Drom Guldi

Drom Guldi hunted wampas.

Biography
Drom Guldi was the Baron-Administrator of the Kelrodo-Ai gelatin mines, a planet known for its water sculptures. Guldi enjoyed hunting, and in 12 ABY, he decided to join an expedition run by the former Imperial stormtrooper Burrk to hunt wampas on Hoth. Along with Burrk, his assistants, and three other clients, Guldi and his aide Sinidic headed to Hoth, where they expected to kill many of the beasts. Guldi enjoyed success early in the hunt, killing ten wampas before disaster struck. The creatures banded together and attacked the group, killing two guides and the other three clients, and chasing them into the abandoned Echo Base, a former Rebel base.

The survivors—Burrk, Guldi, Sinidic, and Burrk's Cathar assistants Nonak and Nodon—were able to lock themselves in the base, although the prsopect of long-term survival appeared unlikely, as the wampas had destroyed their ship, and continued to try to force their way into the base. The group had managed to rig the old laser cannons to fire at anything that moved, scaring the wampas off.

However, four days later, the Jedi Luke Skywalker and Callista Ming arrived on the planet as part of their mission to help Ming touch the Force. After noticing a ruined starship, they made their way to Echo Base, where the automatic laser cannons begain firing on the two. Skywalker destroyed them with his lightsaber before Guldi and the group could shut the cannons off.

The group then came outside, telling the duo to come inside before the wampas came. Once they made it inside the base and the doors were sealed, Guldi and Burrk explained what had happened to Skywalker and Ming. Wanting to help, Ming and Skywalker offered to send a distress signal from their ship. Armed with depleted blaster rifles, the group headed to the ship, only to find that the wampas had forced their way inside, and damaged it, preventing them from transmitting a message or lifting off.

As they examined the wreckage, the group was attacked by several wampas, who were led by a one armed wampa. Though Nonak was killed, the rest of the group manged to make it back to Echo Base, though the wampas were right on their heels. Once inside the base, they sealed the doors, keeping the wampas locked out. Though the beasts attempted to force their way in by breaking down the doors, Guldi was confident that they would be unable to enter. After their near-death experience, they took time to rest, and checked their weapons. However, both Burrk's and Nodon's blasters were out of power, and Guldi's held only ten shots.

Skywalker and Burrk sorted through wreckage left in the base after the Imperial attack nine years earlier, attempting to build a useful weapon. Guldi instruched Sinidic to sort through a nearby supply room to try and find some food to calm their nerves. However, shortly after Sinidic entered the room, he let out a scream, and a wampa burst through the supply room door. Guldi quickly shot it dead, although it had already killed Sinidic. Burrk believed that the wampa had slipped in earlier while they were outside.

Shortly after this, the wampas were able to destroy the power generator, killing the lights. Meanwhile, a persistent scratching sound came from the door, although the group remained confident that the wampas could not break through that way.
