[edit] Biography

Garnet was the captain of several smuggling ships during his career, including the Moldy Crow and the Dorian Discus, the latter of which was formerly owned by his late sister, Neena.^[1]

Garnet's co-pilot was Hawk Carrow, although at some point, he also used Wookiee Nagraoao as first mate.^[source?]

Some time prior to the Battle of Endor, Garnet visited the Forest Moon of Endor. While there, a short-statured Yuzzum named J'ywz'gnk Kchhllbrxcstk Et'nrmdndlcvtbrx sneaked aboard, accidentally becoming trapped. Garnet took a liking to the alien, which he nicknamed "Furball," and particularly enjoyed his singing. The alien stayed aboard for several months performing menial tasks for Garnet such as cooking and cleaning, and the smuggler was able to teach him a small amount of Basic. At a stopover on Nar Shaddaa, however, Furball wandered off, attracted by music played by a band, eventually joining them under the stage name of Joh Yowza.^[2]

During the Galactic Civil War, the young Rebel operative Selnia Harbright contracted Garnet to transport stolen Imperial medical supplies to the Calus system.^[source?]
