Gaxxan brain-slug

Gaxxan brain-slugs were creatures indigenous to a location in the Gaxxa system, a star system in the Inner Rim region of the galaxy. The creatures could be used to assassinate sleeping victims; such a fate befell the Zabrak mercenary Jurgan Kalta, who was killed at some point before the Jedi Civil War by one of his enemies that left a Gaxxan brain-slug on his pillow.

Behind the scenes
The Gaxxan brain-slug was first mentioned in BioWare's 2003 video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic in the item description for Jurgan Kalta's power suit. In 2008, the brain-slug was mentioned in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, although it is referred to as a "gaxxon brain-slug." This article assumes that the original spelling is the correct one.
