Gizka/Legends

Gizka were small, reptilian creatures. Whatever their native world, their extraordinary reproduction rate led to a fair amount of gizka on many worlds, even including uncharted planets such as Rakata Prime, finding their way from the wreckage of crashed starships. It has been alternatively postulated that they came from that planet originally, spreading along with the Infinite Empire. Their exponential population growth led to them being considered pests on almost as many worlds as they inhabited.

The Ebon Hawk once played host to a temporary colony of gizka, in an incident involving mishandled cargo, an Aqualish, and a Tatooine shipping company.

Behind the scenes
In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the Gizka can be eliminated onboard the Ebon Hawk, using a pellet called Gizka poison. This poison can be obtained from various traders, most notably the alien trader at the Tatooine dock. Feed one Gizka with the poison and it will attack and spread the lethal effect to its other specie-mates and the Trouble with Gizka quest is complete.

Another way to get rid of the Gizka is to sell them to Nubassa in the docking area on Manaan, who will buy them from the player if his persuasion skills are high enough.

On Yavin station, a Gizka escapes the player's ship and enters the station. You can later locate and kill it for dark side points.

"The Trouble with Gizka" is a play on the classic Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles."
