BiographyEdit

In 3 ABY, Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca the Wookiee arrived on Shalyvane to collect information concerning a late Rebel pilot by the name of Shira Brie. Shira had once told Luke that Em'liy marauders once slaughtered her people on this world.^[4]

Luke met the aging G'hinji inside of a cave near the capital city of Chinshassa. G'hinji told him that there had never been Human settlements on Shalyvane and that everything Shira Brie told him was a lie. The Em'liy were the only native species to the planet, and were once a thriving community until the Emperor sent a squad of Imperial TIE bombers to Chinshassa and laid waste to the capital city. G'hinji escorted Luke to a sacred site known as the Circle of Kavaan. There, Luke discovered a holographic recording of Darth Vader,^[3] revealing the true history of Shira Brie.^[5]
