Novian ruby

"Well, the truth is that I'm after a huge score.''" "How huge?" "''Huge. Bigger than huge. A collection of Novian rubies being kept in a safety-deposit box in a shielded vault on Gwongdeen."

- Mahjo Reeloo and Han Solo

Novian rubies were a type of very rare and very valuable gemstone. During the Imperial Era, the human Mahjo Reeloo recruited the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca to raid the Undervaults of Gwongdeen by falsely claiming that a vault contained Novian rubies. At the time, according to the pirate Hondo Ohnaka, Novian rubies had not been seen in over 30 years, and stealing them would be a worthwhile endeavor.

Behind the scenes
Novian rubies were first mentioned in the canon junior novel Pirate's Price, which was written by Lou Anders and published in 2019. In Star Wars Legends, Novian rubies were first mentioned in the 1985 comic book Ewoks 2: Rites of Power.
