Unidentified Gotal traffic controller

"If you can simply find some way to prove you are who you say you are&hellip;?"

- The Gotal traffic controller's final words to Jango Fett, before the Mandalorian kills him

This traffic controller was a Gotal male who worked for the planet Atzerri's traffic control during the final years of the Galactic Republic. In 22 BBY, he and his associate, Elmyo, hailed the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett's ship after he entered Atzerri's atmosphere. After the Gotal talked with Fett, Elmyo demanded that Fett begin negotations for the landing fee. The Gotal traffic controller, who was aware of Fett's reputation as a bounty hunter, immediately apologized on the man's behalf and asked Fett to prove who he was. In response, Fett launched two rockets at the traffic control ship, ending the lives of the Gotal and Elmyo.

Biography
This Gotal male was born during the final decades of the Galactic Republic. By the year 22 BBY, he served planet Atzerri's trafic control as an officer, and was training a new recruit, the Human Elmyo.

Eventually, the Gotal and Elmyo were out on patrol, and they intercepted the starship Slave 1, which belonged to the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, after it entered the atmosphere of Atzerri. The Gotal hailed Fett over the traffic control ship's comlink, asking if he had been to Atzerri before. When Fett confirmed that he had, Elmyo demanded that the landing fee negotiations begin, but was interrupted when Fett revealed his identity. As Elmyo, who was unaware of Fett's reputation as a bounty hunter, kept talking to the Mandalorian, the Gotal grabbed the comlink from the Human and apologized on Elmyo's behalf to Fett. The Gotal asked Fett to provide proof of his identity, and Fett responded by launching two rockets at the Gotal's ship, killing him and Elmyo.

Personality and traits
The Gotal male was fearful when Jango Fett revealed that he was Slave 1 pilot. He berated Elmyo for his attitude towards Fett, and was nervous as he asked the Mandalorian to confirm his identity.
