Unidentified Weequay pirate (Gigor)

A Weequay was a pirate captain during the reign of the Galactic Empire that discovered the Gigorans after many surveys of the planet Gigor by the Galactic Republic found it to be uninhabited. The Weequay pirate captain saw the opportunity to use the discovery towards their benefit, and so they tricked an entire home-clan into slavery and sold them to an Imperial labor camp as rare "Snow Wookiees".

Other slavers caught on to the ruse, and were able to enslave more home-clans, since there was little interaction between Gigoran home-clans. The Empire eventually deployed a garrison on Gigor to commence their own operations.
