Legend

this was the nickname used by the Rutian Twi'lek who was born Gust Toruna, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When his parents disowned him, Turona took on the name Guster and set out to make his own way on the planet Cularin. He found work as a courier with the minor crimelords Vex, making deliveries whenever needed. Guster was brought in for interrogation at the hands of Vex's Trandoshan henchman Raptor after a shipment he was ordered to deliver ended up in the hands of Riboga. The exchange had been a set-up, and everyone else in Guster's team - Shilly, Nardakka, Kello, and Dusty - were all killed in the ambush. Guster himself claimed to have died when the speeder Shilly was driving was destroyed by Riboga's men. He remembered being thrown from the speeder and ending up at the base of a tree, where one of Riboga's thugs fired a laser cannon through his chest. The next thing he knew, he was alive again, although the evidence of the cannon's blast remained: his tattered clothing, the hole in the tree, and the scorch marks. Although Vex admitted Guster's story was the same each time, he couldn't bring himself to fully believe it without proof. Vex then had Raptor shoto Guster in the head, to see if he was somehow immortal. Guster died from this wound, but it was later discovered that he was one of the first beings to experience the effect of a timeshadow.
