Gizka/Legends

"Humansssss...taste like gizka."

- Anonymous Trandoshan

Gizka were small, reptilian creatures.

Biology and appearance


Whatever their native world, their extraordinary reproduction rate led to a fair amount of gizka on many worlds, even including uncharted planets such as Lehon, finding their way from the wreckage of crashed starships. It has been alternatively postulated that they came from that planet originally, spreading along with the Infinite Empire. Their exponential population growth led to them being considered pests on almost as many worlds as they inhabited.

They were the source for the delicacy, gizka steak. Some species of sentient carnivores, like Trandoshans, seemed to think that gizka were one of those kinds of animals that 'taste like everything'.

History
The Ebon Hawk once played host to a temporary colony of gizka, in an incident involving mishandled cargo, an Aqualish, and a Tatooine shipping company.

Behind the scenes


In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the gizka can be eliminated onboard the Ebon Hawk, using a pellet called Gizka poison. This poison can be obtained from various traders, most notably the alien trader at the Tatooine dock. Feed one gizka with the poison and it will attack and spread the lethal effect to its other specie-mates and the "Trouble with Gizka" quest is complete.

Another way to get rid of the gizka is to pay Nubassa in the docking area on Manaan to help remove the gizka. A dark sided character can force their way to getting him to take them for free, or to pay you for them.

Also, if the player is patient enough to wait until they arrive on the Unknown World, the gizka will leave the ship on their own.

On Yavin Station, there is a gizka that can be found there even before they are on the players ship. You can and kill it for dark side points.

"The Trouble with Gizka" is a play on the classic Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles".
