Shmorg

"No, Shmorg, I've got it."

- A Gran offers to buy drinks, as opposed to Shmorg

Shmorg was a male Gran who worked as a bounty hunter on the moon of Sulon, in a city named Barons Hed. Along with four other Gran, he attended a local cantina where they ordered several refreshments. When Shmorg offered to pick up the tab, another Gran opted to buy the drinks instead. All of the Gran became involved in an argument of who was going to pay for the drinks, which resulted in an unarmed brawl. Shmorg's brawl was concluded by the Jedi in training Kyle Katarn, who killed all of the Gran when they attacked him.

Biography
"No blasters! No Blasters!"

- The bartender as Shmorg's fight broke out

A male Gran, Shmorg was a bounty hunter who was hired by the Galactic Empire during the year 5 ABY. Along with numerous other bounty hunters, Shmorg prowled the streets of the city Barons Hed, located on the moon Sulon, which orbited the planet Sullust. One day, Shmorg and four other Gran headed to a local cantina, where they ordered drinks from the Human bartender. When the Gran had finished their refreshments, Shmorg offered to pick up the tab, but was countered by one of the other Gran, who wanted to pay the bill instead. All of the Gran began to argue over who was going to pay, which eventually led to an unarmed brawl between them, where they began to beat each other to the death. The bartender, afraid, called for the Gran to not use blasters. None of them were armed, however, with the exception of one Gran who had a belt of thermal detonators.

Right as the brawl began, the New Republic agent Kyle Katarn, who was on a personal vendetta against the Dark Jedi Jerec&mdash;whose towers resided in the center of Barons Hed&mdash;stumbled into the cantina. The Gran turned their attention to Katarn, who then slew Shmorg and the other bounty hunters. Katan then collected any supplies in the bar before leaving. The bartender grumbled his displeasure at for Katarn killing paying customers.

Personality and traits
Shmorg was a brawler with large hands, but was otherwise gracious enough to offer to pay the tab for his acquaintance's drinks. However, the Gran had a short temper, and did not tolerate another Gran offering to buy the drinks.

Shmorg had brown colored skin, purple eyes, and wore brown clothing.

Behind the scenes
"In any case, if Gran are stupid enough to kill each other, be smart enough to let them."

- Rick Barba on the bar brawl

Shmorg appeared in the video game Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II as an enemy character who appeared during the game's fifth level. He was unnamed in the game, but he received a name in the game's strategy guide, although it is not clear which Gran in the bar is Shmorg. In the guide, author Rick Barba theorized that the Gran were fighting over a bar tab, and advised the player to wait out their fight until at least two Gran were killed, and that after that the player should kill the remaining Gran and pillage the bar's supplies. However, due to the fact that completing this encounter is not necessary for beating the game for either of its two endings, this portion of the game can be skipped completely without effect.
