Galactic Museum
This huge museum, located in Imperial City on Coruscant, has survived the various political changes that have swept around it. The museum is the home of many records detailing the Old Republic's growth as well as that of the Empire. There are a number of Sith and Jedi artifacts stored there. The Emperor Palpatine cut all funding for the museum during his rule, keeping the knowledge contained within from the public. He did, however, leave enough money for the museum to carry on his legacy. When the Rogue Squadron pilots infiltrated Coruscant following the Battle of Endor, they found a vast holographic display in which Darth Vader lamented over the death of Palpatine at the hands of the treacherous Rebels. Vader's image claimed that Palpatine was visiting a new "planetary ore extractor" - another name for the second Death Star - when the Rebels attacked. The image went on to claim that the Rebels were going to steal it in order to destroy Imperial planets, when Palpatine offered them forgiveness. The Rebels then killed him and stole the extractor. Much of this pro-Imperial propaganda was removed by the New Republic, following the liberation of Coruscant from Ysanne Isard, and was replaced with failry neutral depictions of the Galactic Civil War.

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.

Gallia, Adi
This beautiful, brown-skinned woman was a Jedi Master during the last years of the Old Republic. Born to Corellian parents who were diplomats on Coruscant, she was quickly recognized for her strength with the Force. After years of training, she became one of the twelve members of the Jedi Council shortly before the Battle of Naboo. She was known among the Jedi for her abilities of intuition and information gathering, and maintained a vast network of informants across the planet of Coruscant. Through this network, she discovered that the Trade Federation was planning to blockade the small planet of Naboo, in an effort to force the Old Republic to lift its taxation of trade routes. She brought this information to the attention of Chancellor Valorum, who requested that two Jedi be dispatched to Naboo to negotiate a settlement without the interference of the Senate. Although she chose not to use it unless all other options had failed, Adi Gallia owned a crimson-bladed lightsaber.

Gantoris
A descendant of the original colonists on Eol Sha, Gantoris was said to be sensitive to impending earthquakes, and was used by the colony to predict them. When an avalanche occurred during his childhood, many of the children and adults with him were killed while he remained safe from harm. Gantoris was later elected the leader of the colonists on Eol Sha. He was sought out by Luke Skywalker as a potential Jedi for his remarkable past. Gantoris tested Luke's motives and found them truthful, and agreed to go with Luke to Yavin 4 for training as a Jedi Knight. He was often at odds with Corran Horn, who was studying the Force under the alias of Kieran Halcyon. While there, Gantoris was approached by the spirit of Exar Kun. Kun showed Gantoris how to construct a lightsaber well ahead of the training Luke was providing, and also goaded Gantoris by telling him that there was more to learn the Luke's Light-Side prattle. Gantoris resisted Kun's mental grip, and was killed by Kun's spirit.

Geith
The Jedi Knight who accompanied Callista on the mission to disable the Eye of Palpatine, Geith was an excellent pilot as well as a Jedi. He was also very much in love with Callista, as she was with him. After a long argument, they both agreed that he was the only one with a chance to pilot a starship past the Eye's automated defenses. So, he left Callista on the ship with a promise to return with help, and took a Skipray Blastboat. He had nearly predicted the ship's automatic firing pattern, but a change caught him unaware. Once the Eye realized that its target was disabled, it trained all fire on Geith's ship, destroying it and killing him before he could escape.

Golden Globe
This mysterious, glowing orb was discovered by the Jedi Master Ikrit some 385 years before the Battle of Yavin. He was unable to penetrate its force field, and the energy radiating from it told him that no adult Jedi would be able to either. 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. The Globe could only be opened by a youthful Jedi. Adult Jedi would destroy the Globe and kill the Massassi trapped inside.
