Legend

this evil, mad scientist once worked for the Empire. A Shi'ido, he was the lead scientist for Project Starscream, and controlled the efforts of Doctor Evazan for much of this time. Gog was the primary developer behind the planet D'vouran, a project he began with his partner, Mammon Hoole, about twenty years before the Battle of Yavin. They received Imperial support for the project, and moved their labs to the planet Kiva. There, they tinkered with the ability to control life and death. When their experiments began to drain from the native Kivans, Hoole became alarmed. Gog, however, told the Emperor that everything was OK, and ordered the continuation of the experiments. Eventually, the experiment robbed the entire planet of Kiva of all life, including the native Kivans, and the experiment failed. Gog blamed the failure on Hoole, and continued in secret. He was though to have died on Nespis 8, after being captured by a dianoga living on the station, but reappeared on Kiva in hopes of capturing Hoole and maintaining control over Starscream. There, Gog activated the biological weapon Eppon, more to save himself from the wrath of Darth Vader than anything else. After destroying Eppon, Gog himself was executed by the wraiths of the dead Kivans, after D-V9 revealed Gog's transmission to the Emperor documenting the destruction of Kiva.
