Legend

one of Ammuud's seven major clans, the Glayyd clan was the largest and most powerful on Ammuud during the early years of the New Order. Like all Ammuud clans, it was ruled by a Mor. During the early years of the New Order, the Mor Glayyd discovered that the Reesbon clan had begun negotiations with Zlarb and his slavers for a portion of their profits, in exchange for ships and services. The Mor Glayyd became angry at this, and vowed to expose the operation to Odumin. In order to prevent this, the Reesbon clan arranged for the Mor Glayyd to be poisoned, forcing his young son, Ewwen, to assume the rank of Mor. The slavers hoped that Ewwen could be forced to step down as Mor, allowing a more pliant individual to assume the position. The hope was that a new Mor would allow the slavers to eliminate the information stored in Glayyd family records, which were equipped with a self-destruct system to prevent tampering. It was later assumed that Zlarb had been the Mor Glayyd's poisoner, since traces of Malkite antidotes were found in the bloodstream of several Glayyd food-tasters. Meanwhile, Ewwen was able to retain his position as Mor when Han Solo stepped in as his champion, and the slavery ring was smashed by Fiolla and Odumin.
