Legend

this man was employed by Binring Biomedical, and was one of the leaders in the Imperial experiment known as Project Chubar, designed to create near-human intelligence in the galaxy's more primitive humanoid species. It was Tuzin who arranged for the Imperial officer Zsinj to obtain a majority share in Binring's operations, and who described the usefulness of his experiements. However, over time, Gast became too attached to his subjects, and feared for their existence in Imperial control. He staged a massive explosion in the Epsilon Wing of the labs on Saffalore, hoping to sacrifice himself so that the creatures could escape. Warlord Zsinj's forces managed to recover all but one of the subjects, either dead or alive, but this survivor was the Gamorrean Voort saBinring. Tuzin died in the explosion, which his neice Edda claimed was a suicide.
