Legend

this Phindian was one of the multitude of slave laborers employed by Offworld Mining Company to work on the planet Bandomeer. Guerra was part of the crew that plied the depths of the Great Sea of Bandomeer, when Obi-Wan Kenobi was similarly enslaved. Guerra had an annoying habit of making a statement and then immediately negating it with a chuckle, a trait which Obi-Wan used to befriend the alien. After Qui-Gon Jinn rescued Obi-Wan from the mines, Guerra overcame his fears and led the slave miners in a mutiny that succeeded in overthrowing Offworld's control and freeing the slaves. Obi-Wan later encountered Guerra again, this time on Guerra's homeworld of Phindar, after he and Qui-Gon Jinn were transported to the planet by Guerra's own brother, Paxxi Derida. Guerra had been hiding in the ship's hold during the trip, since both of the Phindians were wanted by the Syndicat that controlled Phindar. Guerra and Paxxi led a small group of freedom fighters who hoped to overthrown the Syndicat, but they needed the Jedis' help and were afraid to ask. After learning of the Syndicat's plans to take over Gala was well as Phindar, Qui-Gon agreed to help, but only if Guerra told him the complete truth at all times. Guerra agreed, and the Syndicat was eventually brought down. Years later, Paxxi and Guerra became the heads of their respective families, both of which were known for their large size.
