Planet - G (pt.2)
Source List & Abbreviations
Gbu
Gbu is an extremely high-gravity planet and home to the alien species
known as the Veubgri. Each Veubg is large and stocky, with six legs and
long tendrils used as manipulative appendages. Before Leia Organa Solo
visited Munto Codru she and her New Republic delegation met with
representatives from the Veubgri above Gbu. The meeting was held on an
orbiting satellite to avoid the negative effects of Gbu's gravity on
human physiologies. [TCS]
Geedon V
Located in the system of the same name, Geedon V is the site of a former
pirate base. Gallandro, the famed gunman, single-handedly took over this
pirate's nest during one of his early exploits. Years later, a food-
supply convoy of Imperial corvettes was destroyed in the Geedon system
by the Alliance. Rebel pilots used captured ships from Overlord Ghorin
during the attack, to be used in a later attempt to discredit Ghorin in
the eyes of the Empire.[HSLL, FP]
Gelgelar
A backwater world located in the system of the same name, Gelgelar has
no Imperial presence. The Twi'lek known as Loh'khar the Finder arranged
for transport from Kelada to Gelgelar for some Alliance operatives.

Gelviddis Cluster
An atypical type of sand is located on a world in the Gelviddis Cluster.
The unique composition of this sand allows Jedi to easily form it into
familiar shapes and images through the use of the Force. [COTJ]
Generis
Located in the Outer Rim in the Atrivis sector, Generis was the site of
the New Republic's Outer Rim comm center. After a fierce battle Grand
Admiral Thrawn's clone forces captured the planet, including the comm
center and most of the fleet supply depots. General Kryll and pilot Pash
Cracken were able to evacuate Travia Chan and her people during the New
Republic's retreat. [TLC]
Gentes
Located in the remote Anoat system, Gentes is the homeworld of the
pig-like Ugnaughts. The Ugnaughts lived in primitive colonies on Gentes'
less-than-hospitable surface until most left the planet to work at Cloud
City on Bespin. [MTS]
Geran
Located in the Mneon system, Geran is the homeworld of a near-human
alien species. The inhabitants of Geran have bluish skin and need trace
amounts of hydron-three added to their breathing air in order to survive
while away from their home planet. Their religious system involves a
belief in the Sky Seraphs. Animal life on Geran includes the flying
reptile known as the shell-bat. Sergeant Doallyn, one of Jabba the
Hutt's hunters, was a native of Geran. [TFJP]
Gerbaud 2
Located in the Sepan system, Gerbaud 2 was the site at which Admiral
Harkov attempted to resupply his TIE Advanced squadrons during a
rendezvous with the escort carrier Tropsobor following the Battle of
Hoth. The transfer operation was attacked by a united force from the
nearby planets of Ripoblus and Dimok. [TSC]
Gerrard V
Prior to the Battle of Yavin, segments of the Gerrard military staged a
Rebel uprising in the planet's main city of Harazod. The uprising was
brutally suppressed with orbital bombings from the Star Destroyers
Adjudicator and Relentless. At the time, the planet was ruled by
Governor Dannal and represented in the Imperial Senate by Senator Chelo.

Gerrenthum
The location of a small Rebel Alliance cell, disguised as an
accountant's office in a Gerrenthum city. [GG2]
Ghorman
Ghorman is located in the system of the same name in the Sern sector
near the Core Worlds, and was the site of the infamous Ghorman Massacre,
an early atrocity committed by the Empire. During a peaceful anti-tax
demonstration, a warship sent to collect the taxes landed on top of the
protesters-- killing and injuring hundreds. Tarkin, the warship's
captain, was promoted to Moff for this action. The Ghorman Massacre was
commemorated every year on its anniversary by those opposed to
Palpatine's New Order, and it convinced Bail Organa of Alderaan to join
the cause of the Rebellion. Years later, when an Imperial base on
Ghorman was being enlarged, an Alliance attack on a vital supply convoy
delayed the base expansion for over a year. [JS, DA, FP]
Gla Soocha

Glakka
Years ago, Jabba the Hutt and the Chevin criminal Ephant Mon were
partners in a gunrunning operation on an ice-covered moon of Glakka. The
pair planned to steal an Imperial weapons cache and resell it for a
profit, but were ambushed by an Imperial squad. They survived the attack
but almost died during the subzero night, when Jabba kept Ephant Mon
alive by covering him in the folds of his sluglike body. The pair was
rescued in the morning, but Ephant Mon remained grateful to Jabba for
saving his life. [TFJP]
Glythe sector

Imperial base. [DFR]

members of the Ylix militia, including the infamous gunman Gallandro.
[CSSB]
Gorbah
Imperial forces trying to conquer Gorbah suffered heavy losses from four
hidden fighter bases attacking in a "space-snipe" defense. When the
Empire eventually triumphed, the fighters abandoned their secret
outposts and fled the system. [SWAJ]
Grakouine
The location of an Alliance storage base. After Boba Fett was supposedly
killed by the Sarlacc, the Alliance towed Fett's abandoned Slave I to

with sixteen moons. [SWAJ]
Greater Plooriod Cluster
The Greater Plooriod Cluster (located within the Greater Plooriod
sector) is a large area containing the planet Corsin, which was the site
of prestigious swoop races until its occupation by the Empire. The
Plooriods also contain several vital agricultural worlds, and the
Cluster had been the primary grain supplier to the Empire in the sector.
The entire Cluster was formerly ruled by the ruthless Overlord Ghorin.
Following the Battle of Yavin, Ghorin agreed to supply the Alliance with
badly-needed grain, but double- crossed the Rebels by providing them
with tainted food cargoes. The Alliance responded by making it appear as
if Ghorin was cheating the Empire, and Darth Vader personally executed
the Overlord for his supposed treason on the planet Plooriod III. The
sector also contains Imperial Drydock IV, from which several
Interdictor cruisers departed to join the Outer Rim Imperial fleet.

many planets that surrendered to Admiral Ackbar and the Alliance fleet
in the years following the Battle of Endor. [DESB]
Gromas system
Several small moons in the Gromas system contain the rare metal known as
Phrik. The Empire constructed a mining facility on one moon, to produce
Phrik for use in armoring the Dark Troopers. Following the Battle of
Yavin, Alliance agent Kyle Katarn completely destroyed this facility
with a sequencer charge. [DF]
Gruvia
Located in the Expansion Region. The smuggler Platt Okeefe smuggled

Antilles' parents were managers of a fueling depot in outer Gus Treta
until they were killed in a fueling mishap caused by a fleeing pirate
ship. [MTS]
Gyndine
Gyndine is an Imperial territorial administrative world, which has the
nearby Circarpous system under its jurisdiction. It is ruled by the
obese Imperial governor Bin Essada. Cargo ships are known to make
deliveries of denta beans to Gyndine's grain market, and animal life on
the planet includes the dangerous ethersquid. During the Imperial Mutiny
six years after the Battle of Endor, Gyndine protected itself by
becoming a "Fortress World," guarded by planetary shields and a fleet of
thirty defensive ships. [SME, SWAJ, DESB]
