the other Jedi instructors on Taris, to mark their achievements and ready them for their futures. Unknown to the Padawans, however, was that Lucien and the Masters were planning to murder the Padawans. Before they could react, Gharn and the others were cut down by their instructors. Only Zayne survived, having arrived late to the ceremony. The media reacted to the story with intense interest, and dubbed the four murdered Padawans as the Taris Four. (KOR1, LPSS)

Ghart, Abav
This Gotal was the leader of the Void Demons gang during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Ghart had been a pirate for more than fifty years at the time of the Battle of Yavin, and started the Void Demons more than thirty years before the war. He always dressed in expensive clothing, and was distinguished by the Repulse-Hand cybernetic prosthesis. He was considered a fiend of the worst kind, willing to do anything or betray anyone for a profit. This character was also referred to as Aban Ghart in Planets of the Galaxy, Volume One. (PG1)

Gharzr
This panther-like predator, also known as the Dxunian stalker, was native to the moon Dxun. Its gray fur was interwoven with bronze scales, giving it an armor-like plating that protected the beast. Despite being three meters in length and weighing over 200 kilograms, the average gharzr was extremely agile, and could sneak up on its prey with amazing stealth. The twin tails of the gharzr were each tipped with a poisonous stinger, and its long claws could eviscerate its prey with one swipe. Several gharzr managed to bridge the gap between Dxun and Onderon, and carved out a niche for themselves in the planet's jungles. (GMR3, UA)

This creature lives on the planet Exodo II, boring tunnel-like holes into the lava formations that cover the planet. (POT)

Ghator, Sal
This Yuuzhan Vong male was one of the many subalterns who lived on Zonama Sekot, during the years following the Galactic Alliance's defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong. Sal Ghator was one of the many Yuuzhan Vong who lived in La'okio, although he found it hard to adjust to the communal aspect of the settlement. Ghator was often caught stealing food from the communal gardens, claiming that his caste had been cursed by the gods and could not grow their own. (DN1)

Ghawems
This band of pirates worked the area of space near Hargeeva during the height of the New Order. They were known for their unique armor, which made them look like scaled swamp creatures.

Ghecharo
This arrogant noble once traveled to Neftali, in order to secure the services of Kaori Batta in hunting down an ice modrol. A former military officer, Ghecharo fancied himself a big-game hunter. Batta bristled at Ghecharo's attitude, but agreed to lead the hunt. Despite his lean build, Ghecharo was inadequately prepared for the rigors of Neftali's environment, and whined incessantly about the time it took to actually locate an ice modrol. When they did finally locate one, it had been injured, and Batta refused to track it for fear of attack. Ghecharo called Batta a coward and set out on his own to kill the beast. Unfortunately, Ghecharo was as stupid as he was arrogant, and when he ingited a lumalamp to see into the cave, he gave away his position to the ice modrol. The angry creature attacked with incredible swiftness, killing Ghecharo instantly. Ghecharo's assistant, Kleck, barely escaped. (WSV)

Gheer, Trisdin
This Hapan man was one of Ta'a Chume's retainers, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and was also a member of the Ni'Korish faction. After the fall of Coruscant, Trisdin found himself the receipient of the former Queen Mother's most vehement rantings against her daughter-in-law, Teneniel Djo, as she began to open up the Hapan Cluster for refugees. It was Tristan who suggsted to Ta'a Chume that she locate and train a young woman to take Teneniel Djo's place as Isolder's wife, removing the Dathomirian woman while ensuring that there was a continued succession to the royal throne. Ta'a Chume and Trisdin formed many plans within plans, including the murder of Jagged Fel and the grooming of Jaina Solo to one day become the Queen Mother. Jaina later discovered that Trisdin was not wholly loyal to Ta'a Chume, but instead was a spy for Alyssia, Ta'a Chume's niece. While this information was being sent to the former Queen Mother, Trisdin was trying to free Crimpler and the other pirates from the Starsprite in order to launch another attempt on the life of Teneniel Djo. The impetus for this action had been placed in his mind by Jaina herself, using a subtle nudge from the Force. Unfortunately for Trisdin, Crimpler was unaware of his loyalties, and killed Trisdin before escaping from prison. (DJ)

Gheeta
This Shell Hutt was climbing the social ladder when he was confronted with a great challenge. He was placed in charge of the main planetary reception and diplomatic terminal, to be used by the Shell Hutts to receive and negotiate with visitors. Gheeta was given an unlimited budget, and selected Emd Grahvess as his architect. Grahvess was considered the galaxy's best, freelance architect at the time, rivalling those employed by Emperor Palpatine and Prince Xizor of Black Sun. However, Gheeta had planned to kill Grahvess once the job was complete, thereby removing the need to pay him for the work. Grahvess, to his credit, was aware of the Shell Hutt's duplicity, and arranged to have a bounty placed on his own head. The bounty stipulated that he could be taken once the project was complete. Boba Fett took the bounty, but also arranged a few deals with Grahvess himself, placing weapons and explosives within the diplomatic center's columns and walls. Gheeta, robbed of his prey, was forced to pay for Grahvess' work and re-design the complex's security systems. The ease with which Fett penetrated the complex and captured Grahvess proved that his original plans were nowhere near what the Shell Hutt elders had requested, and this dropped him well down in the social structure. Thus, Gheeta developed a deep-seated hatred for Boba Fett, and vowed to kill the bounty hunter. To this end, he formed a web of plots and plans that came to a head with the arrival of Oph Nar Dinnid. In a fit of anger, Gheeta secretly killed Dinnid before any information could be extracted from him, but continued to act as if the comm handler were still alive. This ensured that Fett would come for the bounty on his head. When Fett and his companions arrived, Gheeta made a great show of one-upping the bounty hunter, revealing the long-dead body of Dinnid. This angered Nullada, who became outraged at the loss of credits. Gheeta tried to placate the older Shell Hutt by explaining that the death of Dinnid was compensated by the Narrant System liege-lords. Then, ignoring the elder Hutt's admonitions, Gheeta brought out a legion of hired mercenaries to eliminate the bounty hunters. However, Fett activated the weapons and opened the storage systems and wiped out the diplomatic complex. Near the end of the battle, Boba Fett took D'harhan's laser cannon and shoved it into Gheeta's shell. Pointing the apparatus skyward, Fett fired the weapon. Gheeta was killed instantly, as his shell exploded under the force of the blast. (MA)

Her investigative holofeatures were highly regarded for their in-depth analysis and unbiased opinions. Ghem agreed to help Leia Organa Solo implicated Senator Addath Gadan in a plot to capitulate Vannix to the Yuuzhan Vong, pretending to be Han Solo during a meeting between Leia and Addath. When the Senator offered to steal Vannix Navy resources to help sway Leia to assist with her election as Presider, Ghem secretly recorded the entire encounter. The resulting footage was eventually shown on Vannix holonetworks, dooming Senator Gadan and ensuring that Admiral Apelben Werl was elected Presider. (EL2)

In order to repay The Exile for his help, Dhagon arranged for the former Jedi to meet with Jedi Master Kavar. (KOTOR2)

Ghent, Nas
This man was a veteran of the Clone Wars, having served the Confederacy of Independent Systems during many of the most intense battles, including the First Battle of Coruscant. After the war ended, though, he pursued an independent career as a spacer, and eventually became a smuggler. The pay was good, but Nas preferred the thrill of taking risks and escaping Imperial patrols. However, he discovered that he wasn't satisfied, and often felt that dying in an escape might be the ultimate thrill. His maudlin thoughts were stifled during the height of the Galactic Civil War, when he was intercepted on a smuggling run by Darth Vader himself. Vader managed to shoot him down, and when Ghent survived a crashlanding on a remote world, Vader made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Vader offered Ghent the chance to train an elite squad of Imperial starfighter pilots. Ghent was then stationed aboard the Crucible, where he earned the wrath of Commander Dorin Millavec, who chafed at having a civilian training pilots aboard his ship. For his own part, Ghent was initially noncommital, until Imperial pilots from the Crucible tried to shoot him down. Ghent realized what was happening, and vowed to make Millavec pay for his actions. Millavec claimed that Vader had ordered the shooting, as part of Ghent's "training." Ghent refused to accept the explanation, and vowed to expose Millavec's true motives. (T21)

Ghent, Zakarisz
A former crew member of the Wild Kaarde and employee of Talon Karrde, Ghent was an accomplished young computer slicer from the planet Baroli. Note that the Heir to the Empire Sourcebook lists Ghent as a human, but the HTTE comic series from Dark Horse portrays him as a blue-haired near-human. Shortly before joining Karrde's organization, Ghent was a scrawny youth who was stranded on the planet Sibisime. He was conned into traveling to Chibias as part of a plot by Counselor Raines to discredit Imperial Governor Egron, and was going to take the fall when he was "rescued" by Mara Jade. It was Ghent who helped Leia Organa-Solo decipher the transmissions of Delta Source and locate its whereabouts, during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Following Thrawn's death and the formation of the Smuggler's Alliance, Ghent chose to join the New Republic, and eventually worked his way up to the position of Chief of Cryptography for the New Republic Intelligence agency. In this position, he was able to reconstruct the offer of a peace treaty negotiation that was supposed to have been delivered from Colonel Vermel to Garm Bel Iblis, before Vermel was captured by Captain Dorja and the Relentless. He was accompanied to Pakrik Minor by the Caamasi Elegos A'kla, whose descriptions of the destruction of Caamas and the need for justice without hatred and punishment without revenge struck a chord in the man. Ghent agreed to accompany General Hestiv to Yaga Minor, to recover a copy of the Caamas Document, as a first step in the new peace between the Empire and the New Republic. He was present at the station when Garm Bel Iblis arrived with his own assault force, hoping to steal a copy of the Document. Later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ghent served as an intelligence expert for the New Republic, and continued to serve the Galactic Alliance in the wake of the invasion. His skills were called upon by Luke Skywalker, during the crisis with the Colony, when it was discovered that R2-D2's memory core contained holographic information on the fate of Luke's mother. Ghent was allowed to travel to Ossus to help, but on orders from Chief of State Cal Omas to place a collection of bugs in Skywalker's offices. Luke's wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, discovered the bugs and confronted Ghent, who explained the entire situation. Luke then put Ghent back to work on R2-D2, although the omnigate he acquired from R2-0 died before the complete set of recordings could be played back. Master Skywalker, however, had seen enough of Padme' Amidala's last days to know that Mara had not been involved in her death. (DFR, HTSB, HTTEC, SOP, VOF, BP, GMR10, DN3)

A large creature which could attain lengths of six meters or more, the ghests live and hunt in the water. The ghest had huge eyes and a large mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth. Its four feet were heavily clawed, and its skeleton was made of cartilage rather than bone. They hunted by floating along in the water with just their eyes above the surface, exploding out of the water to ambush their prey and - in many cases - swallow it whole. They have no natural enemies, and even the bloodthirsty Rodians feared to hunt them unless it was required to remove a curse or bring a halt to a famine or drought. (KO, COG)

Ghhhk
This creature, native to Clak'dor VII, rises at dawn and screeches its mating call across the jungles. The skin of a ghhhk produces a special oil that was used by the Bith as a medicinal salve.

This young woman and her twin sister, Tia, was eighteen when she found herself imprisoned by Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine. Tia and Ghia were natives of Bestine IV, and had joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but only for the chance to meet Han Solo. After Solo was frozen in carbonite on Cloud City, the sisters defected from the Alliance and set out to rescue him from Jabba. Their military skills were lacking any form of organization, and the sisters were easily captured in Jabba's palace.

After a reckles flight from the gladiator pits to the station's hangar bays, Meeko nearly escaped again. However, Jango managed to disable the weapon's systems on Meeko's ship and captured him once again. Meeko was returned to Oovo IV, with a second life sentence added to his existing prison time. Meeko again staged an escape attempt, this time by signing onto a work crew that was mining ore from Oovo IV's rocky surface. Unfortunately for Meeko, he was intercepted by Jango Fett as he fled the prison in a mining vehicle. Scared for his life, Meeko tried to shoot Jango down, but the bounty hunter was too fast.

This terrestrial world was the fourth planet in the N'zoth System. It was orbited by a single moon. (CCW)

Gholondreine-b
This planet was once a vibrant, ocean-covered world with strong ties to the Old Republic. Upon instituting the New Order on the planet, the leaders of the various governments chose to move slowly, retaining as many of the freedoms they once enjoyed. This delay in the implementation of the New Order was discovered by Emperor Palpatine, who decided that an example had to be made. As punishment, Palpatine ordered all the water from the planet to be exported to Coruscant, where it would augment that planet's already-poor supply. This left Gholondreine-b as an arid desert wasteland. Many of the planet's natives moved to other inhabited worlds in the nearby systems to escape the dying world. It was on this planet that Boba Fett and Bossk agreed to team up in order to collect the bounty on Trhin Voss'on't. (SLS)

Ghomrassen
This was the largest, and innermost, of Tatooine's three moons. (SWI62)

Ghon, Plessus
This Jedi Knight, along with Ixian Rovieda, Nygreena Clo and Padawan Renxis Dielle, was killed on Kabal during a series of riots broke out when the Trade Federation overtaxed the planet for shipping. The taxation occurred just before the onset of the Clone Wars, and led to massive food shortages among the Kamarian people. The Jedi had been called in to quell the riots, when a fleet of supply ships loyal to Count Dooku and the Separatists began to drop food supplies to the populace. A scramble to obtain food ensued, and the Jedi were killed while trying to maintain the peace. (HNN5)

Ghoop Ocean
Located on the planet Malastare, this ocean was the ceremonial burying ground of the Dug race. (NEGC)

Ghorfa
This race once inhabited the deserts of the planet Tatooine, digging cities from the bedrock in order to escape the heat. Many xenoarchaeologists believe that the Ghorfas died out when offworld settlers disrupted the water supply they had maintained for generations. Others believe that the the Ghorfas simply evolved into a nomadic species, hunting for new water sources. These nomadic Ghorfas were widely held to be the ancestors of modern Tusken Raiders. (SWDB)

Ghorin
This former overlord and Imperial supporter was the ruler of the Greater Plooriod Cluster, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. He had a vast castle on the planet Plooriod IV. Ghorin agreed to supply the Alliance with a shipment of grain, but double-crossed them by providing poisoned cargo. In response, Ghorin was discredited by the Alliance. Alliance pilots used ships stolen from Ghorin's navy to attack an Imperial supply convoy in the Geedon System. Ghorin was executed for treason by Darth Vader. (XW, NECH)

Ghorman
The primary planet in the Ghorman System, Ghorman was the site of a massacre in which the newly-named Emperor Palpatine wiped out the planet's populace. Located in the Sern Sector, just outside the Core Worlds, Ghorman's populace was not in favor of the Empire. Moff Willhuf Tarkin wiped out a group of protesters by landing his warship on them for no apparent reason, other than to help Palpatine establish his evil presence in the galaxy. Note that Rebellion places Ghorman in the Sesswenna Sector. The massacre was a rallying cry for early leaders of the Alliance, including Mon Mothma and Bail Organa. The Empire later established a base there, hoping to prevent any further resistance. However, when the Alliance learned of the base's construction, it sent out a squadron of starfighters, which eliminated a number of supply ships and delayed the completion of the base for an entire year. (RASB, XW, REB, XWP)

Ghorman Massacre
This event took place just after Chancellor Palpatine had named himself Emperor and established the Galactic Empire, and was believed to have been the event that solidified Bail Organa's support for open rebellion against Palpatine's New Order. On the planet Ghorman, a group of protestors staged a peaceful demonstration against the Empire. Instead of simply arresting the protestors, Moff Willhuf Tarkin ordered his warship to land on them. Most of the protesters were killed, and many were crushed and received near-fatal injuries. The resulting loss of life was shocking, and word of it eventually reached the ears of Senators such as Mon Mothma and Bail Organa. The Ghorman Massacre became a rallying point for the early leaders of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and many other worlds that were suffering under Imperial occupation. For his part in the Ghorman Massacre, Tarkin was promoted to Grand Moff. (JS, NECH)

Ghost Spydr
This species of spydr was native to the planet Kubindi, and valued for its tasty flesh in many Kubaz dishes, although most Kubaz only ate the legs. However, the bite of a ghost spydr was poisonous, so Kubaz ranchers had to be careful around them. Many farmers took regular injections of ghost spydr poison in order to build up their immunity to it, which allowed them to work among the spydrs without fear of injury or death. (E1A5, MIS6)

Ghost Squadron
This was one of the most famous branches of the Empire's Special Operations forces. (SFE)

Ghost Squadron
This starfighter unit was led by Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Ghost Squadron was part of the task force that was sent to defend the hyperspace crossroads at Nexus Ortai, and ensure that the planet was not captured by Separatist forces. Although the pilots of Ghost Squadron were able to defeat the first set of Separatist vessels they encountered over the planet, they were too exhausted and undersupplied when General Grievous led a second wave of Separatist vessels into the battle zone. The Republic's ships were forced to retreat, leaving Nexus Ortai under the control of the Separatists. (CWSOD)

Ghost-firing
This was a term used by droid programmers and technicians to describe any false signal that was interpretted by the droid as an actual command. Similar to an organic being hearing something that wasn't there, a droid that experienced ghost-firing believed that it was experiencing events that had not actually occurred. The occurrence of ghost-firings was usually not a problem, although they were cause for alarm when they occurred in combat or security droids, as a mis-interpretation of their programming could lead to the injury or death of an organic being. (LF6)

Ghostling
A strange, ethereal alien race that resembles humans. They were a very fragile people, and can easily be destroyed when touched. The touch of a human almost certainly means death to them. Even given this fact, though, many ghostlings desire to enter physical relationships with humans. Most ghostlings have green-gold hair and shiny, tan skin. During the last years of the Old Republic, Ghostling children were sought after as pets or slaves by many of the galaxy's less reputable beings, because they were extremely beautiful and hard to find. Ghostlings were native to the planet Datar. They lived in nests formed from creeper vines and leaf material, which hung from the branches of the bayah trees. (CS, E1A5)

Ghosts
This was the name given to the assassinations unit of the Death Watch. (SWGAL)

see Ghraggka (VIS)

Ghraggka
This loyal Wookiee served as the protector of Prince Rikummee during the final decades of the Old Republic, allowing the prince's father, King Grakchawwaa, to handle the leadership of their tree-city. When the King found himself in negotiations with the Trade Federation, during the height of the Clone Wars, Ghraggka was busy trying to keep Prince Rikummee safe in the jungles of Kashyyyk. The impetuous young Wookiee fancied himself a skilled hunter, and Ghraggka was taxed to keep his safe. His ability to protect the young prince was compromised when they stumbled upon a Separatist probe droid, deep in the jungles. Before he could reach Rikummee's side, the probe droid opened fire on the young Wookiee, cutting him down and killing him almost instantly. In his anger, Ghraggka destroyed the probe droid, but attracted the attention of more droids. He was rescued by a group of Wookiee warriors, and was able to warn King Grakchawwaa of the Trade Federation's treachery. Grakchawwaa, who had been staunchly neutral up to this time, openly declared war against the Separatists, and allied his own forces to the Old Republic. Note that this character is also referred to as Ghraggaka. (VIS)

Their initial designs, including the Class 580 and the Class 720 freighters, were popular with independent spacers in the Outer Rim Territories, but never became popular like the YT-1300 freighter, and later designs lost favor with starship owners because of their lack of speed and maneuverability. The corporation filed for bankruptcy and went out of business during the Galactic Civil War, although thousands of their freighters continue to see use throughout the galaxy. (RPG, PP, WOTC)

GHT-series Medevac Droid
Produced by TelBrinTel, this medical droid was desgined to support battlefield medics in a variety of ways. A teardrop-shaped droid equipped with a repulsor engine, the GHT-series could transport injured soldiers, carry medical supplies, and act as a triage medic or paramedic. The only flaw in the GHT's design was the fact that it could not act independently, and had to be provided with information on the lcoation of a downed soldier or a drop point. (FTD)

Ghufran
This pilot joined Rogue Squadron after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (IJ)

Ghul, Forzi

Gi, Klin-Fa
A native of the planet Bonadan, this female Jedi Knight went rogue during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She had been on Gyndine and reported as killed in action, but she later showed up on Bonadan. She and another Jedi, Bey Gandan, had been trying to return a stolen qahsa to the New Republic, after having been captured and nearly enslaved by Yuuzhan Vong Shapers. Both escaped, but then split up to try and recover the oranic key which would open the qahsa. Bey was recaptured, and Klin-Fa was nearly taken into custody by the authorities on Bonadan. Because she had managed to gain the confidence of Uldir Lochett, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker asked Lochett return her for debriefing. She was eventually brought aboard Lochett's ship, the No Luck Required, but she used her lightsaber to cut a hole in the walls of the brig. Klin-Fa Gi managed to reach the ship's hangar bay, where she stole a small starfighter and fled the ship, bound for the planet Wayland. Once there, she barely escaped capture by the Yuuzhan Vong, only to be reunited with Uldir. They were forced to defend themselves against the attack of a Chom-Vrone in order to survive. With the help of the Free People, they managed to escape Wayland with the organic key. Klin-Fa then related the details of her mission to Uldir and his crew, in the hopes of gaining their trust and assistance in rescuing Bey and recovering the qahsa, which held the Yuuzhan Vong's plans on destroying bacta production on Thyferra. They traveled to Thyferra at top speed after rescuing Bey Gandan, only to discover that Bey was the delivery mechanism for the virus which could wipe out the alazhi trees. Uldir and Klin-Fa fought valiantly against the former Jedi, until Uldir found himself with Klin-Fa's lightsaber. He threw the weapon at Bey, but Bey used the Force to push it away. His concentration was on Klin-Fa, however, and the lightsaber hit a tree and sliced him in half. Uldir and Klin-Fa then worked to eliminate any trace of the alazhi virus before getting a well-deserved vacation from Luke Skywalker himself. The pair then gave into the emotions, and began to fall in love. Klin-Fa was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (GMR10, EOV, SWI62, SWI64, UF)

Gi, Sha'a
This awkward young man was a native of the planet Ord Biniir, and was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force by Daakman Barrek, several years before the Battle of Naboo. During his training, it became apparent that Sha'a Gi's true strength was in the area of computers, not combat or martial arts, and he hoped to become a member of the staff at the Jedi Archives on Coruscant after completing his training. Sha'a Gi grew as an individual during his training, as Barrek worked to bring out Sha'a's inner strength. They spent much of their time together putting a stop to pirate activities in the Outer Rim, which led to the discovery of the droid foundries on Hypori during the height of the Clone Wars. They were forced to join the fighting when General Grievous decimated the Jedi task force sent to Hypori, and Sha'a Gi had to watch in horror as Barrek was cut down by Grievous. Sha'a Gi panicked and ran into the open, where he was surrounded by battle droids and set upon by Grievous. The General speared Sha'a Gi with his six-fingered hand, then crushed him to death with his incredible weight. (OWS, SWDB)

This smuggler, a native of the planet Coruscant, worked from a base on Nar Shaddaa during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GUN)

Gian Speeder
This large, military repuslorcraft was often supported by smaller, more maneuverable speeders. These speeders were modified version of the V-19 speeder, produced by SoroSuub during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found a place in the military of the Naboo. In the Royal Naboo armed forces, Gian speeders were supported by 2 or more Flash speeders. The Gian speeder measured 5.7 meters in length, could transport a total complement of four beings (a pilot, a gunner, and two passengers), and was armed with three light repeating laser blasters. The Gian speeder could attain speeds of 160 kilometers per hour. In order to ensure that the speeder remained operable during combat, the Naboo added redundant power generators for the weapons, and they upgraded the underside plating to withstand landmines. Special command versions of the Gian speeder contained enhanced communications systems. (X1, IG1, SON, NEGV)

Gi-an-ku'rii
This was the Cathar name for an ancient ritual in which a shamed warrior could expiate themselves and restore their honor. (CN2)

Giant Amorphous Bantha Breakfast Biscuit
Rumors abound of these amoebic ruminants, although not all of them were taken seriously. Urban legends claim that these creatures were born in a TaggeCo lab, after scientists irradiated standard biscuits in order to heat them up. Investigation revealed that the biscuits had been somehow bonded to the genetic material of a bantha, and the combination was activated by the radiation. They could be destroyed by covering them with the special, blue sauce produced by TaggeCo. (SWJ11)

Several large fungi were even used as landing pads. Professor Volz had his laboratory in one of the fungi located in the forest. (CSWEA)

Giant Lily
This plant was native to the ponds and marshes of Ithor, where it anchored itsefl by literally gluing its roots to underwater stones. The roots of the giant lily exuded a natural form of cement that bonded to the stones, permanently anchoring the lily plant in place. This cement was used by the native Ithorians in the construction of body panels for their leafships, and was of interest to the Empire for a number of uses. (MIS7)

Giant Pig Rodent

Giat Nor
This N'zoth guild city was known for its fine craftsmanship, especially on repulsorlift vehicles. Giat Nor also served as N'zoth's planetary capital. The crasftsman of Giat Nor created magnificently-appointed groundcars, and supplied a marvelous example of their work to Nil Spaar, upon his return to N'zoth following the first wave of the Yevethan Purge. Any non-Yevetha discovered in the city was executed on sight, so that their smell did not permeate the city's air. (SOL, CCW)

Giba, Lonnag
This older Galacian male was the head of the Council of Ministers when Queen Veda decided to implement a democratic election to determine her successor. After she asked the Jedi Knights to assist in mediating the elections, Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that Giba had been plotting to assume control of Gala for himself. Giba had planned to assume control through Prince Beju, but realized that the Prince had less popular support than Deca Brun. Since Brun was the obvious favorite to win the elecetion, Giba arranged to have Offworld Mining Corporation finance Brun's campaign under the guise of Galacian support. After Brun was elected, Giba would then rule through Brun, who had little political experience. After Qui-Gon Jinn realized that Elan was the true heir to the throne of Gala, Lonnag Giba attempted to wipe out the Hill People in order to assassinate her. The attempt failed, and Giba was exposed as a traitor to Gala. He tried to escape by using Obi-Wan's lightsaber, by Qui-Gon Jinn quickly disarmed him. Giba was arrested and removed from power. (MOC)

He even piloted the ship in an attempt to rescue Fen, Ghitsa Dogder, and Kyp Durron from Culan Braslis and his crew of mercenaries. (TFNR)

Gibbela
This remote world was once scouted by the Empire for colonization, during the height of the New Order, despite the fact that many starship captains avoided the planet. The effort to take control of Gibbela was considered by historians to be one of the best examples of poor intelligence leading to military disaster, as they meager Imperial detachment thought they were going to encounter little resistance. Initial fly-by reconnaissance had shown a race of small, humanoid beings that were engaged in simple farming. As the Imperial team learned, however, was that appearances could be deceiving. The simple humanoids were actually a race of polymorphs that could quickly double in size when angered or upset, turning into vicious predators. The Imperial team sent to Gibbela was summarily destroyed, and their equipment put to use by the farmers, once they returned to their normal stature. (T19)

Gibbertz and ham
This was an expletive used by Tup. (EVE)

Gibbit Bird
This avian was a symbiont to the rancor. The rancor allowed the gibbit bird to roam freely in its mouth, where the bird cleaned its teeth by picking out stuck pieces of bones and flesh. This helped the rancor's teeth remain sharp and healthy, and allowed the gibbit bird to obtain food of its own. (GOF1)

Gibbs
This shapeshifter infiltrated the ranks of Cularin's government during the height of the Clone Wars, in order to gain access to the system's politcal leaders. Posing as a human, Gibbs was placed in charge of arranging the events which heralded the return of Senator Lavina Wren to Cularin. He spent most of his time trying to convince Warlan Tosk that everything was in order, despite Tosk's ingrained skepticism. His incredulity and timidness was all an act, however, as it was later revealed that he was working with an assassin who had been hired to kill Senator Wren. (LFCW)

(GCG)

Gidd

Giel, Mils
This Imperial Admiral was in command of a large fleet of warships, during the months following the Battle of Hoth. A self-sure man with strong opinions on how the Empire should be run, Giel demanded complete compliance with his orders. His confidence in his men and his fleet was admirable, but also short-sighted. When it was learned that the Alliance had stolen the fleet's travel routes from the outpost on Spindrift, Giel refused to believe that they could harm him. At the same time, Admiral Giel was ordered to return the only known specimen of teezl to Coruscant. He was unprepared when Luke Skywalker and a group of pilots managed to infiltrate his armada flying in modified TIE Fighters, and he quickly ordered the teezl to jam communications. Although communications among the Alliance was disrupted, Luke managed to get a shot away and destroy the teezl. Giel returned to the Empire empty-handed, but admitted his mistakes to Darth Vader. Vader spared his life, but demoted him to Lieutenant for the loss of the teezl. Giel was then dispatched to Golrath, to search the planet for clues as to where the Alliance went after leaving the planet. Giel hoped that, by locating the Alliance and turning them over to Vader, he could regain his Admiralty. It was Giel himself who triggered the reactor overload which would have destroyed Golrath Station, as part of an improvised plan to capture Leia. Leia managed to escape, as did the rest of the Alliance team, leaving Giel once again without any information to return to Lord Vader. He tried to return to Coruscant, but was shipwrecked on the planet Beheboth, where he discovered that he could use the Tirrith as agents to consolidate his power. Though five years of experimentation, he developed speciallized globes that could contain a small collection of Tirrith. He also began experimenting with ways to breed special colonies of Tirrith, bred for destruction. He managed to receive funding from a cousin on Ralltiir, buying a small moisture farm that was well away from any other settlement. The globes - designed around the systems of a standard vaporator - about the size of an astromech droid - could then used as weapons, releasing the specially-modified Tirrith to destroy certain outposts. Giel planned to use these Tirrith to destroy the Alliance, in an effort to regain his position of power. His plans were discovered by Darial Anglethorn, and although Giel managed to flee Beheboth, his plans were exposed by Luke Skywalker to the commanders of the Alliance. (LTA3, OWS, MC60, MC61, MC63, MC65, PH)

Gier, Jo'Ara
This Cerean woman was a member of the underground resistance on the planet Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was part of a growing number of Cularin natives who feared that the Metatheran Cartel would take control of the planet, if it ever got a chance to gain a foothold in Cularin's brisk trading economy. It was Jo'Ara who discovered a transmitter in the datapad used by the resistance to break into the Cartel's headquarters, allowing many of her team to escape being captured. (EOS3)

Captain Pollux refused to bow to the Yuuzhan Vong's wishes, and even tried to help save Alema and Numa Rar from being captured. In the end, the Gift of Anguish destroyed the Nebula Chaser in a ploy to try and win support from Leia Organa Solo. Her refusal to turn over information on the Jedi Knights forced the captain of the Gift of Anguish to destroy the refugee vessel. (SBS)

Gifts of the True Gods, The
According to the Gospel of the True Gods, the Yuuzhan Vong were given three gifts by their gods: life, the least of their gifts, so that the Yuuzhan Vong could serve the True Gods; Pain, so that each Yuuzhan Vong knew that life's value lay only in the service of the True Gods; and Death, which was the greatest gift of all, providing the Blessed Release from the burden of Pain and the curse of Life.

Gigaun
This immense, ronto-like creature was native to the planet Ukio. Also known as Hatchet Heads because of the distinctive bony plates that sprouted from their heads, gigauns mostly harmless beasts that had a unique subsonic call. This call caused the seeds of various grains to germinate, making the gigauns a vital part of the agriculture that dominated Ukio's economy. Wandering herds of gigauns used their subsonic calls to communicate, and as they moved about during their annual migrations, this communication caused entire crops to germinate on a somewhat regular schedule each year. (CWOC2)

Gigaunt
This was another name for the gigaun, which was native to the planet Ukio. (CWOC2)

Giggle-dust
This was spacer slang for most any form of illegal, inhaled drug. (POT, SWG2P)

This species of tall, furred bipeds was often confused with Wookiees, wampas, and other larger, fur-covered creatures. Noted for their empathic nature, Gigorans had long, well-muscled limbs with well-padded hands and feet. Unlike Wookiees, the Gigorans could speak Basic, but preferred their own native language of unintelligible grunts and chirps. They led a peaceful existence until a group of smugglers tried to establish a base on Gigor. The smugglers found a ready source of credits in selling the Gigorans as indentured labor, primarily to the Empire. (SWJ4, SWJ13, OWS)

Gigrig
This was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Gigrig was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "gardener". (GCG)

Gihaal
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian word referred to a dried form of fish that was easily carried and lasted for years. It was known for its pungent smell.

Gihal, Jio
This xenobiologist spent a great deal of time on the moon Misnor, researching the life and migration patterns of the chiilak. Despite the Imperial support for the hunting of chiilaks, Gihal never revealed the location of any of his sitings. (COG)

Giiett, Micah
This Jedi Master served on the Jedi Council as a contemporary of Mace Windu. A portly man with three thick rows of hair on his head, Micah was known as a teacher who use devious methods to tech his students the pitfalls of relying solely on the Force for their powers. Micah was good friends with Plo Koon, and over the years the pair had developed a sharp repartee to their communication. Others may have mistaken it for one-upsmanship, but those close to the Jedi knew that the two were good friends. Micah was killed when Mace Windu and the Jedi traveled to the Yinchorri System to deal with the growing aggressions of the Yinchorri. He was injured in the final battle of Yinchorr, and sacrificed himself to allow the other Jedi to escape. When he was confronted by the Yinchorri warriors, he used his lightsaber to ignite the fuel cells of a ground tank, killing himself and the leaders of the Yinchorri military. Mace Windu suggested that Ki-Adi-Munid be elected to fill Master Giiett's position on the Jedi Council, despite the fact that he was still a Jedi Knight. Note that this character is sometimes named Giett during Jedi Council: Acts of War. (AOW)

Giil
This was the first of seven seasons experienced on the planet Guiteica. (AE)

Giju
This was a species of small, schooling fish that moved about in phrenetic groups. (OF)

Giju
This planet was the homeworld of the Herglics. It was known for its explorers and merchants, and the Herglics were one of the first members of the Old Republic. The Empire, realizing the importance of the Herglics and their abilities, forcibly took over the manufacturing centers on Giju after a short but bloody battle, and forced the Herglics into hard labor. When the New Republic was born, the Herglics were able to rebuild their society very quickly, for in submitting to the Empire, their cities and manufacturing facilities were spared any major damage. (DFR, DFRSB)

Giju Passage
This was another name for the Giju Run. (PGT)

Giju Run
Also known as the Gju Passage, this hyperspace trade route connected Herglic space to the Tapani Sector. (PGT)

Giju Slider
One of the many slider sandwiches developed by Dexter Jettster for his restaurant, Dex's Diner, the Giju Slider was a massive meal that was made from two Mongo Beefhead patties. The patties were topped with triple cheese, deep-fried Tapani Triangles, mega-leaf lettuce, larded neutrinos, a piece of algae-bread, and a fried blubberbird egg. The medium-density food-board that held the sandwich together was covered with Boonta Spice mustard and plankton spread, and the entire meal was crowned with a green jumbolive. (OWS)

Gi'kha
This was a common name among the Noehon race. (UANT)

Gikkin
Once a native of Repea, Gikkin was the commanding officer of the Crimson Aces defense squadron. He was a vocal opponent of the New Order, a stance which led the Repean government to fear that he might cause the Crimson Aces to defect from service. After Repea joined the Empire, they launched an attack on the Crimson Aces, killing many of its members and scattering the survivors into the Cron Drift. Gikkin managed to survive, and resurrected the Crimson Aces as a mercenary unit. They spent much of their effort disrupting the relationship between Repea and the Empire, until several Star Destroyers destroyed much of the planet. Gikkin and the Crimson Aces then set out on their own, selling their services to the highest bidders. Gikkin was killed shortly afterward while on a mission. (GMR9)

Gil
This young man was a prince, the son of the King who ruled the nightside of his homeworld. Gil and Princess Risa were pursued by a band of brigands when Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon suddenly appeared from an energy disturbance and crashed into their planet, some months after the Battle of Endor. Han arranged to have Prince Gil kidnapped by other brigands, so that King Cleroff could pay his ransom and make Gil's family indebted to him. In this way, Cleroff could demand Gil's marriage to Princess Risa as recompense. Although Marius tried to waylay the plans, in the end it was Han who rectified the situation and allowed King Cleroff to push for a lasting peace. (MC101)

One of the most famous warships of the Expansion Era, this was a cruiser-sized starship. (DESB)

Gilamar, Mij
This Mandalorian soldier was chosen by Jango Fett to join the ranks of the Cuy'val Dar, during the years leading up to the onset of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by the broken nose he suffered in a game of get'shuk, Gilamar was a noted expert on covert operations, and he also taught a course on combat and field medicine that provided the clone troopers with a basic knowledge of first aid and medical triage. He was also known for his skills as a scrounger, and he often liberated essential technologies that were needed by his clone troopers. When the Grand Army of the Republic was formed, Gilamar was recognized as a formal Doctor, and was named the chief medical advisor to the Special Operations Brigade. He was commissioned by the Republic Department of Defense to investigate the types of stress that clone troopers were suffering on the battlefield, and reported that clones were better trained than most soldiers, but they eventually suffered the same kinds of physical and mental stress. As the Clone Wars ground on, Gilamar was one of many former Cuy'val Dar members who joined Kal Skirata's plans to defect from the Grand Army of the Republic and establish away for clone troopers to live out normal lives. He and Wad'e Tay'haai were among the many instructors who hated the fact that clone troopers were being trained in covert operations in order to hunt down defectors, but Wad'e was forced to ackowledge the fact that being on the inside of the Republic's military gave him access to information and data that could not be acquired by a civilian. When Skirata arranged to meet with Doctor Reye Nenilin, Gilamar agreed to accompany Skirata, providing his medical experience as a way to ensure that Nenilin was telling the truth. (RCTC, RC66)

Gilatter
This star was the primary body in the Gilatter System, located in the Mid Rim near the planet Ansion. None of the planets that orbited the star were capable of supporting life, although Gilatter Eight was once encircled by several orbital resorts. (LF4)

Gilatter Eight
This gas giant was the eighth planet in the Gilatter System, which was located in the Mid Rim near Ansion. During the last millennia of the Old Republic, the planet was surrounded by a multitude of floating resorts. From these various locations, wealthy vacationers could marvel at the swirling gases of the planet's surface. However, over time, the tastes of the gaalxy changes, and the resorts were no longer as popular as they once were. The last resort finally went out of business about 110 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War.

Most of the resorts were simply abandoned, but because they had been built in geosynchronous orbits, they remained in space above Gilatter Eight. One of these resorts was later used as a meeting site by the various members of The Confederation, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. According to several sources, it was here that the members hoped to elect a Supreme Commander they could trust to win the war against the Galactic Alliance. However, this was little more than the bait in an elaborate trap set up by Turr Phennir, who had already been elected to serve as the Supreme Commander. It allowed warships of The Confederation to mass without being stopped, while trapping the GA forces against the surface of Gilatter Eight. (LF4)

Gilatter VIII
see Gilater Eight (LF4)

Gilbrantes, Fenn
This man served as a Sector Ranger during the last years of the Old Republic, working in the Yarith Sector of the galaxy.

(WOA34)

Gilded Claw
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was part of the security forces used by Kuat Drive Yards to protect their facilities, in the early years of the New Republic. It was part of the force sent to combat Warlord Zsinj and the Iron Fist, during the Warlord's attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss. Although the Gilded Claw and its TIE squadrons caused considerable damage to the Iron Fist, the larger ship managed to inflict serious damage to the Gilded Claw and escape the battle. (IF)

Gilded Lily
This Baudo-class space yacht was owned by the actress Jona Reeten, whose real name was Rollo Morsai. When the actress Reeten was blacklisted during the Imperial occupation of the Minos Cluster, the fancy and expensive ship was converted for use as a transport. This was the only work that Rollo Morsai could find. The 32-meter ship was gutted for cargo space, and the weaponry was upgraded to a simple, turret-mounted lsaer cannon. (GG6)

Gilded Thranta
This was the name of the FX-77 Star Yacht owned by the Rodian Falloon, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was armed with two turret-mounter, dual laser cannons, mounted on top and bottom of the ship, along with a concussion missile launcher. Falloon, who was actually the former Black Sun accountant Soolehad, gave the ship to the group of mercenaries who got him off Sriluur, after he turned over the droid 9T-LOM to a group of former Black Sun leaders on Coruscant.

Gileng Sector
This was the name of one part of the planet Coruscant, after it had been destroyed and rebuilt by the Yuuzhan Vong into a simulacrum of their long-lost homeworld, Yuuzhan'tar. (FH3)

Gilflyn
This Corellian man was one of many Corellians who joined the Jedi Order during the last years of the Old Republic. However, Gilflyn's moral sense of rightness was somewhat corrupted. Although he went into hiding when Emperor Palpatine beganhis Jedi Purge, Gilflyn actually believed that the balance of the Force had been restored. When the New Republic emerged from the Battle of Endor and the death of Palpatine, Gilflyn took it upon himself to restore balance to the Force. He believed that Luke Skywalker and his new Jedi Knights were once again tipping the balance of the Force to the light side, and so he set out to eliminate them and restore balance to the Force. He eventually turned to using a great deal of Sith lore in his efforts, and became enamored of the idea of being a Sith apprentice. (CCW)

Gilfrome
This Brolfi served as the Guildmaster of Barlok's mining operations, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Guildmaster Gilfrome was at the forefront of the opposition to the Corporate Alliance's plans to take control of Barlok's mining operations, and was the key participant in the negotiations that were mediated by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth, some five years before the onset of the Clone Wars. When C'baoth destroyed a slinker missile that was armed to assassinate both Gilfrome and Passel Argente, both sides were unable to think beyond their own safety. This allowed C'baoth to force a settlement to the debate, providing mining rights to the Brolfi while protecting the Corporate Alliance's investments on Barlok. (OF)

Gilgam
This Pursuer enforcement ship was owned by K'Armyn Viraxo during the Galactic Civil War. He used it to harrass Harlequin Station as well as Azzameen Station. (XWA)

Gilla, Yamin
This young man was one of the primary representatives of the organization known as Sentient Beings Opposing Violence, during the final years of the Old Republic. Gilla was the leaders of the SBOV personnel who were dispatched to a peace conference aboard the cruise ship Luxury, where the SBOV planned to meet with Jedi Master Kirlocca to discuss a truce between their two groups. Unknown to all parties, the Luxury had been infiltrated by the Dark Jedi known as Raik Muun, who planned to disrupt the talks and discredit the Almas Academy. Her plan called for the use of several t'salaks, which she unleashed in the main conference room. Gilla was helpless to act as Kirlocca and his Padawans tried valiantly to defeat the t'salaks. Ultimately, Kirlocca was killed in the fighting, but a group of freelance agents hired by the Almas Academy was able to finally destroy the t'salaks. After Raik Muun was also killed, Gilla and his SBOV were forced to admit that they would not have survived the attack without the help of the Jedi. He vowed to return to his SBOV superiors and reconsider their views of the Jedi Order. (FOC3)

Gillad
This temperate world was the second planet in the Empress Teta System, and was orbited by a single moon. (PH)

Gillespee, Samuel Tomas
This man was a noted smuggler during the last years of the New Order, and the captain of Kern's Pride. He decided to retire to Ukio after the Battle of Endor, and lost a newly-purchased piece of land when Imperial forces under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn launched their first surprise attack on Ukio. Afterward, he joined Talon Karrde in becoming one of the primary parties in the Smugglers' Alliance. (TLC)

Gill-flush
Found in many spas and resorts throughout the galaxy, gill-flushes helped clean the gills and breathing apparatus of many piscine and amphibious races from harmful bacteria and other contaminants. (HSL)

Gillia
This heavily-modified Suwantek TL-1800 freighter was placed at the disposal of Imperial Security Bureau Major Dreflin, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Dreflin was dispatched to oversee the actions of the crew of the Star Destroyer Reprisal during the subjugation of the planet Teardrop, and leveled charges of treason against Daric LaRone and his squad of stormtroopers. LaRone then shot Dreflin dead, and the stormtroopers stole the Gillia and fled into space.

In addition to augmented shields and weapons systems, the Gillia carried several speederbikes and a wealth of high-tech weaponry in her holds. Several coffers filled with Imperial credits allowed the stormtroopers to purchase supplies after their desertion.

The five stormtroopers eventually renamed the freighter as the Melnor Spear, in an effort to escape Imperial notice. (A)

Gilliana
This Tapani Sector planet was the primary world in the Gilliana system, and was part of the holdings of House Cadriaan during the New Order. (LOE)

Gilling
This man was one of the handful of Imperial Security Bureau agents who accompanied Colonel Vak Somoril on his investigation of the desertion of several stormtroopers from the Star Destroyer Reprisal, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Gilling and his partner, Brock, were later dispatched by Somoril to keep an eye on Mara Jade, in case the Emperor's Hand tried to interfere with their operation. Both agents were exceptionally formal in their attitude and actions, accepting their orders and carrying them out with a minimum of discussion.

When the trio managed to infiltrate the Commodore's base on Gepparin, Brock revealed that they were no longer taking orders from Jade. Gilling inadvertently revealed that they were under orders from Colonel Somoril, and the two agents made to take Mara captive. However, they were interrupted by a group of BloodScar Pirates, who began firing at will at them. In the resulting firefight, both Brock and Gilling were cut down and killed by blasterfire. (A)

Gillmunn, Nolan
A direct descendant of Orliss Gillmunn, this man led the small band of Loyalist rebels that opposed the Imperial occupation of Jabiim during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Nolan had been a young man during the Clone Wars, and witnessed the treachery of both Anakin Skywalker and Thorne Kraym, who murdered his father during the fighting. Nolan called in help from the Alliance, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, hoping to put an end to twenty years of pillaging at the hands of the Empire. He was amazed when he learned that one of the Alliance's representatives was Luke Skywalker, the son of Anakin Skywalker. Like many Jabiimites, Gillmunn believed that Anakin had betrayed the Jabiimites during the Battle of Jabiim, when he was forced to abandon the planet in the face of the overwhelming size of the Separatist force that was controlling the planet. However, he also understood that the assistance of the Alliance team was the only way he could ensure that his people were truly free. After Gillmunn's Loyalists ordered all Alliance starships out of the system, while holding Luke and Leia Organa prisoner, Gillmunn himself was forced to confront his own demons while trying to keep the Loyalists from self-destruction. When an Imperial ambush destroyed much of the Loyalist headquarters, Nolan and Luke were captured and held for questioning by commander Thorne. Thorne would have executed Nolan and his leaders, had not Darth Vader himself arrived at Jabiim and ordered the planet razed from orbit. The turbolaser fire sent Thorne's stormtroopers into chaos, and Nolan found himself armed with an Imperial blaster. When Thorne tried to kill Luke, Gillmunn fired his weapon. Thorne died from his injuries, and Gillmunn and the Loyalists were able to escape. Nolan politely refused Luke's offer to remain on Jabiim and help the rebels secure their positions, claiming that Luke's assistance in defeating Thorne had redeemed the Skywalker name. Gillmunn then politely refused Luke's offer to join the Allaince, choosing to focus his energies on rebuilding Jabiim instead. (SWESF)

Gillmunn, Orliss
This Jabiimite led the faction which remained loyal to the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. As hostilities on Jabiim reached a head some twelve months into the conflict, Gillmunn was caught in the crossfire at Shelter Base. He survived that initial assault, and was able to rally the surviving troops to a staging point at Monsoon Mesa. There, they were forced to hope for an extraction force to rescue them. Luckily, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was able to communicate with Anakin Skywalker, who led the rescue mission and ensured that the survivors were able to get off-planet after forty-three days of fighting. When Anakin was forced to limit the number of survivors when two of the rescue ships were damaged on approach to Jabiim, Gillmunn lashed out in anger at the decision to leave the Jabiimites behind. He blamed Anakin and the Republic for bringing the war to Jabiim, and threatened to shoot the young Jedi in order to get off the planet. Anakin, in an angry fit, used the Force to briefly strangle Gillmunn, forcing him to drop his weapon and stand down. As Anakin and the troopers of the Republic lifted off, Gillmunn swore that he and his people would never forget their betrayal. Like many Jabiimite Loyalists, Gillmunn continued to fight against the Separatists, although his son Nolan often questioned his orders. Gillmunn was killed in battle at the High Rock Canyon, where he believed that Loyalist forces had trapped the main Separatist force. However, the Separatists unleashed a deadly virus, which killed the Jabiimites but had no effect on their own battle droids. Gillmunn and his team were believed to have died in the canyon from the virus, although Nolan witnessed his father's execution at the hands of Governor Thorne Kraym. (SWI69, RBJ, SWESF)

Gillom
This was a species of fish-eating birds of prey which was native to the planet Ithor. (GCG)

Gillom
This was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name referred to a fish-eating bird of prey. (GCG)

Gilloma
This Ithorian worked on the planet Almas, during the era of the Battle of Naboo, as a researcher working to understand the kaluthin grass which covered the planet. Gilloma was educated at the Alderaan University, and taught there for twelve years before transferring to Almas. He had grown tired of students who were slow to understand his teaching, and decided that field research for the Almas Academy would bring more value to his life. (LFC)

Gilly
This man and his twin brother, Spence, joined the Erased in the wake of the Clone Wars. They helped out wherever they could, but they refused to reveal any details about their past to their fellow outcasts. Both brothers were short and stocky in stature, and were never seen without some form of makeshift weaponry in their hands. Like many of his fellow Erased, Gilly wanted to locate Solace and find peace, so he was more than willing to accompany Ferus Olin and Trever Flume on their search. After locating the Solace and identifying her as the former Jedi Fy-Tor-Ana, Ferus and Trever set out to return to the surface and prevent Inquisitor Malorum from locating them. Gilly and the other members of the Erased remained behind in the underground settlement, but found themselves under attack by the agents sent by Malorum. Gilly was later found among the dead who perished in the attack. (LJ3, LJ4)

Gilp
This young being was a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. (YDR)

Gilt Gushers
Located on the planet Abregado-rae, this Gilt Gushers were a collection of natural tributary springs and fountains located in the wilderness. They were named for the fact that, every once in a while, flakes of pure electrum would bubble to the surface. Many prospectors went mad trying to locate a fountain just when it brought electrum to the surface. (CCW)

Giltella Air Base
One of the two bases located near the city of Cartann, on the planet Adumar. (SOA)

Gilvent, Cene
This Ocsinin female was known as an accomplished martial artist. She was skilled in a variety of forms of sword combat, including Teelar and Kartranin. She grew up on Saclas, raising pet slimes in order to earn enough credits to buy passage to the Mid Rim. Once offworld, she found employment with the Zuliria Museum of Antiquities, where she was charged with maintaining the many displays and properties of the museum. While working at the museum, Cene met Ther-das, who recognized her skills and asked her to join the Zulirian Swordmasters. While with the Swordmasters, she earned the respect of Mlatar Than Gra, who hand-forged her signature weapon, the Soknar. (AIR)

Gilyad, Bahm
This ancient man established the rules and responsibilities for the medical profession some 5,000 years before the Clone Wars, documenting them in a form that they retained for millennia. In addition to his rules, Gilyad also documented a number of anecdotes for maintaining the physician's own mental and physical health. (MBS)

Gimble, Lokk
This male Ugnaught was a member of Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The Corporate Alliance issued a bounty for his capture in connection with the theft of classified chemical manufacturing information that was later used in the production of death sticks, which were later discovered to have been laced with deadly neurotoxins. This bounty was eventually claimed by Jango Fett, who managed to locate Gimble and his partner, "Ratchet" Gramzee, on Malastare during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Gimer
This plant, native to the planet Dagobah, had a bark which provided succulent juice when chewed. The bark contained certain chemicals that had anesthetic properties. Gimer sticks were favored by Yoda, who believed the plant's juice aided in meditation. In reality, they probably relieved some of the pain of aging, allowing the Jedi Master to concentrate. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game: Dagobah indicates that the gimer stick was a symbol of a Jedi Master's ancient wisdom. Also note that Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary indicates that Yoda's gimer walking stick was a gift from the Wookiees of Kashyyyk. (E5, CCG4, GF, VD1, IWST, CVD)

Gimlet
This grey-skinned alien, distinguished by his knobbed skull and fan-like mouth, posed a reporter for the Holopix News agency on Challon, during the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. As a reporter, Gimlet was able to get close enough to Leia Organa to protect her from an assassination plot. At the time, Gimlet was serving as an assistant to Giles Durane, who had been hired by Bail Organa to train Leia in the use of weapons. After Leia completed her training, Gimlet secretly returned to Challon to ensure her safety. He intercepted Torgas' assassination attempt, but the Sakiyan assassin shot Gimlet in the chest. The small alien died shortly afterward from the wound. (MCI3)

Gimm
The second of two moons that orbit Genesia, Gimm was colonized in much the same way as its sister, Laut. Underground facilities were formed to allow colonists to survive on the airless rock, providing them with living and working areas near to - but not actually located on - Genesia. The colonists created the cities to escape from the corruption and crime which dominated Genesia. (FBS)

Gimmut Sewage Tunnel

Ginbotham
This Hig was part of Wedge Antilles' command crew aboard the Yavin, during the battle with the failed Jedi Dolph. Ginbotham was known among the New Republic's Navy for his piloting abilities. (TNR)

Ginder
This Bimm (whose name begins with a hard "G" sound) was born on the Tolea Biqua space station near Genarius. He was known in the Cularin System as a scavenger and information broker, and was more often right than wrong in his information. Ginder acquired the head of the damaged droid L80-RC, only to learn of the droid's association with Riboga the Hutt. Ginder tried to sell the head, hoping to reap great profit from selling information on Riboga's activities, but found himself targetted by a number of rival factions. Ginder was desparate to get rid of the information, and eventually turned it over to a team of freelance mercenaries. (WOA4)

Gindo
This male Herglic was hired to stand-in for Enni Anni - the kloo horn player for the band Distraction - at public appearances. (WOA28)

Gindoch, Qan
This dark-skinned man was a native of the planet Traflin. He was captured in a raid on Pendor Gyrr's criminal organization on Mantooine, but was released after interrogation. Since his release, Gindoch had gone into the smuggling business, often dealing in spice but also stealing weapons and selling them on the black market. (WBC)

Gingal
This inexperienced Mon Calamari was a Commander in the New Republic, served as Pash Cracken's commanding officer while on station at the planet Xyquine. When the Empire attacked the New Republic there, Gingal was unsure how to retreat. He began to order the fleet to retreat, but Cracken interrupted him before he could broadcast orders to the entire fleet - and to the Imperials waiting to attack them. Gingal didn't allow his inexperience to get in the way, and took Pash's advice. The resulting tactic became known as the Cracken Twist, and saved much of Gingal's fleet. (TTSB)

Gingenny Grog
A light, sweet beer. (SWJ11)

Ginger
This Alliance transport vessel was part of the small fleet that participated in the capture of space station D-34, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Ginger later tried to defend the station from an Imperial attack, but the Alliance vessels were eventually driven off, and the station fell back under Imperial control. (TIEP)

Ginger
This was one of the many young children who were brought to Ruusan to help the Army of Light fight against the Brotherhood of Darkness during the Battle of Ruusan. Ginger, like the rest of the Jedi, was killed when Lord Kaan activated his thought bomb. (JVS)

Gingerbell
This flowering plant was native to the planet Alderaan. Gingerbells were popular because the plants only bloomed one day each year, and all plants found on the planet bloomed on this one day. Many public parks held festivals on this day, allowing children to pick as many blossoms as they could handle. (LJ9)

Giniras, Quaal Stavi
This legendary Bitthaevrian warrior was a Major in the Guiteica Militia, and was best-known for his decades-long feud with Major Zoul Lavor Xariv Lar. The pair fought each other more than 400 times, each time inflicting heavy damage to the other. However, both warriors were back challenging each other as soon as they healed. Over fifty years' time, Lar had defeated Giniras 212 times to Giniras' 211 victories. Only the fact that Giniras died of old age stopped the rivalry. In the end, Lar took one of his own elbow quill and imbedded it in Giniras' dematoil, which he buried with Giniras in the hills of s'Korth'an. (AIR)

Ginivex-class Starfighter
This was a form of starfighter produced by the Geonosians of the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective during the height of the Clone Wars. These ships were commonly referred to as fanblade fighters by the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, since the main wing of the fighter could be extended like a fan. This fan was a modified version of a solar sail, and provided the ship with additional power capabilities. It also provided a transmission plane for the fighter's onboard shield generators. When in stealth mode, the fan was drawn into the fuselage, giving the craft a slim, elegant profile. The fan itself was extended on the dorsal and ventral sides of the fighter during combat, giving the fighter a half-circle of wing that provided maneuverability.

The spherical cockpit was mounted in a cradle at the front of the craft, and a pair of support struts extended behind to support the fan. Unlike other Geonosian ships, the Ginivex-class starfighter was designed for human pilots. It was also unique in that it was equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive for interstellar travel. At the tip of each fan, which were made from the same material that was used on Count Dooku's solar sailer, was a double laser cannon. It was believed that only six Ginivex-class fighters were produced, all to fulfill an order to Dooku himself. Two were eventually captured by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars, and the remaining four were believed to have vanished with Asajj Ventress. The two ships taken by the Jedi were believed to have been destroyed when the Jedi Temple was razed during the so-called Jedi Rebellion. (SWDB, SSOG)

Ginka
This was a species of flowering plant, native to the planet New Apsolon. (CTV)

Ginntho
Also known as the Utapaun spider, this large arachnid was domesticated as a pet by the Utapauns. Each ginntho had six separate spinnerets, each of which was capable of producing an exceptionally strong silk webbing. Many Utapauns trained their ginnthos to spin webs on command, a skill that was put to widespread use in setting traps, during the Separatist occupation of Utapau near the end of the Clone Wars. (CVD)

Ginorra, Lexia
This young woman was a Jedi Padawan during the last years of the Old Republic. However, after she was abducted by a crimanl kingpin on Kamparas, she abandoned the Jedi Order after she slaughtered her kidnappers in order to escape. A search party was sent to Kamparas to locate her, by Lexia had fled into the jungles and did not want to be found. Eventually, she returned to Coruscant, and took up the mission of a vigilante, stopping any crimes she saw with bloody swiftness. Her reputation grew quickly among the various Coruscant police and security forces, and even the major crimelords on the planet nicknamed her "the Sith." (CCW)

Ginsbrack, Charls
This Alliance scientist led the hyperdrive research effort on the isolated moon of Barcola. Ginsbrack and his team were developing a new form of hyperdrive to help the Alliance gain an advantage during the Galactic Civil War. However, the new hyperdrive generated strange, hyperdimensional whirlpools that randomly took organic and inorganic items with it, including several of Ginsbrack's scientists. Ginsbrack himself was sucked out of existence, and the project was abandoned. (GMS)

Gintish
This male Chiss served as a security officer at one of the Chiss training facilities during the early years of the New Republic. (GMR7)

Gintwin
This being was a weapons collector who preferred to fire only his more modern weapons, for fear of older weapons misfiring and causing injury. (GUN)

Ginzork, Peert
This patient, experienced soldier was known as the brute force behind The Shield. His name was an assumed identity, created after he deserted the Imperial Army. He had been serving as an assault trooper when he went AWOL. He emerged several years later under the guise of Peert Ginzork and formed The Shield. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, he married Filice Ginzork. Peert was believed to be sympathetic to the Alliance, as many of his operations served to protect field agents and other Alliance sympathizers. (CRO)

Gion, Dara
This woman was the Commander and chief personnel officer of the Alliance's Oracle Base, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A native of Bacrana, she had never been part of the military until Moff Ramier wiped out thousands of protestors in Amma. Dara and her lover, Equa Felens, were injured in the battle, and they fled into hiding. They eventually joined up with Trep Reskan and the Bacrana System Defense Force, and later joined the Alliance with them. After Felens was assigned to a safehouse on Genesia, Dara lost track of him. (FBS)

This small starship drive manufacturer was subcontracted by the Corellian Engineering Corporation to provide the sublight drivers for the early YT-1300 freighters. (MF)

Gir
This was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Gira
This man, a red-haired Jedi Knight who was trying to get the last group of Padawan learners to safety during the Jedi Purge, was cornered by Darth Vader when the Sith Lord captured his starship. In order to ensure the safety of his Padawan charges, Gira agreed to join Vader and the Dark Side of the Force in return for their safety. Unfortunately, the Captain of the starship had already agreed to join the Empire in order to save his own life. The Padawans were all killed when their escape ship was destroyed, and Vader chose to leave Gira to his own fate. Gira, unable to reconcile the deaths of the Padawans against his own decision to save himself, took his own life rather than succumb to the Dark Side. (T12)

Giran
This Kadas'sa'Nikto worked with Malakili to tend Jabba the Hutt's rancor. He hoped to trap a krayt dragon and bring it to Jabba as a present. Unfortunately, Giran perished when Jabba's sail barge exploded near the Pit of Carkoon, when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa rescued Han Solo, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game indicates that Giran is a Kajain'sa'Nikto. (CCG7, SWI98)

Girawn, Regera
This noblewoman was a native of the planet Kruskan. Many years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War, one of her servants discovered an ancient Sith holocron in a collection of ruins that were found near the planetary capital. The servant turned the spherical object over to his master, at which point the holocron emitted an intense blast of purple light. This powerful light burned Regera's face and hands, then destroyed the holocron. However, the light also augmented her latent connection to the Force, and filled her with terrifying and confusing visions of the past, present, and future. She went mad with the visions, banishing her servants and abandoning her estate. She fled to the remote regions of Kruskan, where another vision told her of a starship that had arrived on the planet. She followed the vision and discovered a Galactic Republic exploration ship. Drawing on the Force, Regera convinced the crew to take her aboard, then slowly began to assert her own control over them. She ordered them to leave Kruskan behind and, following her visions, set out to create an army of Dark Side followers. She renamed her stolen ship the Awakened Eye. Her actions prompted the Jedi Council to begin searching for her, and the trail of dead bodies she left in her wake earned her several bounties. Despite this attention, Regera Girawn remained elusive and hard to find, and slowly built a small army of followers. She was eventually brought to justice by a group of freelance agents who, led by a Jedi Knight, tracked her back to Kruskan and defeated her in combat there. (WOTC)

Girdun, Heol
This man served as a Captain in the Coruscant Security Force, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Captain Girdun was later chosen as one of the CSF officers who were attached to the Galactic Alliance Guard. When Ailyn Habuur was captured in a raid, and it was learned that she had been hired by Thrackan Sal-Solo to assassinate Han Solo and his family, Captain Girdun argued that she should be interrogated until she revealed the truth. He argued the point with Captain Shevu, who tried to enforce the rules that were laid out by the Galactic Alliance, indicating that even the most hardened criminal was allowed five hours' worth of break time during a twenty-four hour period.

Girdun, a former member of the New Republic Intelligence agency, responded by asking Shevu if he would continue to stand on the high moral ground if someone in the Solo family were killed while Habuur was given her rest period. Thus, Girdun was dismayed, but not upset, when Habuur was killed by Jacen Solo's attempt to use the Force to extract information from her. In response to her death, Jacen gave Girdun permission to interrogate Buroy, the Corellian agent who was brought in with Habuur. As Jacen began to influence other aspects of the military, including the court-martialling of his twin sister Jaina, Girdun began to wonder about his motivations. He questioned Jacen's focus, and wondered what sort of game he was playing with the Galactic Alliance.

Girdun's actions, coupled with his former career as an Intelligence officer, made him less than popular with other members of the GAG. However, his experience with the Intelligence agency made him the perfect choice to assume command of the Galactic Alliance Intelligence Service when it was placed under the command of the GAG, following the arrest of Cal Omas. Acting Chief of State Cha Niathal chose Girdun to personally lead the Intelligence agency during its transition to the GAG. (LF2, LF5)

Girth-sash
This was one piece of many suits that were produced for males throughout the galaxy. The girth-sash was worn around the waist, and helped many overweigh males contain their stomachs. The girth-sash also served as a transition piece, breaking up the line between the top of the pants and the bottom of a shirt ot jacket. (HSR)

Gistang, Jes
This Corellian woman served in the 407th Stormtrooper Division, based on Yinchorr, nearly a century after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. She grew up in the streets, and would have been little more than another civilian, until the local Imperial Mission took her in and helped her clean up her act. Seeing a chance to repay the favor, Jes signed up to join the Imperial armed forces.

A heavy-weapons expert, Gistang was a member of Joker Squad, and was one of the many stormtroopers who quietly questioned their loyalty to the "Empire," after the Sith Lord Darth Krayt took control of the galaxy and exiled the former Emperor, Roan Fel. Thus, when Lieutenant Gil Cassel explained that their next mission was to eliminate the 908th Stormtrooper Division for defecting to join Fel, Gistang was the first member of the Jokers to openly question the order.

Nevertheless, the Jokers agreed that their job was to carry out their orders, and set out to take the 908th's headquarters building. The initial attacks were victories for Joker Squad, but things got harder as they penetrated the fortress. Shortly after Vax Potorr was killed by a mine, Jes found herself under fire from stormtroopers positioned on overhead walkways. One of the shots from above managed to strike the power pack on Jes' heavy blaster rifle, causing it to explode. Jes was killed instantly in the blast, which also injured Sereant Harkas. (SWLN)

Githany
This stunningly beautiful woman, a former Jedi Knight, was one of a few warriors who succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force during the early struggles of the Battle of Ruusan. Little information about her history survived the Battle of Ruusan, during which time she abandoned the Jedi Order and joined the forces of Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood of Darkness.

It was believed that she was taken in at a very young age by the Cathar Jedi Master known as Handa, who was also training a young man by the name of Kiel Charny. She eventually became a Jedi Knight, and served as part of Lord Hoth's Army of Light.

According to one legend, Githany was the warrior who brought a bowl of poisoned bloodsoup to Darth Bane, as part of Kaan's effort to eliminate the Dark Lord. However, Darth Bane admired her for her bravery, and chose Githany to be his own lieutenant in an effort to unite the Sith under one, strong leader. Before she could make a name for herself, Githany was killed when the Sith attacked the main Jedi camp. She and her cohorts rode swoops into the second wave of attacks, hoping to eliminate any Jedi who survived the initial blast. She was about to kill her former lover, the Jedi Lord Kiel Charny, but the forces of Valenthyne Farfalla shot her group from the sky. Githany survived to meet Charny in battle, but did not have to fight him for long. The youth named Tomcat, disgruntled with the Jedi's apparent weakness, decapitated Charny and joined Githany and the Sith. Githany later fled the Sith forces after learning that Lord Kaan had decided to use the thought bomb against the Jedi. She and Tomcat tried to escape Ruusan, but were trapped by the activation of the bomb. Githany herself was trapped in a cave, and fell to her death in a newly-opened chasm.

Another story, deemed more accurate by Jedi historians, told of Githany defecting to the Brotherhood of Darkness after gathering information about the Jedi defenses from her lover, Charny. She turned this information over to Lord Kaan, who agreed to send her to Korriban for further training as a Sith. At the Sith Academy, Githany met the troubled student known as Bane, and used the Force to help Bane recover his connection to the Force. Then, because Bane had been ostracized by Lord Qordis, Githany agreed to train Bane in secret, retelling the very same lessons she was given. In exchange, Bane agreed to help her defeat the Zabrak student Sirak, so that Githany herself could emerge as the academy's most powerful student. However, Bane was exiled from the Academy by Qordis, leaving Githany without his strength. She was forced to play a small part in Sirak's plans to destroy Bane, but ended up helping Bane defeat the Zabrak and his cronies. She continued to play both sides of every situation, insinuating herself into Lord Kaan's plans after the apprentices on Korriban were sent to reinforce the Sith troops fighting in the Battle of Ruusan. On Ruusan, Githany agreed to serve as Kaan's emissary to return Darth Bane to the Brotherhood of Darkness, although their plan was to kill Bane rather than allow him to return. Githany delivered the synox poison and returned to Ruusan, unaware that Bane had managed to survive. Kaan was angry with Githany's failure, but spared her life after recognizing her power. Thus, Githany was among the Sith Lords who were called together to create a though bomb, in a last-ditch effort to defeat the Army of Light. When she recognized that the combined strength of the Sith Lords would not save them from the bomb's blast, she tried to flee from the site. However, she was unable to outrun the devastating waves of power that blasted away from the bomb, and she was consumed by its blaze.

Note that her name was also spelled Ghitany in the Jedi Versus Sith comic series. (JVS, DBPD)

Gitta, Davon

Giver, The
This was another name for the Sunesi god known as the Maker. (BP)

Givin
This race of xenophobic humanoids was distinguished by the fact that its members carries their skeletons on the outside of their bodies. This exoskeleton helped protect them from the sudden pressure changes and periods of hard vacuum that occured on the surface of Yag'Dhul, their homeworld. This exoskeleton allowed them to seal their joints, giving further protection. A heightened sense of barometric pressure allowed the Givin to anticipate storms and seal themselves inside their skeleton. While protected in this way, the average Givin did not breathe. Many scientists have likened the Givin to Twi'lek string puppets in their appearance.

The Givin lived in hermetically sealed cities that were built to withstand the tides of vacuum, and their society grew around the intense mathematics needed to accurately predict the vacuum tides. This use of mathematics provided the Givin with the reputation of of being proficient mathematicians and strategists, a reputation that was only heightened by the fact that Givin used quadratic equations to greet each other. The Givin also had a fairly advanced technology, and were respected starship builders in most sector of the galaxy. During the Clone Wars, the Givin allied themelves with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, providing their shipbuilding talents in an effort to gain a measure of respect against the Mon Calamari. This provided the Separatists with access to, and control of, the Rimma Trade Route and the Corellian Trade Spine. It also allowed the Separatists to take advantage of the natural ability of a Givin individual to calculate hyperspace travel routes in their heads, reducing their dependence on navigational computers. (E4, GG4, CCG, SWDB, NEGA)

Gizer Gut
This was the name given to the transport vessel Leia Solo used to transport ailing Jedi Knights to Shedu Maad, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Leia's husband, Han, was flying with her in the Millennium Falcon, in an attempt to avoid being detained by the Galactic Alliance's forces. Han drew off a group of Galactic City Air Traffic Control vessels in a deft series of maneuvers that turned his erratic and dangerous flying into a media fiasco for the government. This allowed Leia and the Gizer Gut, loaded with the restrained bodies of the Jedi Knights, to escape Coruscant airspac and reach the Jedi base on Shedu Maad. (FJ3)

Gizer Pale Blue Ale
A lighter version of Gizer ale, Luke Skywalker kept a supply for visits from Han Solo. (IJ)

Gizka
This small, reptilian creature was prized among the Selkath as a source of meat. Gizkas were two-legged creatures that moved about by hopping from place to place. Their armless bodies were balanced by a stubby tail, and their bony skulls were crowned by four short horns. The large eyes and wide mouth of a gizka gave it an innocent, almost comical appearance. Gizkas could be found on nearly any planet, having been purposely or accidentally carried from world to world in the cargo holds of starships. Many xenobiologists believed that the gizka found on Manaan was a placid descendant of a more vicious creature that originated on the Unknown World of the Rakata. The Rakatan gizka, which appeared some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, was known for its rapid rate of reproduction, producing a new generation every few days. This ability to rapidly reproduce is common among most gizka colonies. The fact that gizkas were immune to radiation and would eat almost anything, including the insulation around wires and electrical components, made the creature a nuisance to starship and vehicle owners. These creatures could not be wiped out by bombarding a ship's holds with radiation, and could only be eliminated by using a specialized poison. This poison made the gizkas rabid, causing them to attack and kill other gizkas before expiring. The gizkas of Manaan were eventually commercialized as a source of food, and fried gizka steak was a tasty main meal that was favored by many beings during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. (PH, KOTOR, SWLL, WOTC)

Gjon, Honest
This M'Haeli was native to the moon Bogg 4, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Easily distinguished by the fact that his right arm had been replaced with a cybernetic tool extension, Gjon was definitely not honest. He was known to take in ships for repairs, only to have them "stolen" while he was working on them. Gjon then brought the ships to a fcaility on Bogg 11, where he scrapped them and sold their component parts on the black market, where they could not be traced. Honest Gjon nearly scrapped the starship Slave I, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, when a young Boba Fett asked him to repair a landing strut. Gjon was caught before the ship could be broken down, and forced to turn the ship over to Fett. (BF1)

Gladiator Assault Fighter
This combat starship was used by the Mandalorians who accompanied Boba Fett during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Gladiator was originally developed by FreiTek Incorporated for use by the Mandalorian Protectors under the command of Fenn Shysa, first as a patrol ship and then as an attack craft as the Mandalorians began to expand their sphere of influence. The mission profile of the one-man Gladiator was to travel in groups of four ships, which were slaved to a Pursuer-class enforcement ship for jumps through hyperspace. Each of these fighters was armed with four Bovin J-3F laser cannons and an ArMek SW-12c ion cannon on its nose. Military history buffs held that the Gladiator resembled a Rattatakian short sword that was stabbed into a Tlonian escutcheon. (WOTC, SWI80, LF2)

Gladiator Battle Armor
This prototype personal combat armor was developed by the Min-Dal Company, and secretly tested in the criminal pit-fights in the Soruus System. It was also known as JX4 battle armor.

Gladiator Walker
Designed after the Imperial AT-ST and its predecessor, the AT-PT, gladiator walkers became popular during the rise of the New Order. Produced by zZip Product Concepts and SecuriTech, these vehicles were single-person units designed to allowed the rider to fight in a tournament against other riders. Armed with a light laser cannon and protected by heavy armor and shields, gladiator walkers were relatively safe to operate. In the event of imminent danger to its occupant, the walker's computer system would shut down the entire system and notify other walkers of its "demise." (GFT)

Gladiators' Open

Owned by the Bimm known as Glah Ubooki, this small shop was located in the city of Glastro, on Bimmisaari. It sold rare and unusual items - mostly junk, but every once in a while a truly valuable relic - to anyone who happened to pass by. It was originally started when Glah Ubooki discovered the wreckage of an Imperial Research and Development vessel, and sold the parts he had salvaged to the Alliance for a tidy profit. He took the profits, and worked with his brothers to create the business. As the business grew, the other seventeen of Glah's brothers left Bimmisaari and started their own version of the shop, although each one claimed that his was the one-and-only Glah Ubooki's Strange and Wondrous Imports.

In addition to his facial appearance, Glaive wore heavy, metal gauntlets and leather armor which barely protected his heavily-muscled body. Despite his fearsome appearance, Glaive was also a Jedi Master. Glaive and his apprentice, Zule, were dispatched with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to the moon of Ohma-D'un to investigate the loss of a Gungan colony some ten weeks after the Battle of Geonosis. It was feared that the miners who worked the Naboo System had been armed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and had attacked the Gungans in order to secure the moon for the Separatists. Unfortunately, the four Jedi discovered a new form of combat droid had been sent to exterminate the Gungans. The droids were under the command of the bounty hunter Durge. When Durge captured Zule, Glaive was forced to stay his hand. Obi-Wan's actions allowed Zule to break free, but Glaive was unprepared for the sudden appearance of Asajj Ventress. Using her own lightsaber, Ventress beheaded Glaive before Obi-Wan could act. (RNFW)

Glandish, Muo
This small-time smuggler used to dive into the StarForge Nebula to avoid being captured by Old Republic forces, until he finally got tired of it and established a base on operations on an asteroid in the nebula. The base grew as more and more smugglers and pirates realized that Glandish had the right idea, and Glandish made a tidy profit skimming profits from the smugglers as "rent." The asteroid base grew into StarForge Station, and Glandish invested most of his profits into expanding and enhancing the base's facilities. Glandish was shot and killed by an old enemy who wanted a piece of the action, but Glandish ensured the continued freedom of StarForge Station by killing the enemy with his own returning fire. His groundwork allowed a succession of leaders and administrators to continue growing the station. (PP)

A seasoned Imperial commando, Glave was a veteran of of thirty or more heated battles before he was assigned to Klime. His face was severely damaged in a battle on Kestos Minor, when a blaster bolt shattered his helmet. The resulting explosion drove dura-armor fragments into his face, but he managed to ignore the pain and subdue the Alliance forces there. This event got him promoted into an elite group of troopers who were destined to become the Imperial Storm Commandos, and earned him the Imperial Medal of Valor. Glave led a group of stormtroopers to the Combat Moon, with the help of the Rabaanite traitor Andos Delvaren. It was Glave who battled Mika Streev and Sh'shak on the Combat Moon, nearly capturing them twice. Glave attempted to kill Sh'shak and shot the S'krrr in the thorax, but not before Streev and Leda Kyss stopped him. In the rescue attempt, Glave's arm was cut off by Streev, but not before Glave was able to fatally shoot Kyss. Glave and his Imperial forces fled the Combat Moon before Alliance agents could supplement the warriors. (SWJ9)

Glayyd
One of Ammuud's seven major clans, the Glayyd clan was the largest and most powerful on Ammuud during the early years of the New Order. Like all Ammuud clans, it was ruled by a Mor. During the early years of the New Order, the Mor Glayyd discovered that the Reesbon clan had begun negotiations with Zlarb and his slavers for a portion of their profits, in exchange for ships and services. The Mor Glayyd became angry at this, and vowed to expose the operation to Odumin. In order to prevent this, the Reesbon clan arranged for the Mor Glayyd to be poisoned, forcing his young son, Ewwen, to assume the rank of Mor. The slavers hoped that Ewwen could be forced to step down as Mor, allowing a more pliant individual to assume the position. The hope was that a new Mor would allow the slavers to eliminate the information stored in Glayyd family records, which were equipped with a self-destruct system to prevent tampering. It was later assumed that Zlarb had been the Mor Glayyd's poisoner, since traces of Malkite antidotes were found in the bloodstream of several Glayyd food-tasters. Meanwhile, Ewwen was able to retain his position as Mor when Han Solo stepped in as his champion, and the slavery ring was smashed by Fiolla and Odumin. (HSR, CSA)

Glayyd, Agmor
This man served as the Mor Glayyd, during the early years of the New Order. His assassination by poisoning left his young son, Ewwen, to take over as the clan leader. (CSA)

Glayyd, Ewwen
This young man was Ido's brother, and he held the position of Mor Glayyd on Ammuud during the early years of the New Order, despite the fact that he was younger than Ido. Distinguished by the henna-colored hair that was common in his family, Ewwen had been forced to accept the rank of Mor when his father, Agmor, was poisoned, about a month before Han Solo and Fiolla arrived on Ammuud to investigate the Corporate Sector Authority's slavery ring. Unknown to Ewwen and Ido, their father had been murdered in order to prevent him from exposing the Reesbon clan's part in the CSA's plot to cover up their slavery ring. Additionally, the other Mors wanted him brought down in an effort to reduce the Glayyd clan's power. In order to silence Ewwen, a plot was put together in which Gallandro was hired to pose as an offworld visitor working for the Corporate Sector Authority. During a reception, Gallandro approached Ido and tried to win her favor, but she refused his advances. He feigned anger, and struck her on the face. Ewwen was then forced to challenge Gallandro to a death-duel in order to preserve his clan's integrity, unaware that Gallandro was an expert duelist. As defined by the Ammuud Code, Ewwen either had to step down or fight, once he had issued the challenge. In his own opinion, either option was preferable to his maintaining the position of Mor Glayyd and spilling the beans on the Corporate Sector Authority's slavery ring. However, Han Solo intervened on Ewwen's part and made Gallandro back down. Ewwen then told Han and Fiolla everything he knew about the slavery ring, allowing Fiolla and Odumin to bring the ring to an end. (HSR, CSA)

Glayyd, Ido
This young woman was a member of the Glayyd clan, and was Ewwen's sister, during the early years of the New Order. Ido held a position of some power in the Glayyd clan on Ammuud, but was destined to submit to her brother's heredity claim to the position of Mor. She had the red-brown henna-colored hair that was common in her family, and was considered a tall, striking beauty. A few years younger than Fiolla, she was innocently involved by in an attempt to murder her brother, who was the Mor Glayyd at the time. A seasoned gunman named Gallandro, posing as an offworld visitor while working for the Corporate Sector Authority, had been hired to try and win her favor at a reception. When she rejected him, he feigned anger and struck her on the face. In order to preserve her honor and integrity, Ewwen was forced to challenge Gallandro to a death-duel, knowing full well that he was not a duelist. However, Ewwen was maintaining the secret his father had discovered, about the Reesbon clan's involvement in the Corporate Sector Authority's slavery ring. When Han Solo arrived on Ammuud with Fiolla, he agreed to serve as Ewwen's champion, forcing Gallandro to forfeit the death-duel and allowing the Glayyd clan to expose the Reesbons and the rest of the slavery ring.

Glitterstim
This photoactive form of spice was mined on Kessel, and was one of the most plentiful forms of spice found in the galaxy. Originally discovered on Kessel a few millennia before the Battle of Yavin, glitterstim was a byproduct of the digestion of the spice grub. In its inert form, it crystallized into small, transparent, black fibers. The fibers appeared to be almost alive, twisting and curling after being removed from their rocky veins. It took a delicate hand to uncurl the fibers, because although the fibers were flexible, they were also very brittle. Individual fibers were stored in light-tight containers. This work was time- and labor-intensive, and contributed directly to the high cost of glitterstim on the market. When exposed to light, the glitterstim spice was said to ripen, becoming a pearly-blue color when ready for use. When consumed, it crackled and sparked due to contact with the light and saliva, and certain sloppy users often allowed the sparks to escape from their lips in a gaudy show. As it aged, glitterstim became brittle and powdery, and its properties faded with time.
