Legend

this human-replica droid was a blond-haired, blue-eyed female who served Prince Xizor. Guri was beautiful by any human standard, and she was also a highly-skilled assassin. Xizor had paid nine million credits to ensure her development, which was completed by the renegade scientist known as Simonelle the Ingoian, and she was the only one of her kind. Xizor made sure of that by exterminating her creator. The HRD body was designed to pass most forms of biological scans, so that Guri could move throughout the galaxy without being stopped. Plasteel bones and engineered organs were installed beneath a layer of skin created frpom cloned samples, and only the synthetic fibers that served as her muscles registered as "unknown tissue." However, this combination made Guri and incredibly strong and agile being, allowing her to confront any situation into which Xizor placed her. She was Xizor's right arm, enforcing the crimelord's wishes and maintaining the day-to-day continuity of his enterprises. She was disptached by Xizor to assist Durga the Hutt's assassination of Jiliac, and was also responsible for bringing the traitorous leaders of Orono Shipping under control. After Xizor was killed over Coruscant when Imperial forces destroyed his skyhook, it was believed that Guri perished in the explosion. However, Guri fled the planet and traveled alone for some time. During her private time, she decided to locate Massad Thrumble, hoping that the Imperial researcher could remove the programming that made her an assassin. Thrumble's work succeeded, but not before the Falleen Savan tried to recover Guri. Savan attempted to use a secret codephrase which Xizor had implanted in Guri's brain. Thrumble's reprogramming gave Guri enough information to recognize the phrase, but her new programming ignored it. Guri immobilized Savan and helped turn the Falleen over to the fledgling New Republic. Guri herself, no longer an assassin, fled Hurd's Moon and eventually met up with Dash Rendar.
