GH-series Maintenance Droids
this series of egg-shaped droids was developed to work in the sewers of large metropolitan cities. (HAS)

Ghtroc Industries
an Outer Rim corporation that produced a series of stock freighters for general use. Their initial designs, including the Class 580 and the Class 720 freighters, were popular with independent spacers, but later designs lost favor with starship owners. The corporation went out of business during the Galactic Civil War, but their freighters continue to see use. (RPG, PP)

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)

Ghundrak
this Imperial served as the Moff of Thrasybule Sector during the height of the New Order. (ND)

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)

Giadean State Parks
located on the planet Chandrila, this collection of parks contained some of the galaxy's most stunning gardens. (SWJ7)

Giamel
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)

Giant Amorphous Bantha Breakfast Biscuit
rumors abound of these amoebic ruminants, although not all of them are 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)

Giant Bark Mite
this immense, bark-eating insect was native to the moon Rori, where it lived in large caves. It was a larger relative of the normal bark mite. (GQRG)

Giant Flog
this immense, well-muscled, barely sentient being was a gladiator who was owned by Kesivo during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Kesivo had purchased Giant Flog in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, but that was the extent of what was known about his origins. Giant Flog had very little command of speech, and could only croak a few words. He did, however, obey Kesivo's commands. Kesivo placed Giant Flog into the candidate pool for participation in the Blood Sport of Rattatak, and Giant Flog survived the combat for nearly two years until Asajj Ventress appeared on the scene. It was said that he survived so long because he was actually a demon summoned by strange rituals, or that he had been pieced together from the body parts of dead gladiators. Just after the Battle of Geonosis, Ventress submitted her own name to the gladiator events in order to impress Count Dooku, who was searching for a new leader for his Separatist forces. Giant Flog was the one gladiator survived the longest during the match, and confronted Ventress at the end. The lightsaber-wielding Rattataki was too much for the simple-minded Giant Flog, who was quickly defeated. The mace he had been fighting with was severed from its handle and flew through the air, smashing into Kesivo's viewing box and crushing him to death. (SWDB)

Giant Fungi Forest
this forest was located on the planet Kessel. It was formed from huge, trumpet-shaped fungi which are large and strong enough to allow the inhabitants of Kessel to build homes and offices inside them. 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
this immense rodent was native to Dathomir. It was a favored prey of the rancor. (WSW)

Giant Woolly Pig
this feral, porcine beast was native to the jungles of Togoria. The giant woolly pig was distinguished by its heavy, curving tusks, which were equally useful in digging for roots and for goring any creature that threatened it. (MIS8)

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)

Gibb
this man served as the chief mechanic at the rundown starport in Lesvol, on the planet Prishardia. Several years after the Battle of Endor, he helped Fenig Nabon repair the Star Lady. 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)

Gibbtra, Pyro
this man was a scientist who worked for Sygor Startech Industries, until the time when he stole the plans to the Event Horizon engine design and hid out on Zirtran's Anchor. (LAA)

Giblo, Erdin
this man worked for the Corporate Sector Authority as the president of Commex, during the height of the New Order. A warrant for his arrest was issued by Chils Meplin himself, after intelligence revealed that Giblo had leaked CSA secrets to the Empire. (OWS)

Gida
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "female warrior" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)

Gida Luroon
this female Twi'lek, distinguished by her purplish skin and the scar running across her left eye, was working as a bounty hunter on Ord Mantell during the height of the New Order. She was about to leave the planet when she discovered that Renci Tosh had crash-landed in the wilderness. Gida Luroon remained on the planet, hoping to bring Tosh in, but was unable to secure her capture. (GMR1, WOA15, WOA37)

Gidd
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Gidd referred to a female warrior who, according to Cerean mythology, traveled from the stars. (GCG)

Gidd
this was the name of a female warrior from Cerean mythology. According to the myth, Gidd came to Cerea from the stars. This myth prompted many Cereans to believe that Gidd might have been an ancient Jedi Knight, who traveled to Cerea during the earliest stages of their civilization. (GCG)

Gideon
an Alliance officer, Gideon was in charge of one of the assault teams assigned to the Cobolt Offensive. (RASB)

Gideon
this man plied the spacelanes with his first mate, Keeta, aboard the Independent Class. (SWJ12)

Gidoo Zehow
this being was a noted doctor at the Rhinnal State Medical Academy, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Doctor Zehow was among a small group of physicians who refused to acknowledge the "medical benefits" of visiting the planet Columus, despite the marketing campaign initiated by the Columi. (HNN5)

Gieb
this surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "singer" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

Giedt
this man served the Empire as a Moff, and was ostensibly in control of the planet Tiss'sharl during the height of the New Order. He was killed shortly after the Battle of Yavin, although the exact nature of his death was never discovered. He was replaced by Commander Demmings. (SWEPP)

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)

Gift of Anguish
this Yuuzhan Vong warship intercepted the Nebula Chaser as it was trying to evacuate refugees from the planet Talfaglio. 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. (T)

Gig
this spacer slang word refers to a myriad of small ships designed for atmospheric or low-orbit operation. They are built as support craft for larger starships, and are often well-armed for combat. (CSA)

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

Gigor
this mountainous planet was the homeworld of the Gigoran race. (SWJ13)

Gigoran
this species of tall, furred bipeds was often confused with Wookiees. They 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)

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)

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
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. The Empire forced them 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
see Giju Run. (PGT)

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)

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

(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.

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)

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)

Gillad

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

Gilramos Libkath
known to his "children" as The Master, Libkath was a slimy criminal who worked the underworld of Mos Espa during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Rather than get his own hands dirty, Libkath kidnapped or stole young children to do his bidding. He implanted a tiny, eyeball-shaped tracer orb in their palms, for use in monitoring their activities. Libkath also claimed that, should the children try to leave the planet, the eyes would release a toxin into the bloodstream which would kill a child almost instantly. Libkath was easily distinguished from other Neimoidians by his sickly-white skin and dull orange eyes. His origins were unknown, but Ygabba believed that he had been exiled from Neimoidia. In fact, Libkath was this Neimoidian as Nute Gunray's assistant during the years which led up to the Clone Wars. Libkath was as pompous and conniving a Neimoidian as there ever was. Libkath made his living smuggling weapons and other valuable commodities, often hijacking shipments from Jabba the Hutt. This earned Libkath a substantial bounty on his head, for Jabba began to lose large sums of credits because of lost or missing shipments. Eventually, Jabba hired both Durge and the ten-year-old Boba Fett to capture or eliminate Libkath. Both bounty hunters cornered Libkath in the burned-out hull of a Theed cruiser near Mos Espa, with Durge disabling Libkath with a blaster bolt. Young Boba stole his miter-like hat and fled the ship with the children, while Durge set out to destroy Libkath. In his wild firing, Durge blasted a crate of weapons, setting off a huge explosion. It was believed that both Durge and Libkath died in the fiery blaze. Boba Fett returned to Jabba with the hat, using it as proof of his elimination of Libkath. (VD2, BF4)

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)

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.

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. (ESB, CCG4, GF, VD1, IWST)

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)

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)

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 has 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)
