this Norak Tull was one of the few members of his race to reach a position of power within the New Republic Navy. He had been promoted to Commodore just before the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)

Greko
this man was a member of the Karazak Slavers Cooperative team sent to capture Janissa Locrin. (GG11)

Grelb
this Hutt worked for Jemba the Hutt and Offworld Mining Company, and was in charge of collecting slave laborers for use in the mines of Bandomeer. During the transport of slaves aboard the barge Monument, Grelb became suspicious of young Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Arconan friends, Si Treemba. He managed to capture Si Treemba, but the Arconan was rescued by Obi-Wan, who then implicated Grelb in the sabotage of mining equipment owned by Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation. When the Monument was attacked by pirates, all its travellers were forced to land on an uncharted world dominated by the draigons. There, Jemba and Grelb tried to eliminate Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn, but the draigons attacked before they could succeed. As Obi-Wan fought off the huge reptiles, Grelb tried to shoot him with a blaster. Many of his shots missed Obi-Wan but hit Jemba instead, killing the old Hutt by piercing its hearts. Grelb was captured and torn apart shortly after by a flight of draigons. (RF)

Greldo Farnor
this rogue Khil terrorist was active during the rule of Emperor Palpatine. He started out as a droid parts salesbeing on Alderaan, where he lived with his family. He was away on business when the Empire destroyed the planet, and returned home to find a rubble-strewn section of space where Alderaan should have been. He set out to make the Empire pay for the death of his family, and attacked Imperial scout ships and cargo vessels at every chance. Even after the death of Palpatine at Endor, Greldo Farnor continued to hunt down agents of the Empire. Many post-Endor Imperials believed Farnor was a member of the New Republic, and wsa provoking hostilities where they were least needed. (GG12, WBC)

Grelk Micabra
this Advozse was the champion swoop racer in the Corellian Sector during the last years of the New Order. (MTSE)

Grembae
this female Adumari technician was part of the armed forces of the Yedagonian Confederacy. She was in charge of readying the Blade-32 fighters of Wedge Antilles and Red Flight for battle against the Cartann nation. Her son painted Wedge's helmet to match that of his X-Wing helmet. (SOA)

Grenade Fungus
a dangerous plant found on the moon Yavin 4, the grenade fungus grew in arcs or rings of plants which spread across the floor of the jungle. When touched with even a light brushing, the blue-colored fungus exploded outward. Its brittle skin burst with a loud bang, and spores were be expelled in every direction. Often, the explosion of a single grenade fungus set off other fungus around it, resulting in a widespread explosion of fungi. Although this often was destructive to any structure or organism in the immediate area, this was the grenade fungus' primary means of disseminating its spores. Xenobotonists believed that the heat created by the combustion of the fungus helped to "jump-start" the spores, making them viable. Careful laboratory investigation showed that unheated spores never grew into a plant. (ISU, GG2, PH)

Grenal
born on Toola, this Whiphid was part of the group which agreed to travel to Neftali and serve as security guards for Memcha-Badawzi. Shortly after arriving on Neftali, Grenal earned the rank of Spearmaster, and assumed the position of chief of security. Grenal was also the spiritual shaman of the Whiphid population on Neftali, and often helped hunting parties search out prey on Neftali's barren ice flows. (BSS)

Grendahl
this Imperial Nay Captain was sent to Najiba, then Trulalis, to recapture Adalric Brandl. He had been ordered to recover the Dark Jedi by High Inquisitor Tremayne. (TFE, SWJ4)

Grendeef
this Imperial Admiral served as the commander of the Desolator, and was in command of the Imperial Naval base at Miser. As an individual, Grendeef obtained more personal pleasure from his work than professional pride. He was planning to use his command of the Desolator to perform some desparate action to prove he still belonged in command. However, when the crew of the Wanderer tried to reach Miser and present the location of Isis to him, Alliance operatives were able to reprogram the hyperdrive on the Desolator. The Star Destroyer was later listed having been destroyed when it rammed into rogue star G-138. Grendeef, and all aboard, were killed in the accident. (IC)

Grendel
a legendary space slug. (SWSB)

Grendel
this wing-clipped hornagaunt was a constant companion of the assassin droid 8t88, during theearly years of the New Republic. After 8t88's head was removed by the Sith minion Pic, Grendel decided to eat it, only to come face-to-face with Kyle Katarn. Katarn was searching for the droid to discover the whereabouts of the Valley of the Jedi, and was forced to cut open each of Grendel's three stomachs in order to retrieve the head. (SWMW)

Grendles
this man was part of the hunting party arranged by Jameson and Lajar Weqill. Unfortunately, Grendles was the first to be killed by a pack of crazed draagax. (COG)

Grendu
a dealer in rare antiquities, Grendu was the Bothan trader who sold Grizzid a rancor, which Grizzid hoped to give to Jabba the Hutt. Note that the Movie Trilogy Sourcebook lists Grendu as the owner of the rancor, and he only commissioned Grizzid to transport it for him. It doesn't say if Grendu was Bothan or not. (TJP, MTS)

Grendu
this was one of the many names given to male Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "hard-working" or "industrious." (GCG, WOTC)

Grendyl
this woman served in the navy of the Galactic Alliance aboard the Admiral Ackbar as part of the starfighter command team, acting on the orders of General Nek Bwua'tu during the blockade of the Murgo Choke, about a year after the Qoribu Crisis. When the commanding frigate of the Colony ambushed the Admiral Ackbar in an effort to take control of the vessel, Grendyl found herself between Admiral Bwua'tu and an attacking Alema Rar. Rather than see her commanding officer injured, Grendyl stepped in front of him when the Twi'lek Dark Jedi unleashed a volley of Force Lightning. Grendyl took the full blast of the lightning in the chest, and she died knowing that she had saved Bwua'tu. (DN2)

Greni
a Wing Commander for the New Republic, she commanded an X-Wing in Gold Squadron. (HTSB)

Grenn, Chandrex
this independent bounty hunter teamed up with Sirenas Firil in an effort to hunt down Pallas Quintell on Kallistas. A former Imperial researcher whose base was destroyed by the Alliance, he escaped being captured shortly after the Battle of Yavin and made his way to the Outer Rim. He took up bounty hunting as a way to locate his sister, who was lost in an Alliance raid on Shadren V. The two hunters managed to survive a firefight near Quintell's desert base and captured him, returning the rebel to Prefect Rinn for a 1,000-credit bounty. (GG10)

Grenn, Dol
this man served as a Lieutenant in the Telos Security Force, working aboard Citadel Station during the years following the Jedi Civil War. It was Lieutenant Green who imprisoned The Exile and Jedi Master Kreia, and confiscated the Ebon Hawk, when the former Jedi arrived on Telos in search of answers about Darth Sion. Grenn had them arrested after learning of the destruction of the Peragus Mining Colony. However, Grenn eventually set them free, after learning the truth about what happened to them at the Peragus II. Liuetenant Grenn then asked for The Exile's assistance in bringing several criminals to justice. (KOTOR2)

Grenna Base
this Alliance base was used by Daino Hyk as a treatment center for the rescued Ylesian slaves. (RD)

Grentho
this heavily-muscled man served as one of 8t88's bodyguards, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Grentho was killed on Nar Shaddaa when 8t88 tried to eliminate Kyle Katarn. Katarn had been trying to recover a data disk containing information stole from his father's farm on Sulon, and Grentho moved to protect his employer. Katarn calmly shot Grentho in the chest. (RAG)

Grenwick
this Imperial armed forces Corporal served as the senior tactical advisor to Sergeant Major Enfield aboard the first Death Star. Assigned to security duties in detention block AA-23, Grenwick was a witness to the interrogation of Leia Organa by Darth Vader. (CCG9)

Gresh, Avril
this man was at one time a farmer, working on a Mid Rim world for an agro-collective. However, he chafed at the demanding leadership of the group, and killed his direct overseer during an argument over his lack of production. Avril fled the planet, and eventually joined he Karazak Slavers Guild as an acquisitions specialists. He had an innate ability to track down a target, and was extremely successful in his new job. (GG11)

Gresh, Valken
this bounty hunter was once employed by Darred Eloinie twice in one week. First, Eloinie hired Gresh to capture the leader of the Neo-Fundamentalist Phlangites, in order to stop the protests of the work done by Eloinie Petro-Munitions. Several days later, he hired Gresh again, this time to rescue his daughter, Cyrstas, who had been kidnapped by the Phlangites. These missions, and many other hunts, were chronicled in Gresh's autobiography, Great Hunts I've Lived To Tell About. (GG10)

Gresholl-polyforim
this was the brand name of a medical supply. (FOP)

Greth Lan-Dwu Corporation
this was one of Coruscant's largest electrical power suppliers, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (IWE2)

Grey Damsel
this Mon Calamari cruiser was one of the many ships which supported the Alliance's Tak Base, on Talay, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. The Grey Damsel was under the command of Captain Bok when the Empire attacked Tak Base, unleashing the second-stage Darktroopers. Bok and the Grey Damsel managed to escape the ground-based destruction, but were boarded by a Darktrooper just as they jumped into hyperspace. The Darktrooper executed the entire crew, while the Grey Damsel continued on her course. The ship emerged from hyperspace near Tatooine and plunged through the planet's atmosphere. Without a crew, the ship crashed in the desert near the ruins of the Mos Espa Arena and was later scavenged by Jawas. The Darktrooper was let loose by the Jawas, and only the heroic efforts of Big Gizz and Spiker kept the Darktrooper from running amok. (T4)

Grey Gabaki
this was a form of spice that was created during the height of the New Order. It was popular among smugglers. (SWGAL)

Grey Wolf
this was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Greybird
one of the bodyguards assigned to Rivoche Tarkin when she went to the surface of Coruscant after she debarked from the Emancipator. (DESB)

Greylands Security Complex
located on the planet Tentator, this high-security prison was maintained by the Old Republic during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (JQ8)

Greymark
this many served as a Colonel with the Alliance, and was one of the chief duty officers at the base on the planet Arbra, during the months following the Battle of Hoth. (MC67)

Greyshade
this was one of the most powerful and wealthy families of the planet Columex. It was under the direction of the Greyshade family that Columex evolved into a major traading world, and eventually became the capital world of the Commonality. (GORW)

Greyshade, Diedrich
this man, a member of Columex's noted Greyshade family, served as the Imperial Moff of the Commonality during the height of the New Order. His loyalty to the Empire was complete, but he hated the fact that the Imperial Security Bureau considered his family to be "questionable" in their loyalties, after Simon Greyshade fled the Imperial Senate. Diedrich worked behind the scenes to discover the identities of any ISB agents sent to investigate the family, and often hired esponage agents of his own to discredit the ISB agent - all without any embarrassing ties back to Columex, of course. (GORW)

Greyshade, Jheramahd
this Old Republic Senator, a native of the planet Columex, was assassinated eight years after the Battle of Naboo. The elected representative the Commonality, he was thrown from his apartment at 500 Republica, and fell to his death. The fall caused a major pile-up of the repulsor traffic surrounding the building, forcing the Senate Guard to investigate the murder. Jheramahd was the cousin of Simon Greyshade, who was elected to succeed Jheramahd as Senator. Investigation into his murder revealed that Venco Autem had been behind the act, as part of a plan to ensure that the Financial Reform Act failed to pass in the Senate. (RHD, GORW)

Greyshade, Simon
this Columexi man served as the Senator from the planet Vorzyd 5, during the last years of the Old Republic. He assumed the role of Seantor when his cousin, Jheramahd, was murdered on Coruscant. He was one of the first Old Republic Senators to suggest that the Republic gather income from gambling activities, although his proposals were met with skepticism and derision. It was believed that Senator Greyshade's custom-built speeder was the vehicle appropriated by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, during their search for Zam Wesell on Coruscant, during the months leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. Years later, as an Imperial Senator representing the worlds of the Commonality, Greyshade oversaw the expulsion proceedings against Mako Spince at the Imperial Academy. He eventually became the Administrator of The Wheel, leaving the Commonality to its own devices after Emperor Palpatine dissolved the Imperial Senate. There, he maintained a level of neutrality with the Empire by paying huge taxes to keep the space around the station free of Imperial ships. Hopwever, when he discovered that Commander Strom was setting up a scheme to discredit the Alliance and take control of The Wheel, Greyshade demanded a partnership. He agreed to keep Strom's part in the deal a secret, provided that Strom allowed Greyshade to control Leia Organa. He also ran a rigged gladiator arena on the space station, and used the fights to ensure the deaths of Han Solo and Chewbacca, eliminating any chance of Leia's escaping. Ever the schemer, Greyshade used the distraction of the Big Game to launch an assault of his own on Strom's cruiser, ordering his own security forces to overpower the Imperial guards and recover the profits that Strom had stolen from a House of Tagge transport ship. He then drugged Strom and forced Leia Organa to submit to his will, and set out to leave The Wheel behind. However, he discovered that his own forced attempts at love would never reach Leia, who had the unforced devotion of both Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. However, Greyshade did find a loyal friend in the most unlikely place: his adminstration droid, Master-Com, which sacrificed two of its many bodies to ensure Greyshade's safety. Greyshade allowed Leia to leave, then killed Strom with a proton grenade before the Imperial officer could shoot him. Greyshade himself eventually died aboard The Wheel, some time after the Battle of Yavin. (DESB, MC18, MC19, MC21, MC22, MC23, HNN5, X2, RHD, GORW)

Greysor
this was a species of four-legged primate native to the plains of Naboo. These creatures moved about on all-fours, hunting by sight until a prey was located. The greysor's swift gait and counter-balancing tail allowed them to track down even the fastest of prey. Greysors have been domesticated by the Naboo, and were used primarily as hunting beasts. (WSW)

GRGC-800
this gravity treadmill was produced by Quarlitech Aergronics. It allowed the user to adjust the intensity of the gravity field in which they walked or ran, providing an adjustable workout. (GFT)

G'rho
an outpost planet colonized by Chandrilan settlers, G'rho was where Dev Sibwarra grew up after fleeing Chandrila. Unfortunately for the colonists, G'rho was one of the first planets subjugated by the Ssi-ruuk, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (TB, TBSB, GORW)

G'rho Defense Force
this small militia was formed from the settlers who traveled to G'rho during the New Order, and served to protect the small settlements from external attack. (TBSB)

Griann
this city, found on the planet Teyr, is located within the planet's Greenbelt region. It was an orderly city, laid out in a five-kilometer-square grid. It was hit by a cyclone about nine years before Luke Skywalker and Akanah arrived, searching for the Fallanassi. (SOL)

Gribbet
this Rybet bounty hunter worked with Skorr in attempting to capture Han Solo on Ord Mantell. (CSW)

Gricha
one of the many creatures bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong, the gricha grow in insect-like stages. As larva, the gricha are capable of consuming sand and other silicates and excreting a form of nacreous shell. As they eat their way to adulthood, the gricha form structures with their shells that are eventually used by the Yuuzhan Vong as dwellings or storage areas. Larger buildings, like the grashal, can be formed by a large number of gricha in a short time. (DTO)

Gricul Salvage Yards
this starship manufacture and repair facility was located in Meirm City, on the planet Sriluur. Although it was heavily subsidized by the Jatayus Trading Consortium, the Gricul Salvage Yards were owned by Xizor Transport Systems. (SSR, GORW)

Griddek
this alien race is known for its rigid social structure and belligerent nature. (POT)

Griek, Astina
a native of Hargeeva, this woman served the Alliance as a combat medic at Eyrie Base. She served under Doctor Tarrek during the height of the Galactic Civil War. When Astina learned that Ketrian Altronel had been rescued from Imperial torture, old memories flooded into her mind. She blamed Ketrian for the deaths of her husband and son at the hands of Imperial soldiers, soldiers Astina claimed had come to Hargeeva because of Ketrian's experiments. When she tried to kill Ketrian, she found herself involved in a struggle between Stevan Makintay and Niall Pedrin. She tried to shoot Pedrin, but he managed to get a grip onher blaster and turn it into her chest. Astina died from a point-blank blast to her chest. (SWJ10)

Grier, Stren
the son of a widowed trader from the Lesser Plooriod Cluster, this former Imperial scout was framed by his commanding officer just days before his term of service was up. He was implicated in several reports regarding the Giryulan Findings, and fled Imperial service rather than be executed. He found employment with Barosa Warren at the Galactic Outdoor Survival School shortly after the graduation of the famed Twilight Class, serving as Warren's personal assistant. He also proved to be a more than adequate survivalist, learning as much as he could from Warren. (AIR)

Grieves, Victor
this man was a standout within COMPNOR, and graduated directly to a position within the Imperial Security Bureau just two weeks before the Battle of Endor. He went to work for Governor Serdit Tount, patrolling the Outer Rim Territories and reporting on New Republic activity in the Rintonne System. (HR)

Grievous
this former Kaleesh military commander played a large role in the Separatist armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Grievous was easily distinguished by his tall, cloaked figure, with body parts that were formed from a highly-polished duranium alloy. Grievous' hands had six fingers each, allowing for a wide range of grasping patterns. Each of his arms could be split in two, and Grievous often fought with four lightsabers to thoroughly demoralize - and then eliminate - his enemies. The only thing that survived of his original form were his brain, eyes, heart, and guts, all of which were protected within the armored body. His eyes were a brilliant gold color, with a reptilian black pupil and surrounded by blood-red sockets. Everything about General Grievous spoke of a certain level of vanity and self-assuredness. Whereas Count Dooku was the politcal leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, General Grievous was the military leader of the Separatist armies. Grievous was a master strategist and weapons master, and was one of a handful of beings who were known to have killed many Jedi Knights. He kept many lightsabers attached to his belt to indicate his prowess, and he was a skilled fighter with a lighsaber. Little was known about his origins outside the Separatist camp, although his career among the Kaleesh was well-documented. He was an infamous commander who distinguished himself during the Huk Wars, a series of conflicts that ultimately ended when the Jedi Knights ruled that the Huks were the victims, and the Kaleesh were severely punished. Grievous was forced to witness the starvation of his people, before sustaining incredible injuries in an accidental shuttle crash. He was devastated by the unfairness of being injured in the crash after surviving all manner of combat and destruction, and briefly contemplated suicide. When the InterGalactic Banking Clan arrived on Kalee and offered to rescue the Kaleesh in exchange for his body, Grievous agreed to the deal. Grievous was recreated as a part-alien, part-droid monstrosity on the planet Geonosis, a transformation that was funded by San Hill and carried out by Poggle the Lesser, as a strange sort of gift to Count Dooku. Grievous' armored body was created in the image of a Krath wardroid, giving it a fearsome appearance. Instead of requiring sleep to recouperate, Grievous was provided with a stasis chamber in which he could literally recharge. His droid anatomy augmented his already powerful body and abilities, and Grievous was a quick study in the art of lightsaber combat. Dooku himself was surprised when Grievous proved to be a student who surpassed other apprentices after mere weeks of training. Although he participated in the Battle of Geonosis, none who faced Grievous survived to warn the Republic of his appearance. After Geonosis, Grievous was promoted to Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies, a position that put Grievous on par with Count Dooku. Grievous first appeared in command of the Separatist forces during the Battle of Hypori, then began a march Coreward along the Corellian Trade Spine. After the planet Duro was captured from the Old Republic, Grievous directly addressed the Republic, speaking in a Confederacy HoloNet broadcast that was tapped into the main Republic HoloNet. As part of the broadcast, Grievous forced Hoolidan Keggle to sign a surrender that officially gave the Separatists control of Duro. Then, after the tide of battle had turned in favor of the Republic, Grievous was order to launch an all-out attack on Coruscant itself. Aboard his flagship, the Invisible Hand, Grievous was able to penetrate Coruscant's defenses. Using knowledge provided by Darth Sidious, he was able to reach the location of 500 Republica and kidnap Chancellor Palpatine, despite a group of Jedi Masters who were protecting the Chancellor. Once this was accomplished, Grievous sent a specially designed and falsified message to Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had been on Tythe trying to capture Count Dooku. The message specifically called them home to help defend Coruscant, thus bringing them to the "rescue" of Chancellor Palpatine. The two Jedi managed to reclaim Palpatine, and Grievous was forced to flee the battle to Utapau. There, he arranged for the transfer of the Separatist leadership to Mustafar before being located by Clone Intelligence Units. Kenobi was dispatched to Utapau with a contingent of clones to find Grievous, who was alerted to the Jedi's presence shortly after his arrival. When Obi-Wan emerged in the midst of a hangarful of droids, Grievous initially let his MagnaGuards attack the Jedi. Obi-Wan quickly eliminated them, forcing Grievous to attack. Their battle raged through Pau City, until Obi-Wan managed to crack open the chest plates that were protecting Grievous' innards. With a volley of well-placed blaster shots, Obi-Wan was able to destroy Grievous and put an end to his reign of terror. Grievous was voiced by Matthew Wood in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, E3, SWI75, BF5, SWDB, LEV, OWS, VD3, E3N)

Griff
this young, Twi'lek male grew up in the Lower City of Taris with his sister, Mission Vao, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Although they worked together to survive without parents, Griff found himself drawn to the criminal underworld that lurked throughout the Lower City. He borrowed a large sum of credits from his girlfriend, Lena, to pay for a series of get-rich-quick schemes, none of which ever panned out. Lena finally left him, tired of his continued squandering of credits. Distraught, Griff abandoned Mission Vao and fled Taris. He eventually made his way to Tatooine, where he became a drone working for the Czerka Corporation. He was captured by a tribe of Sandpeople, but was eventually freed by the Jedi Knights who came for Iziz's clan. (SWDB, KOTOR)

Griff
the flesh of this deer-like creature, native to the planet Masterhome, was considered a delicacy by the Anointed People. The Anointed People discovered that the eaters which roamed the planet were attracted to the scent of griff meat, and used it to lure eaters away from their villages. (SWCP)

Griff, Amise
an Imperial Admiral, Griff was the fleet admiral who supervised construction of the Executor. Before this assignment, Griff had served under Imperial Governor Nox Vellam in the Bright Jewel System. He had planned to be promoted after Vellam was named Grand Moff, but he was reassigned in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. Along with Darth Vader, Griff sent a message to the Alliance, claiming that he held open a droid maintenance position that the rebels could use to spy on the shipyards. The offer was a sham, but managed to attract Luke Skywalker to Fondor. Griff later became first commander of the Super-class Star Destroyer, although he wasn't trusted by Vader or his Executive Officer. He continually questioned Darth Vader's motivation and authority, although the Dark Lord executed the Executive Officer for complaining too much about Griff's methods. Shortly after, Vader assigned Griff to command Jovan Station. Griff began to tire of Imperial infighting, and began to see the Alliance through non-Imperial eyes. It was during this time that Darth Vader began to plan his attack on Yavin 4, trying to rout the Alliance once and for all. Griff took control of the operation before Vader was ready, and mounted the attack himself. Griff was unaware that Vader actually wanted him to do this, anticipating the Alliance's movements and using Griff's actions to destroy the Alliance. Griff was killed in the battle when, in an attempt to drop out of hyperspace and engage the fleeing Alliance starships, he caused the Executor to crash into other Imperial ships. He, and much of the fleet were killed in the aftermath, and the Alliance had a chance to evacuate Yavin 4 and reach Hoth. (CSW, GORW)

Griff, Crix
this slippery conman managed to elude the authorities of Elrood Sector for many years, living just outside the rigid laws of society by using a variety of disguises and appearances to avoid capture. He was often employed by Boss Kaggle or one of the other criminals of Elrood, setting other beings up to take the fall for some form of crime. (PG3)

Griffon Squadron
this Alliance X-Wing squadron was assigned to assist in the defense of Ralltiir. Members of Griffon Squadron were ordered into the attack on the Star Destroyer Devastator. (CCG9)

Griffyn/Y2TG
this SoroSuub hyperdrive system had a hyperspace rating of 0.75. (EGV)

Griffyn-XTG
this SoroSuub lightspeed unit was available in all SoroSuub designs. Although it was a fairly basic drive that provided swift hyperspacial travel, it was designed specifically for use in SoroSuub vehicles, and suffered when installed in other designs. (GG6)

Grig
this is one of the main cities found on the planet Narg, and is the site of the largest private starport on the planet. TransGalMeg Industries maintained a large operation in this city, including a hospital and training center. TGM also housed its hygienic recycling facility in Grig, as well as its Personal Satisfaction Division. TGM security in Grig was lax because the natives of the planet never gave TGM any trouble. (TA)

Griggs, Kane
as a native of the Botor Enclave on the planet Kerensik, Kane knew only the cold, frozen expanse of winter until he attended an off-world Imperial university. There, he discovered a multitude of seasons, and the sensation of love. While at the university, he met Marfa Thorbin, and Alderaanian woman studying aquatic xenology. They fell in love, and Kane asked her to marry him. She agreed, and left for Alderaan to tell her parents. She was killed when Tarkin used the Death Star to destroy the planet, and Kane Griggs was changed forever. He left the university and returned to the Enclave, but his anger at the Empire continued to burn. He left his job following the Alliance's victory in the Battle of Endor, and served as a New Republic navigator on the Emancipator. He discovered new friends, a loving wife and child, but he forgot Marfa. (DE1, DESB)

Grigmin
this tall, braod-shouldered man was the owner of a one-man airshow that toured the backwater of the Tion Hegemony during the early years of the New Order. Grigmin was a few years younger than Han Solo when he employed the out-of-work smuggler as a maintenance mechanic and pitcrewman. Grigmin, a former heavyweight unarmed fighter, made his aliving by amazing simple people with simple maneuvers in a modified airspeeder. This galled Han as much as the menial labor he was forced to do, and Grigmin's entire demeanor simply grated on him. Thus, during a series of shows staged during the Saheelindeeli High Festival, Han decided that he had had enough. As Grigmin set out to amaze the native Saheelindeeli, Han flew the Skybarge - an old cargo ship - in his wake, easily mimicking Grigmin's maneuvers. At the end of the show, Han settled the Skybarge onto Grigmin's vessel, utterly grounding the unskilled show-off. The Skybarge was then awarded the best exhibit at the High Festival. (HSL)

Grigor
the Imperial Governor assigned to M'haeli, Grigor came under the scrutiny of Grand Moff Lynch early in the Galactic Civil War. When Lynch assigned Ranulf Trommer to spy on Grigor as an official aide, Grigor arranged to have Trommer tailed and arrested as an Alliance spy. Trommer was caught, but Mora intervened. The two were saved when Merrik and his companion, a disguised Princess Leia Organa, stepped in to clean up. Trommer was able to expose an illegal dragite mining operation being run by Grigor. Grigor was using common thugs posing as stormtroopers to guard the mines. When the Alliance caught wind of the Governor's mines, they mounted a raid on them, but were only mildly successful. They recovered many gems, but Mora was captured in the attack. Grigor discovered, though a routine screening of Mora's identi-print, that she was the surviving heir to the royal house of M'haeli. He claimed to the humans on the planet that she had agreed to marry him, shortly after kidnapping her. When Ranulf Trommer attempted to rescue Mora, Grigor used her as a shield while holding a blaster to her head. Trommer lashed out and kicked the blaster, which surprised Grigor. His finger contracted on the trigger as the weapon pointed at his head. Grigor was killed instantly. (ROC)

Grik Bisque
this thick, hearty soup was a favorite among the natives of the planet Aargau. (PH)

Gril, Pellna
this Lietuenant with the New Republic Intelligence agency was assigned to the Special Threats group, and was the primary source of data on the Fallanassi and the White Current. (CTD)

G'rile

Grimpen had been corrupted by Jabba the Hutt, and was performing brain transfers for criminals under Jabba's employ. This allowed Jabba to provide their old bodies to the authorities, making it seem like the crime lord was trying to become a good citizen. In reality, Grimpen had removed the criminal's brain and transferred it to the body of an unwitting monk or other captive of Jabba. Grimpen had tricked the victim into believing they were ready for enlightenment by having them walk across hot coals, which were simply lume rocks. The victim's brain was then placed into a brain spider droid. Grimpen also managed to lure Tash Arranda into his web, but his plans were foiled by Tash's brother, Zak. As punishment, the true B'omarr monks had Grimpen's brain removed and stored in a jar, never to feel the true enlightenment of the monks. (GOF7)

When a creature stumbled over these trailers, they quickly contracted inward, ensnaring the creature and drawing it toward the plant's main body, where it was slowly consumed and digested. If a creature struggled against the grip of these trailers, the gripleaf simply pulled harder. During the height of the Summertime War on Haruun Kal, arboreal gripleaf plants were used to hang the bodies of prisoners in the jungle, where they could be eaten alive by the various predators and insects which lived there. The bodies were too heavy for the gripleaves to pull up, but the plants stubbornly contineud to try and pull the bodies closer. (SHPT)

Despite the fact that he tried to rescue Arista Kabul from a Gran thug, Grissom was imprisoned by her father for fighting with the Gran. When Lorn Kabul toured the mines where Grissom was forced to work, the Gamorrean discovered the bomb placed in the mine by Seth Kabul. Acting quickly, Grissom tried to defuse the bomb, but eventually had to throw it down the tunnel. The resulting explosion killed Lorn, but Grissom managed to save Arista. They fled into the desert, and were rescued by the Jawa Tek. He devised a plan to turn the Jawa in for the bounty on his head, then he and Arista blasted the little alien out of prison. They used the bounty money to purchase explosives, and Grissom used his knowledge of the mines and Tek's knowledge of explosives to set them in place. After Arista confronted her uncle, Seth, and demanded that he remove her ankle bracelet, she then set off the charges. The explosions destroyed the Kabul Industries mines, leaving Seth with nothing. Arista fled Otunia with Grissom and Tek. (T3)
