G'hinji

G'hinji was an elderly member of the Em'liy species native to the planet, Shalyvane.

Biography
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.

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, revealing the true history of Shira Brie.
