G-locks
a starship's protective restraint system for its passengers. (SME)
G-type Rotolaser
this outdated weapon is similar to a Gatling Gun. It produced coherent bolts of energy like a modern blaster, but it does so via a rotating galven tube. The tube collects energy as is spins, and ejects a bolt whenever the galven pattern meets the barrel. The resulting bolts of energy are relatively low in power, since the galven tube spins rapidly and doesn’t collect enough energy before it meets the barrel again. (SH)

The nostrils in their noses draw air into their primary set of lungs, while a secondary set of nostrils - located in their necks - connect to a thirs lung. This arrangement allows them to continue to breath while talking or singing. Their music is cherished throughout the galaxy; even Emperor Palpatine was said to be fond of Gacerite dirge opera. The Gacerites have a well-disciplined army, and they do battle with vigor whenever they compatriots play battle music.

This blossoming routine once nearly overrode the controls of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer in the Septevorres System. The NewsStack contained hilarious and derogatory stories on the galaxy's most prominent figures, including Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Jabba the Hutt. COMPNOR initially ignored the NewsStack, believing that its popularity would be short-lived.

Gallandro
the son of a commoner from the planet Ylix, Gallandro grew up unaware of the wars between his own planet and the nearby world of Goelitz. When terrorists from Goelitz murdered his parents while he watched, Gallandro was thrown into the world of violence. He was placed in an orphanage until he was old enough to sign up for duty in the military. He became an excellent soldier; he felt that to be anything less than the best was to end up like his parents. His hatred for the Goelitz made him sharpen his skills, and his victories became almost legendary. When a mission to attack a hospial went bad - Gallandro's quik reflexes made whirl and fire, killing an elderly nurse caring for several young orphans - he came face-to-face with the reality that he just didn't care anymore about anything. He was a soldier, after all. He was part of the forces that eventually defeated the Goelitz. Deprived of work but still highly-skilled, Gallandro hired himself out as a bodyguard, mercenary, and bounty hunter. He single-handedly hijacked the Quamar Messenger before being contracted by Odumin to kill the Malorm family, which he did with ease. He reached them on Matra IV just before a Malkite Poisoner could catch them, and Gallandro was also forced to kill the Poisoner. This got him into a feud with the Malkite Poisoners' Guild which lasted ten years. During this time, Gallandro killed more than half of the Guild's elite leaders. Gallandro was then offered a full-time position as one of Odumin's operatives while Odumin was a territorial manager with the Corporate Sector Authority. Gallandro arrived on Ammuud shortly before Han Solo and Fiolla, and tried to figured out the best way to deal with the possible exposure of the slave trade. He worked with Reesbon clan to determine that a challenge to the new Mor Glayyd would eliminate his power and and leads. Gallandro was hired to play the part of an offworlder who offended the Mor Glayyd's sister. The plan was to lure Ewwen into a death-duel, which he would surely lose, or force him to step down as Mor Glayyd, reducing his reputation. Gallandro was ready to kill Ewwen when Han Solo stepped in to fight for Ewwen. Recognizing that Han was a somewhat-experienced gunman, Gallandro opted to back out of the duel himself, rather than risk death. As he was leaving, he quickly drew his weapon and knocked out a number of holotargets, showing at least Han that he was an incredibly fast and accurate gunman. He re-appeared as Han was trying to leave Ammuud, overtaking the Falcon in an Authority warship. When he boarded the Falcon and ordered Han to fly it back to the spaceport, he also asked for Zlarb's data plaque. Han gave it to him, triggering the security case's neuro-charge. Gallandro was disabled, and Han neutralized him. Han allowed Gallandro to escape, which allowed Gallandro to set out on a mission of revenge against Han.
Gallandro's search for Han Solo continued until he was able to intercept Han on Dellalt. When Gallandro learned of Han's involvement with Badure and Hasti, he began making contacts with J'uoch and R'all, and was on the planet when Han and his group arrived to search for the Queen of Ranroon. Gallandro aided J'uoch insomuch as it allowed him to gain access to Han Solo. When the two met up, they eventually came to an uneasy truce, agreeing to split the treasue of Xim in return to Han's life. Gallandro never intended to go through with the agreement, and when he had Han Solo alone in the starship's, hold, he tried to eliminate Han. Skynx interferred, drawing Gallandro away from Han. When Gallandro tried to follow Skynx into the actual treasue hold, the ship's anti-weapons systems opened fire on Gallandro. He was incinerated by the combined blast of a number of laser beams. Gallandro was a gaudy dresser, and was known for his gray hair and long, droopy moustaches, into which he braided golden beads. (HSR, HSL, CSA)
Gallandro, Anja
this woman was the daughter of the gunslinger Gallandro, born shortly before he was killed on the Queen of Ranroon. He had met her mother on Anobis, just as the civil war there was breaking out. He left to find fortune and glory, and left her on Anobis. Her mother came from a mining family, and she was devastated when news of Gallandro’s death came. She made sure that Anja knew who killed her father, although she mistakenly believed it was Han Solo. Anja’s mother was killed in the early battles of Anobis’ civil war, leaving Anja an orphan. Anja left the planet as soon as she could stow away, and eventually ended up on Ord Mantell. There, she became addicted to andris spice, which helped to heighten her senses and skills as a warrior. She came into possession of an ancient lightsaber, which she wielded almost as well as a Jedi. A small woman with long, dark hair held back from her face by a rune-covered leather band, Anja’s lightsaber was acid-yellow in color. She eventually went ot work for Czethros, and jumped at the opportunity to exact revenge on Han Solo when they plotted to kill him during the 93rd Blockade Runners Derby. The attempt failed, but she confronted Solo and demanded he attone for her father’s death by trying to solve the problems on Anobis. She hoped he would die in the war, but he managed to survive. She then decided to join the Solo children on Yavin 4, in an effort to remain close to Han and help Czethros kill him.
However, the more she came to know Jaina and Jacen, the more she began to doubt Czethros’ motives. She tried to fit in with the young Jedi students, but she first battled to overcome what she felt was a small spice habit. However, she was unable to free herself of andris’ lure alone. She fled Yavin 4 by stealing the Lightning Rod from Zekk and traveling to Kessel, where she bullied her way into a hangar and set out to find a vial of spice. She hoped that one more dose would help her get beyond the pain of withdrawal, but soon found herself mistaken. A chance meeting with Lilmit later reveealed Czethros’ treacherous manipulation of her emotions, and she turned away from Black Sun. She helped Cilghal and Jacen eliminate a Black Sun stash of spice beneath the polar icecaps on Calamari, then finaly beat her addiction. She lef the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 with a new set of friends, and went to work for Lando Calrissian as a pilot. (ROM, TCC, CCR)Gallant

Gamgalon
a Krish crimelord who controlled the Morodin-hunting safari business on the planet Varont. This business was actually a front for his harvesting of Yagaran aleudrupe plants, and was highly illegal because Morodin were sentient creatures. He paid off the local Imperial Moff to maintain his lucrative business, which involved fertilizing the aleudrope plants with Morodin slime. This caused them to become a form of catalyst that could create blaster fuel that was even better than spin-sealed tibanna gas. When Talon Kaarde discovered the operation, Gamgalon nearly eliminated the smuggler. However, in a standoff that resulted in the death of Tapper Quelev, Mara Jade - also known as Celina Marniss - killed Gamgalon before he could execute Kaarde. (SWAJ, EGC, TFE)

Gamorrean
a race of large, green, pig-like aliens from the planet Gamorr, their history is a violent and bloody one. The female Gamorreans handle all of the necessary productive work while the males wage annual wars during the combat season. It is for this reason that the Gamorrean society is matriarchal. Gamorrean genealogy is the science of a select group of females who memorize songs and sotries that contain the complex history of each family. The six-breasted females often take a senior as well as a junior husband. They only used primitive weapons during the combat season, saving their more advanced weapons for off-planet use.
The males are broken up into four castes: the warlord (the most powerful male of his clan, usually married to the matriarch), the clan boar (any other married male that make up the clan's military leaders), the tuskers (unmarried males who have hired into a clan as warriors), and the veterans (old, retired males who have more often than not been injured and can no longer fight). Gamorreans also have a deep-seated hatred of droids. Their normal body temperature is 105 degrees. The planet Gamorr was eventually discovered by human traders, who were able to force the Gamorreans into submission through a series of 'negotiations,' and took the Gamorreans with them as slaves, body guards, soldiers, and bounty hunters. Jabba the Hutt employed a number of Gamorreans in his army. (ROTJ, SWSB, COJ, SWJ10)Gamorrean Hard Case

Gand
(1) a species of sentient life that has developed in the gases of the planet Gand. Able to survive in the various gases, they require special breathing apparatus in order to survive in oxygen-based atmospheres. The Gand have developed a totalitarian monarchy, and various colonies of Gand live in pockets of mist in the gas giant's atmosphere. When renegade Gand are sought, findsmen are sent out to locate them. When the Empire overran the planet, the findsmen were presented with advanced technology with which to hunt their targets. The better findsmen became bounty hunters.
The Gand hold their names in great reverence. A Gand who has accomplished nothing in his life is simply known as "Gand." When a Gand completes a task, they are given their family's surname. A further accomplishment provides the Gand with a proper name. Pronouns are almost never used, and are reserved for those famous Gand who have accomplished so much that their deeds are known by all. If a Gand does something to be ashamed of, or causes offense to another Gand, their name is reduced. It was discovered, after the Galactic Civil War, that the Gand have certain regenerative properties. (MTS, XWN, WG)

Gandder’s Spin
this starfighter maneuver involves the pilot of a fighter shunting all power to one set of engines - port or starboard - and applying full braking power to the opposite side vents. After a short period (about four seconds), brke power is cut to zero and thrust is cut in half and spread across all engines. The result is that the fighter spins wildly for a few seconds around its center of mass before shooting off on a new trajectory when the spin is stopped. Often, the maneuver is used as cover for a group of proton torpedoes fired at a target just before the spin begins. (SOP)

Gartogg
one of the Gamorreans serving Jabba the Hutt just prior to the crimelord's death, Gartogg was dim-witted even for a Gamorrean. Many deaths went unnoticed by Gartogg, who was easily fooled into believing that the dead bodies were, in fact, asleep. Ree-Yees led Gartogg to believe that the deaths of Ak-Buz and Phlegmin were part of a grand plot by Ephant Mon, and nearly missed the true nature of the real plots brewing in the crimelord's palace. He stumbled into Dannik Jerriko, and discovered that Jerriko was an Anzat. Gartogg tried to tell Ortugg that Jerriko was behind the strange deaths, but Ortugg believed that Gartogg was just being thick-headed, as usual. Unfortunately, Gartogg was right: Jerriko was trying to consume Han Solo's soup, and was building up a plot to get him close to Solo. Gartogg carried the bodies of Phlegmin and a B'omarr monk around as evidence, until the bodies were putrified and partially mummified by the harsh Tatooine environment. Following the death of Jabba, Gartogg was often seen wandering around Mos Eisley with his two "friends" in tow. (TJP)

Glitterstim
the form of spice mined on Kessel, it is a byproduct of the digestion of the spice grub. In its inert form, it is carried in small, transparent, black fibers. The fibers are almost alive, and twist and curl after being removed from their rocky veins. It takes a delicate hand to uncurl the fibers, because - although they are flexible - are also very brittle. Individual fibers are stored in light-tight containers. This work is time- and labor-intensive, and contributes directly to the high cost of glitterstim on the market. When exposed to light it ripens, becoming a pearly-blue color when ready for use. When consumed, it crackles and sparks due to contact with the light and saliva. It is the only known form of spice which heightens the user's latent mental powers. A user who consumes too much glitterstim often goes blind, and the substance is known to drive a Bith mad. (JS, JASB, TPS)

So, he curled himself up at the base of the sphere and guarded it until a young Jedi would appear to solve its riddle. This Jedi turned out to be two youngsters, Anakin Solo and Tahiri. They were able, with Ikrit's help, to determine that the Globe held the spirits of thousands of Massassi youths trapped by Exar Kun four millennia before.

a living community of sentient coral polyps on the planet Sedri. They are Force-sensitive, and use it along with their numerous minds to produce a continual source of energy for the colony. The polyps that make up the Golden Sun are revered by the Sedrians, and the Sedrian priests have some Force sensitivity and can sometimes communicate with the coral polyps. The huge mass of polyps, all in contact with the Force, has tended to create massive gravity readings near the planet, causing hyperspace travel near the planet to be somewhat hazardous. When the Sedrian priests enclosed the caves of the Golden Sun in the domed city of Fitsay, the Golden Sun was not amused. This construction cut off much of the water supply to the polyps, reducing the amount of food they could obtain.

Jabba’s nephew, and spent much of his early years fawning and grovelling at his uncle’s feet in hopes of obtaining some small part of Jabba’s empire. When Jabba died, Gorga was given control of Jabba’s bank holdings. In a cruel twist, Jabba had actually bequethed to Gorga a small bank, which contained a lowly button. Later in life, Gorga became smitten with the beautiful H'uun, Anachro. He employed Boba Fett to kill Bar-Kooda, as a present to Anachro's father, Orko. Orko and Gorga had never been friends, and Gorga hoped to remedy that and take Anachro's hand in marriage if Bar-Kooda could be eliminated. Fett succeeded, and returned Bar-Kooda’s body to Gorga. Gorga had his chefs prepare the body as the main course in a feast at which he asked for Anachro’s hand in marriage. When Orko learned just who dinner was, he heartily agreed to let Orko marry Anachro. They were married on Tatootine, and honeymooned on Skeebo. It was on Skeebo that Anachro was kidnapped and held for ransom by the Skavers and Kaptain Voor. Gorga once again called on Boba Fett, who was able to eliminate the Skavers and Voor, as well as Bar-Kooda’s older brother, Ry-Kooda, before rescuing Anachro. Just as Anachro discovered she was pregnant, Gorga hired Boba Fett to kill off Orko. He immediately regretted the decision, because he knew it would upset Anachro and complicate the pregnancy, thereby reducing the chances that he would have an heir. In the confusion that followed, Orko was killed by Ry-Kooda, who had come to exact his own revenge. The Koodan then turned to Gorga and Anachro, but Boba Fett managed to kill off the Koodan before any damage could be done. Shortly afterward, Anachro gave birth to a strong Huttlet. (BF, TJT)

These cones also have the ability to sense the presence of the Force as a vague buzzing. They come from a moon called Antar 4, and have an instinctual distrust of droids, for the droids' energy emissions foul up their sensitive horns. The Gotal have come to rely on their cones for a great many things and, as a consequence, they have a hard time interpreting the emotions of other races. This problem is rumored to have led to the Duinuogwuin-Gotal conflict. The one emotion most Gotal are sure of is love, and falling in love at first sight is a common occurance among prospective mates. When two Gotals mate, they do so for life and begin raising a family as soon as possible. The Gotal are a race of hunters, and have little or no political affiliations. They have one of the few societies which exists in a peaceful anarchy. The Gotal resisted entry into the Old Republic, but had absolutely no desire to join the Empire. (SW, TLC, DFRSB, GG4)

Large earrings, scarves, and jewelry were constantly changing his appearance. Many people are frightened by Wookiees, and the sight of a brightly-jeweled beast is often unsettling. Many of the jewels and trinkets braided into his fur had special, personal meanings. A large hoop earring was given to him by a Socorran smuggler. This habit was formed at an early age, when Grasheel was sold into slavery. Any possessions he did not keep close to his body were stolen. He maintained the habit after he was rescued by a group of Algor pirates, from whom he learned starship engineering. After a strange occurrance in a spacer bar called the Airlock, Grasheel ended up owning half of the Lumrunner, and he found himself in business with Shamus Falconi. Their partnership was a long and fruitful one, as they plied the spcae lanes of the Minos Cluster. (SWJ9)

Graveyard of Lost Ships
this collection of starships orbits a dwarf star. It was created over the years by Doctor Arakkus, and encompassed five interconnected rings of ships following the Battle of Yavin. Arakkus lured the ships near the Graveyard with distress calls, in an attempt to make other suffer as he has suffered. The ships which are lured to the Graveyard fall under the gravitational influence of the dwarf star, and become incapable of escaping its grasp. Like the Graveyard itself, the ships slowly plunge into the dwarf star. Most of the crews captured by Arakkus go insane and kill themselves. The Graveyard was destroyed prior to the Battle of Hoth when Arakkus trapped Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca aboard the Millennium Falcon. The three tried to help Arakkus escape the doomed rings, but Arakkus fled deep into the network of ships.

The grazer is a large, six-legged beast with prominent antlers on its head. These lumbering creatures graze the forests and plains of Ammuud, and are the favorite prey of the soarers. When necessary, the grazers can move with incredible speed. The Alderaanian grazers have been altered genetically to optimize muscle mass, and have become little more that living machines designed to process meat. A third species can be found on the moons of Yavin. Grazers and blerds were often used as first-generation creatures on terraformed worlds, because of their grazing habits and their usefulness as food sources. (HSR, GG2, DA, ISU, POT)

Great Hyperspace War
an ancient battle between the minions of the Light and Dark sides of the Force,
the Great Hyperspace war erupted on the heels of the First Unification Wars fought in the Koros System. The ancient Sith lords, led by Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow, fought for control of their minions while Sadow attempted to take control of the galaxy. Meanwhile, the Jedi Knights Odan-Urr and Ooroo tried to use Jedi battle meditation on the advancing Massassi forces, but the Massassi mind was too primitive to be persuaded. The Massassi, under the control of the Sith, swarmed the planet Coruscant, but the Jedi soon realized that the majority of their army was illusional. The Jedi quickly dispatched the true Massassi and free the planet. Meanwhile, Sadow had defeated Kressh in an epic interstellar war in the Sith Empire, but his forces were unable to defend themselves against the might of Empress Teta’s forces. As his commanders began to surrender, Sadow used the Dark Side of the Force to communicate with his Massassi spies. They executed Sadow’s enemies and took control of their ships, drawing Teta’s forces into the Denarii Nova. There, Sadow’s forces were eradicated, along with many of Teta’s ships, but ultimately the Old Republic was able to eliminate the Sith threat. Sadow was forced to flee, and later established his own base on Yavin 4. (DLS, FOSE)Great Jungle

Great Purge
the Yevethan name used to describe the extermination of all other races inhabiting the Koornacht Cluster. It was masterminded by Nil Spaar, who had planned it while the Empire was still using the Cluster as a hiding place for the Black Sword Command and its shipyards. The Yevetha took control of the yards, and repaired nearly 44 ships for their own uses. Then, Nil Spaar went to Coruscant to placate Leia Organa-Solo while maipulating her into a series of actions Spaar later used to his own advantage. He twisted Leia's words and deeds to his own ends, and managed to get a great deal of public sympathy and support while he methodically slaughtered the humans, Kubaz, and other races that were living in the Koornacht. The Yevetha believed that other races were inferior, and needed to be purged from the Koornacht, and eventually the galaxy. Some historians refer to this time as the Black Fleet Crisis, because the Yevetha used the recommissioned Black Sword warships to destroy civilizations in the Cluster. (BTS)
Great Pyramid
located on Rafa V, this building was the resting place of the Mindharp of Sharu. The only way to enter it was to use the Key of the Overpeople to "enter without entering." The Bearer of the Key was allowed to pass through the pyramid's walls if he properly inserted the Key into the Great Lock. Once inside the pyramid, the Bearer could "dream without sleeping" as the pyramid showed them the history of the Sharu before revealing the location of the Mindharp. The pyramid had the ability to monitor all who entered it, making various changes in size, shape, and time-line to adjust for the different lifeforms. When Lando Calrissian, Vuffi Raa, and Mohs entered, Lando was kept at his normal size until he approached the Mindharp, when he was reduced in size. He was also able enlarge himself to reach the Mindharp atop its twelve-meter-tall pedestal. However, Lando's sense of time was reduced significantly, so that what he thought was a couple of days in the pyramid was actually four months. Mohs, being the High Singer, was struck blind by the pyramid's power, allowing him to "see" beyond the limited knowledge he held as High Singer. Vuffi Raa was shrunk down to a miniscule size, but his sense of time was unaltered, since the pyramid thought he was one of the Sharu's automata. When the pyramid thought the Bearer was ready, it led him to a downward-spiralling tunnel which had the early history of the Rafa System painted on its walls. As the Bearer went deeper underground, the history passed through the early days of the Sharu. When the tunnel ended, it opened into a large chamber that held the Mindharp. The remainder of the Sharu history was depicted on its walls. (LCM)

Great Temple, The
located on Yavin's fourth moon, in ancient times it was the center of the Massassi civilization. When Exar Kun arrived on the moon and used the Massassi souls to power his own greed, he destroyed the Massassi, and the temple was abandoned to the relentless jungle. When the Alliance needed a remote base, it chose Yavin 4 for its huge temples, and set up their primary command center in the Great Temple. Following the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance abandonded the base, and it lay empty until Luke Skywalker asked Mon Mothma for a place to train the new Jedi Knights. She suggested Yavin 4, and Luke set up his Jedi praxeum in the Great Temple. The temple has five distinct levels, plus an observation level at the very top. The temple stood for several years before it was attacked by the Shadow Academy. The shields which protected it were destroyed by Commander Orvak, who also placed several proton grenades in the Temple. He hoped to bring the Temple down on itself, but his explosives only damaged minor areas of the structure. Luke chose to rebuild the Temple, rather than relocate, because it was still salvageable and it would help his students train and rehabilitate after the attack. A trader from Tatooine loaned the use of a ronto to assist in moving the large chunks of rock which could be found, and the Temple quickly began to retake its shape. (SW, DA, COTF, JUS, SHA, IJ)

Greedo
Greedo was a Tetsus Rodian, and grew up away from the violence of Rodia with his mother, Neela, and his brother, Pqweeduk. The Tetsus clan fled to an undisclosed jungle moon following the murder of Greedo's father, a noted bounty hunter, by the Chattza clan leader, Navik the Red. When Navik invaded the jungle moon, Greedo's family moved to Nar Shaddaa. There, Greedo became involved with Spurch Goa and Dyyz Nataz when he saved them from Gorm the Dissolver. Two Chattza Rodians, Thuku and Neesh, then hired Goa to eliminate Greedo. Goa lured Greedo into the underworld of bounty hunters when Greedo approached him about information regarding the Alliance team living on Nar Shaddaa. Goa agreed to teach Greedo if Greedo paid him his portion of the credits for the information on the Alliance. Greedo agreed, and Goa strung him along until they all ended up on Tatooine, applying to Jabba the Hutt for one of Jabba's many bounties. Greedo, much to Goa's mixed chagrin and desire, signed up to collect the bounty on Han Solo. Greedo intercepted Han Solo in the Mos Eisley cantina, overconfident in his abilities to capture Solo and collect Jabba's reward. Han secretly drew his blaster under the table and shot Greedo in the midsection, killing him instantly. It is believed that Greedo often padded his bounties, waiting for the person to commit further crimes before actually apprehending him in order to drive the bounty up. Note that Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina makes no reference to the fact that Greedo had already been a bounty hunter for some time, while the Movie Trilogy Sourcebook makes no references to Greedo being a rookie when he was killed by Solo. Although uncredited, Greedo was portrayed by Diana Sadley in Star Wars. (SW, TME, MTS)

Greelanx, Winstel
this Imperial Navy Admiral was in command of the fleet sent by Sarn Shild to attack Nar Shaddaa. Prior to the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, the Hutt clas Desilijic had sent Han Solo to offer the Admiral a bribe. The bribe was in return for information about the impending attack, and for allowing the residents of Nar Shaddaa to win the battle without making it look like the Imperial fleet had given up. Greelanx took the bribe, providing the information and devising a battle plan that gave the residents of Nar Shaddaa a chance. Shortly before the battle, Greelnax received orders from someone in Excomm to lose the battle. He suddenly found himself able to accept the Hutts’ bribe without compromising his position. However, the loss of the Battle of Nar Shaddaa was reported by Soontir Fel, and Greelanx came under the scrutiny of Darth Vader and the Emperor. Despite the orders from Excomm, Greelanx’s acceptance of the Hutt’s bribe was discovered. Within minutes of Greelanx’s receiving payment from Han Solo, Vader arrived at his offices. The Dark Lord of the Sith executed Greelanx for accepting the bribes as Solo hid in an anteroom. (THG, RD)

Griff later became first commander of the Super-class Star Destroyer, although he wasn't trusted by Vader or his Executive Officer. He continually questioned Darth Vader's motivation and authority, although the Dark Lord executed the Executive Officer for complaining too much about Griff's methods. Shortly after, Vader assigned Griff to command Jovan Station. Griff began to tire of Imperial infighting, and began to see the Alliance through non-Imperial eyes. It was during this time that Darth Vader began to plan his attack on Yavin 4, trying to rout the Alliance once and for all. Griff took control of the operation before Vader was ready, and mounted the attack.

the Imperial Governor assigned to M'haeli, Grigor came under the scrutiny of Grand Moff Lynch early in the Galactic Civil War. When Lynch assigned Ranulf Trommer to spy on Grigor as an official aide, Grigor arranged to have Trommer tailed and arrested as an Alliance spy. Trommer was caught, but Mora intervened. The two were saved when Merrik and his companion, a disguised Princess Leia Organa, stepped in to clean up. Trommer was able to expose an illegal dragite mining operation being run by Grigor. Grigor was using common thugs posing as stormtroopers to guard the mines. When the Alliance caught wind of the Governor's mines, they mounted a raid on them, but were only mildly successful. They recovered many gems, but Mora was captured in the attack. Grigor discovered, though a routine screening of Mora's identi-print, that she was the surviving heir to the royal house of M'haeli. He claimed to the humans on the planet that she had agreed to marry him, shortly after kidnapping her. When Ranulf Trommer attempted to rescue Mora, Grigor used her as a shield while holding a blaster to her head. Trommer lashed out and kicked the blaster, which surprised Grigor. His finger contracted on the trigger as the weapon pointed at his head. Grigor was killed instantly. (ROC)

Grimpen had been corrupted by Jabba the Hutt, and was performing brain transfers for criminals under Jabba's employ. This allowed Jabba to provide their old bodies to the authorities, making it seem like the crime lord was trying to become a good citizen. In reality, Grimpen had removed the criminal's brain and transferred it to the body of an unwitting monk or other captive of Jabba. Grimpen had tricked the victim into believing they were ready for enlightenment by having them walk across hot coals, which were simply lume rocks. The victim's brain was then placed into a brain spider droid. Grimpen also managed to lure Tash Arranda into his web, but his plans were foiled by Tash's brother, Zak. As punishment, the true B'omarr monks had Grimpen's brain removed and stored in a jar, never to feel the true enlightenment of the monks. (GOF7)

When a group of freedom fighters, led by Throm Elscol, raided the base, Groznik went wild and started killing an Imperial in sight. Throm rescued the Wookiee before the Imperials could shoot him, and Groznik initiated a life-debt to Throm. The two returned to Cilpar, and continued to fight against th Imperial presence there. When Throm was killed in a battle with the Imperials on Cilpar, Groznik's debt passed to Elscol. He remained by Elscol’s side through the liberation of Cilpar and during the negotiations for the Phantom Project on Mrlsst. However, Groznik was tricked into believing the ghost Jedi of Mrlsst was really Throm Loro, and was lured to Professor Falken's lab. During the New Republic’s attempt to rescue Professor Falken’s asteroid lab from Imperial control, Groznik remained on the lab and kept Loka Hask at bay while Rogue Squadron used the gravitic polarization beam to eliminate Hask’s Interdictor-class cruiser.

Once the prisoners were delivered to an Alliance penal colony, command of the Celestial was to be returned to Captain Gryphon. Rather than sacrifice her ship, Gryphon attempted to destroy the ship by sending into hyperspace with a damaged hyperdrive. The result was that the Celestial and her passengers were thrown into Otherspace. There, they were captured by Ber’asco and the Charon death cult.

Gulch, The
located within the Serianan Asteroid Belt in grid 867-3A4, the Gulch is the nickname of a huge cavern located within the largest of the asteroids. First documented by Korren Starchaser and his team, the Gulch was unusual in that it appeared to be partly natural and partly excavated by some alien race. On the surface of the asteroid were several runes and glyphs, many of which dwarfed Starchaser’s scout ship, the Jedi Dreamer. Detailed examination of the runes showed that they had been tooled into the surface of the asteroid. However, anyalsis of the composition of the asteroid revealed that the body is made up of extremely dense and resistant minerals. In the rear of the cavern was an alcove that contained several alien statues. This alcove was carved out the rock of the asteroid, which is all the most astonishing given the dense nature of its composition. The five statues could easily be carried by a human, but were impounded by the New Republic before further analysis could be done. (SWJ8)
Guldi, Drom
the Baron-Administrator of the Kelrodo-Ai gelatin mines following the Battle of Calamari, Drom Guldi fancied himself a big-game hunter.

They were eventually discovered by Luke Skywalker and Calista, but were again attacked by Wampas.

After establishing the Canyon Mining Facility, Bemm and his pirates soon became wealthy. He urgently requested that Luke Skywalker come to the planet Canyon to investigate the strange crystals discovered in the mines there - Bemm thought they might be useful in the construction of lightsabers. This was was all a carefully constructed ruse, as Bemm hoped to lure Skywalker into a trap and deliver him to Advisor Bregius Golthan. When Skywalker himself didn’t show up, Bemm captured the New Republic agents who did arrive. (SWJ8)

Gullipud
this flat-bodied, squishy amphibian is native to the swamps of Naboo. They live in the mud, hoping to avoid being eaten while foraging for algae and other plants. When excited or frightened, gullipuds quickly inhale great amounts of air and puff up like balloons. This helps scare off potential predators, and also makes them useful in the Gungan sport of gulliball. For some strange reason, the gullipuds enjoy being batted around with zaela-wood mallets. (GF)

Gunga Park
this was a large, enclosed, natural area found within the city of Otoh Gunga, on Naboo. (GF)
Gungan
this race of humanoid amphibians was native to the planet Naboo. The average Gungan has a tall, muscular body with long arms and short legs, and can exist on either land or in the water. Their heads are crowned with a pair of large frills that can be extended when frightened. Their eyes sit atop short, thick stalks. Many elderly specimens of Gungan grow incredibly large, to the point where their immense weight begins to compact their skeletons, which appear to be very porous. During much of their existence on Naboo, the Gungans took great pains to avoid contact with their human neighbors, and even built huge underwater cities to escape contact. However, fringe elements of both species realized that they couldn’t survive without the other, and specialized trading relationships were set up. While these relationships were not officially recognized by either government, they were vital to the survival of each species. The Gungans, like the Wookiee race, have a distinct concept of the life debt. Any Gungan who is saved by another being must submit to the life debt or be punished by their gods. Despite their amphibious appearance, Gungans are quite technologically advanced. Their immense bubble cities are found in the depths of Naboo’s seas, and are made up of groupings of round force-fields. The fields are permeable only to slow-moving objects, and can be penetrated by a Gungan walking through them. However, the force-fields hold back the incredibly pressures of the water that surrounds them. The Gungans also had an advanced shielding technology which they applied to small, hand-held shields as well as huge hemispheres that protected an entire army. Like the bubble fields, these shields were only permeable by slow-moving objects, and they absorbed energy like a sponge. (SW1, TPM)

Gurdun
this Imperial Supervisor devised the IG-88 assassin droid, and funnelled large amounts of credits into the droid’s creation. He gave Holowan a limited timetable on which to create the droids, which the Empire would use to eliminate targets that stormtroopers could not hit. A large man with an inflated ego, Gurdun personally went to the Holowan labs for the initial demonstration of the IG-series droids. He was greeted with chaos,as the IG-88 droids (along with IG-72) had escaped from their laboratories. Gurdun was forced to send out a warning to the galaxy, indicating that thelethal assassin droids were loose. After this fiasco, Gurdun was placed in charge of the Arakyd Viper probe droid project, and he negotiated to have the droids mass-produced on Mechis III. The droids had been commissioned by Darth Vader himself, to be used to hunt the commanders of the Alliance following the Battle of Yavin. Gurdun saw that he could also use the probe droids to search out IG-88, and put his efforts into the project. Once the droids were delivered, Gurdun was placed in charge of acquiring and delivering the computer core for the second Death Star. While transporting the core to Endor. Gurdun’s small fleet was attacked by IG-88A. The droid’s robotic troops quickly eliminated Gurdun’s stormtrooper escort. When Gurdun was captured by IG-88A, he went into a fit of rage and astonishment. The droid he had created actually was successful, but also very lethal. IG-88A left Gurdun aboard his crippled transport ship, and Gurdun perished when IG-88A destroyed the ship. (TBH)
Guri
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 purchase her, and was the only one of her kind. Xizor made sure of that by exterminating her creator. 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.
When Xizor was killed over Coruscant when the Alliance destroyed his skyhook, it was believed that she 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.

Gurtt, Tyresi
this dark-complected woman was one of the Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates who served with Jacob Nive and survived the Imperial assault on them. Her right hand was injured in an unspecified accident, and was replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis. She chose not to have it covered with synthetic flesh as a sort of badge of courage. She became the Captain of Nive's premier fighter group, Bolt Squadron. For her tactics in defeating the Harmzuay, which she acknowledged were Corran Horn's (who was operating under the alias of Jenos Idanian) she was promoted to True Invid and served aboard the Invidious. When Tavira was attacked at Suarbi 7/5 by the combined forces of the Backstab, the Errant Venture, and Corran's Jedi illusions, Tavira fled. However, Jacob Nive had gotten word to Gurtt that any members of the True Invids who were once Survivors were immuned under the deal he struck with Luke Skywalker and Corran, and those who chose to leave Tavira's service were welcome to those freedoms. She and many of her companions took the offer for freedom and left the Invidious before it jumped to hyperspace. (IJ)

Gutretee
this race of hulking, crystalline humanoids is native to the planet Isis. They are a primitive, single-sex, nomadic race that gains nourishment from the mineral deposits and other crystalline creatures on the planet. When Bail Organa arrived to make Isis a safeworld for the families of Old Republic supporters, some Gutretee tribes welcomed the humans. Other tribes hated off-worlders, and thus grew to dislike the Alliance, although they had no feelings for the Empire either. The Gutretee tribes are very aggressive, and physical combat has a large place in Gutretee ceremonies and rituals. The crystalline matrix of their bodies has two unique features. First, blaster fire simply bounces off of them. Second, the matrix of crystals within a Gutretee body contains all of their race's memories in exact detail. Thus, the Gutretee body is a huge data file. (IC)

this Mrlssti was the president of the Mrlssti Academy, a position to which he was promoted after Rorax Falken suffered his nervous breakdown. He was known for his beautiful, yellow and red facial plumage. He tried to extort money from the Empire by proposing the Phantom project’s cloaking device. When the fledgling New Republic also showed interest, Keela opened negotiations between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire. Wedge Antilles represented the Republic, while his old nemesis Loka Hask represented the Empire. An Imperial plot, involving faked video of Tycho Celchu and the imprisonment of Wedge during the negotiations, virtually assured Imperial control of the Phantom project.
