Gallinore - A planet in the Hapes cluster and home to the extremely valuable rainbow gems. The gems, actually silicon- based lifeforms, mature after thousands of years and glow with an inner light. [COPL]

Galpos II - GrimDeath I, a pirateship responsible for raids in the Woldona system, was the target of an Imperial spacetrooper assault before it could reach its destination of Galpos II. [SWS]

Galvoni III - The location of an Imperial military communications complex. Alliance historian Voren Na'al infiltrated the complex following the Battle of Yavin in order to gain more information about the Death Star project. [MTS]

Gamorr - Gamorr's varied terrain ranges from frozen tundra to deep forests, and it is considered quite pleasant by off-worlders. The dim-witted Gamorreans, however, care only for the vicious, bloody warfare constantly occurring between rival clans. Gamorrean sows run the clans and do the productive work such as hunting and farming, while the boars spend all their time training and fighting their rivals with primitive hand-axes and swords, vying for the attention of the Alpha female. Gamorr is also home to furry, bloodsucking parasites called morrts, that Gamorreans look upon with affection and allow to feed on their own body fluids. The first interstellar trading ship to land on Gamorr was utterly destroyed after five armies fought a bloody two-day battle for the right to do so. Procedures programs for those intending to visit the planet state only, "Do not visit Gamorr." Many Gamorreans are employed throughout the galaxy as guards, mercenaries, and enforcers, and some have colonized the Outer Rim world of Pzob. [SWS, COTJ]

Ganath - Hidden in a vast, radioactive gas cloud located near Nal Hutta, the Ganath system is completely cut off from the rest of galactic civilization. Their isolated culture has developed more slowly than the rest of the galaxy, and much of Ganathan technology operates on steam power. Spacers from Nal Hutta who attempted to penetrate the gas cloud never returned. The Ganathan space fleet includes the massive steam-powered battleship "The Robida Colossus." For years the Ganath system was ruled by King Empatojayos Brand, a Jedi knight who was rescued by the Ganathans after his ship was destroyed. Leia and Han Solo travelled to the capital city of Ganath after they rashly flew into the gas cloud in an attempt to escape from Boba Fett. [DE2]

Gand - Gand is a primarily gaseous planet and home to the alien species also called Gand. Gand society is composed of "pocket colonies" separated by enshrouding mists, and the Gand government is a totalitarian monarchy established centuries ago. Locating fugitives in the thick gasses is the responsibility of Gand "findsmen," who worship the mists and use religious rituals to lead them to their targets. Due to Gand's unique atmosphere, all Gand must wear some type of breathing apparatus when off-planet. After Gand and its slave trade were taken over by the Empire, the Imperials' advanced technology made the arcane techniques of the findsmen largely obsolete. Some Gand findsmen, including the notorious Zuckuss, have found work as bounty hunters. [MTS]

Gandolo IV - A barren, rocky moon located in the Outer Rim. A group of Wookiee settlers, aided by Chewbacca, were attempting to establish a colony on the moon when they were discovered by the bounty hunter Bossk. Bossk and his men, who were in the employ of the Imperial sector governor, abandoned their attempt to capture the Wookiees after Han Solo disabled their ship by landing on it. [MTS]

Garban - Garban, home to the alien species called the Jenet, is the fourth planet in the Tau Sakar system. Garban is a temperate world with high seasonal variance. Years ago the rapidly- reproducing Jenet wiped out most of their natural predators on Garban, which led to overpopulation and the colonization of the other worlds in the system. Jenet are quarrelsome, store useless items in a community junkheap, and have a massive bureaucratic government whose job it is to remember everything they can about each Jenet citizen. After Garban was taken over by the Empire many Jenet were forced to work as slaves in Garban's ore mines. [GG4]

Gathus - The twenty-five man skating team from Gathus played the planet Lafra in several games of a puttie series. Han Solo watched the final match while on a mission to Belsavis. [COTJ]

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 - The site of a former pirate base. Gallandro, the famed gunman, singlehandedly took over this pirate's nest during one of his early exploits. [HSLL]

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]

Ghorman - The site of the infamous Ghorman Massacre, an early atrocity committed by the Empire which was commemorated every year on its anniversary by those opposed to Palpatine's New Order. The Massacre convinced Bail Organa of Alderaan to join the cause of the Rebellion. [JS, DA]

Gla Soocha - (see Da Soocha)

Glythe sector - The Glythe sector contains the planet Valrar, the location of an Imperial base. [DFR]

Greater Plooriod Cluster - The Greater Plooriod Cluster contains the planet Corsin, which was the site of prestigious swoop races until its occupation by the Empire. [MTS]

Greeb-Streebling Cluster - A cluster located in the Ninth Quadrant, near the Senex and Juvex sectors. [COTJ]

G'rho - The outpost planet on which Dev Sibwarra spent his youth. This was apparently one of the first planets attacked by the Ssi- Ruuk. [TAB]

Gus Treta - A large spaceport located in the Corellian system. Alliance hero Wedge 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]
