Biography
"My coward of a husband has taken my son, and I need someone with the wit and muscle to bring him back."

- Gianna explains her problem to an Imperial aligned individual.

Gianna was a female Human who lived during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Sometime prior to the war Gianna married a man named Kendrel, who had trained on the planet Korriban to become a Sith and serve the Empire. He however failed the training and fled before the Sith could kill him. Instead of serving the Empire he came to serve a Hutt on the planet Nal Hutta, which Gianna came to think less of him for it. The pair had a son despite this and named him Zi'am. When they discovered the boy was Force-sensitive like his father, Gianna wanted to send him to Korriban so he too could train to serve the Empire as a Sith. Kendrel however refused to allow his son to go through the same terrible experience he had training as a Sith and so took the boy and attempted to flee Nal Hutta with him. The pair reached a spaceport in the industrial town of Jiguuna where they arranged to travel off planet. However a comm officer named Mekks working at the spaceport recognised the pair and informed the boys mothers since he owed her a favor. Gianna then travelled to a cantina in Jiguuna called the Poison Pit where she sought help to retrieve her son.

Gianna eventually approached an Imperial aligned individual and asked that they helped her retrieve her son. She offered to reward them for returning Zi'am and claimed she was willing to give them everything she had if they helped. The individual agreed and before they left for the spaceport Gianna warned them Kendrel might not give up the boy peacefully. The individual found Mekks in the spaceport and the comm officer called over Kendrel and Zi'am. Once the individual explained why they were there Kendrel refused to hand over the boy as he didn't want to risk the Sith killing Zi'am if he failed the training. The father asked that the individual let them flee and tell Gianna they had gone to Korriban so she didn't search for them. The individual refused and shot Kendrel, killing him before before he could react. After his fathers death Zi'am fled home to his mother, although greatly upset by his fathers death.

Upon the individuals return Gianna thanked them for retrieving her son and informed them that he would soon be sent to Korriban. She stated she didn't care what had happened to her husband but that Zi'am's grief and hatred of her due to his fathers death who help him to become a strong Sith. She then paid the individual 30 credits and gave them a Nal Hutta commendation for their work.

Personality and traits
"I'm not wealthy, but I'd give everything I have for my son."

- Gianna promises to reward and Imperial aligned individual for retrieving her son.

Gianna cared deeply for her son Zi'am and was willing to give up all she owned for him to be returned to her from her husband. She believed that he was talented in the Force and would one day grow up to be a strong and powerful Sith who could defend her. Gianna was willing to have Zi'am hate her for her involvement in her husbands death and was not upset by her sons grief over his fathers death as she believed both would make him a stronger Sith.

She cared little for her husband Kendrel and thought him a failure and a coward due to the fact he did not complete his training on Korriban and fled. She considered that there marriage had been dead for a number of years prior to her hiring of an individual to recover Zi'am and cared little when he was killed.

Behind the scenes
"You. Where's my son? I thought I told you to get my son back!"

- Gianna's reaction if the player chooses not to bring back her son.

Gianna first appeared in the Massively multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic released in Bioware in 2012. She is involved in the quest "Dreams of Korriban" where she asks you to retrieve her son from her husband. The player has a choice to either allow Kendrel and Zi'am to flee once they reach the space port as a light side option or to kill Kendrel as a dark side option. If the player chooses to allow the pair to flee then they can either tell Gianna the truth as a Dark side option or that Kendrel agreed to take Zi'am to Korriban as a light side option. This article assumes that the player chose to take the dark side option and kill Kendral due to the fact only Imperial characters of the bounty hunter or Imperial Agent class can undertake this quest. This is due to it's location on Nal Hutta which no other classes have access to.
