Dur Gejjen

Dur Gejjen was born on the Core world of Corellia in 15 ABY, the son of Corellian politician Nov Gejjen. Gejjen got into politics at a young age, and became an elected representative of the Democratic Alliance political party in his early twenties.

Coup
"You got to hand it to Gejjen. He must have had all this planned."

- Han Solo

In 40 ABY, Corellian Head of State Thrackan Sal-Solo, seeking to remove Galactic Alliance presence on Corellia, activated the ancient superweapon known as Centerpoint Station. Learning of Sal-Solo's plans, Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and his apprentice, Ben Skywalker, snuck onboard the Station and disabled it, shutting off the Station's deadly power. Seeking vengeance, Sal-Solo put a bounty on the heads of Solo's parents, ex-smuggler Han Solo and his wife, former New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo, an acquaintance of Gejjen's father Nov. Concerned for the Solos' lives, Gejjen contacted the two, and the met at a Coronet tapcafe. Upon first meeting, Han Solo was apprehensive and even threatening towards the then-twenty-five year old, but was pacified after Leia recognized Gejjen as her old friend's son. Immediately, Gejjen revealed plans for a coup against the unpopular Sal-Solo. Fearing that they would be overheard in a public place like the tapcafe, Organa Solo led Gejjen and Solo to a more private place, a local women's fashion shop. There, Gejjen described his plans in greater detail, and took his leave of the two, promising that he would warn the Solos when he discovered which bounty hunter took the bounty on the Solos.

In the meantime, events involving the Solo family escalated. Jacen Solo took charge of a newly formed secret police organization, the Galactic Alliance Guard and began imprisoning and in some cases, torturing Corellians residing on the Galactic Alliance capital, Coruscant. To compensate, Thrackan Sal-Solo declared Han and Leia Solo official enemies of Corellia and ordered their arrest. The two Solos soon arrived at Gejjen's house unannounced, now realizing the threat of Sal-Solo, and considering Gejjen's idea of a coup. Gejjen told the Solos that his political party, the Democratic Alliance, who were noted opponents of Sal-Solo, suppoted his idea of a coup to remove their political adversary. Gejjen told the Solos that once Sal-Solo was neutralized, the Democratic Alliance, along with their allies, the Corellian Liberal Front and the Centerpoint Party would unite to form an emergency stand-in government. Soon, Han and Leia Solo departed again, asking Gejjen to keep contact to a minimum, and to feed information of Sal-Solo's location for the time being. As an insurance policy to ensure that Sal-Solo was killed, Gejjen hired famous Mandalorian bounty hunter Boba Fett to assassinate Sal-Solo. The plan was carried out and Sal-Solo was killed, with Fett teaming up with his granddaughter Mirta Gev and Han Solo. Gejjen paid promptly, making Solo one million credits richer.

Following the coup, Gejjen immediately began maneuvering himself and his allies into positions of power to fill the vacuum left by the death of Sal-Solo, the Head of State and leader of the Corellian government. In an interview with the HoloNet, he pushed the idea of a coalition government, with his Democratic Alliance joining the Corellian Liberal Front and the Centerpoint Party. The coalition cabinet idea was well-received and passed, with Dur Gejjen leading the group, becoming Chief of State of the Corellian government.

In charge
"It might not be an exaggeration to say that persuading the Queen Mother to assume a favorable stance toward Corellia would be as much a service to her as to us."

- Dur Gejjen

With his plans of a coup realized and Gejjen in charge of Corellia, Gejjen quickly asserted his control over the Corellian system, abolishing the position of the President of Five Worlds, which was only created by Thrackan Sal-Solo so he could hold a greater dominion over the system. Gejjen soon seized an opportunity for greater power, arranging to have himself named Prime Minister of the Five Worlds, a government that encompassed all five planets of the Corellian system. Gejjen was assisted in his reign by two others: Minster of Intelligence Gavele Lemora and Minister of Defense Rorf Willems. To try and reign in the Corellians, the Galactic Alliance placed a blockade on the world of Corellia. After the coup, the three came aboard the Thrackan Sal-Solo, a Corellian Dreadnaught that served as the flagship in the Corellian fleet. When Han and Leia Solo, who were aboard, asked him what he why he was on the Dreadnaught, Gejjen claimed to just be aboard for inspection, but soon dropped a bombshell; the Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium, former Jedi Tenel Ka Djo, had agreed to meet with a Corellian delegation. The news was quite surprising, since Tenel Ka and her Hapan subjects were strong supporters of the Galactic Alliance, and had assigned two Hapan fleets to Alliance command. However, according to Corellian intelligence, Tenel Ka's fervent support of the Galactic Alliance was straining her relationship with the Hapan nobles, so she was willing to talk with the Five Worlds. Gejjen decided to send Han and Leia Solo, trusted friends of the Queen Mother, to negotiate with Tenel Ka. In reality, it was to be a diversion, while the Five Worlds would launch an attack on the Galacic Alliance-controlled Hapan fleets.

Han and Leia Solo traveled to the Hapes Consortium in the Millenium Falcon, and soon, a fight broke out in Tenel Ka's palace. The Solos skirmished with Hapan agents who were trying to assassinate Tenel Ka and her daughter, the Chume'da Allana. Nevertheless, Tenel Ka and her daughter survived, and soon another atack was launched. Gejjen and the Five Worlds backed a group of Hapan nobles called the Heritage Council, who were bent on removing Tenel Ka from power and installing their leader, the Ducha AlGray, as Queen Mother. They launched a full-scale battle, hoping to kill the reigning Queen Mother. Since the Queen Mother was a strong Galactic Alliance supporter, their forces were there in full effect, led by Jacen Solo in his personal Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Anakin Solo. The Heritage Council and their Corellian backers were defeated in the Battle of Hapes, and Gejjen's plans of stopping the Hapan support of the Galactic Alliance were foiled.

New enemies
Following the Battle of Hapes, Gejjen sent Wedge Antilles, a Rebel Alliance hero, former Rogue Squadron pilot, and ex-Galactic Alliance commander to represent the Five Worlds in a discussion with Jacen Solo. Solo extended the hand of peace toward the Corellians, offering to allow the Corellian system readmission into the Galactic Alliance without incident. Antilles returned to Gejjen, who was accompanied by some of the most prominent politicians of the Corellian sector: Sadras Koyan, the Chief of State of the Five Worlds planet Tralus, Willems, Lemora, and Minister of Justice Denjax Teppler. Antilles told Gejjen of Solo's offer, and admitted that he could have stopped the Galactic Alliance blockade, which was now causing great suffering and shortages on Corellia. Angered by Antilles' failure, he demoted Antilles from his position as Five Worlds military commander, appointing Admiral Genna Delpin in his place. Gejjen was not willing to lose Antilles' military experience however, and asked him to join Delpin's staff. Antilles refused, and after a short argument, Gejjen fired Wedge Antilles from the Five Worlds military.

As a condition of Antilles' firing, Gejjen threw a banquet and a going-away party for the outgoing Antilles. However, Gejjen, who viewed Antilles as a traitor to the Five Worlds, had CorSec agents in place and at the ready to kill Wedge Antilles after the banquet. After the ceremony, which was also attended by Antilles' successor, Delpin, Antilles and Gejjen departed together. As the two departed, Antilles surprised Gejjen with news that his daughter, Myri Antilles, having recentily graduated from school and almost sure to work for Corellian Intelligence, was considering forgoing her service and working for the Galactic Alliance Intelligence Service. Gejjen was surprised and angered, and soon, the assassins struck, pouring a hail of blaster bolts toward Antilles. Unfortunately for Gejjen, Antilles' life was saved by his wife, former New Republic Intelligence agent Iella Wessiri Antilles, Jedi Master Corran Horn, and his daughter Myri. In retaliation, Gejjen ordered the arrest of Wedge and Iella Antilles, along with Corran Horn.

After the Antilles incident, Minister of Justice Denjax Teppler, a political ally of Dur Gejjen, met with Han and Leia Solo. Teppler disclosed that it was Gejjen who signed off and planned the assassination attempt on the life of Tenel Ka Djo, who was a personal friend of the Solo family. Although the Solos were previously suspicious of Gejjen, they were now, once and for all, his enemies.

Death
"What do you want me to do? Assassinate Gejjen."

- Ben Skywalker and Jacen Solo

Little did Gejjen know, the Galactic Alliance, Gejjen's enemies, had acquired proof that Gejjen was behind the assassination attempt on an Alliance ally, Tenel Ka. Jacen Solo, in control of the Galactic Alliance secret police, finally had what he wanted&mdash;ample grounds for Gejjen's assassination. Solo, a Jedi Knight, assigned Ben Skywalker, his apprentice, to perform the deed. Solo formulated a plan: Galactic Alliance Chief of State Cal Omas would meet Gejjen on the Deep Core planet of Vulpter. Omas would come under the guise of peace, calling for an end to the ever-escalating conflict between the Galactic Alliance and the Confederation forces. After the meeting between the two, Skywalker would shoot Gejjen with a Karpaki fifty slugthrower rifle, killing him.

In the meantime, Solo staged a coup, taking over the position of Galactic Alliance Chief of State as a duumvirate with Mon Calamari Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet Admiral Cha Niathal. Omas, who was on his way to Vulpter at the time, was not there to prevent it. Gejjen, eager to end the conflict and ultimately claim victory over the Galactic Alliance, rescheduled all of his engagements for the day of the meeting, confirming his attendance of the Vulpter negotiation. Gejjen came to the meeting in his personal shuttle, and immediately demanded to Omas that Solo and Niathal be assassinated, removing them from their positions in the Galactic Alliance. The negotiations concluded with no real changes or agreements made. As soon as Gejjen stepped through the doors of the building where he talked with Omas into the busy Vulpter starport, Skywalker struck by shooting Gejjen through the head, killing him.
