N'Kata Del Gormo

N'Kata Del Gormo was a Hysalrian Jedi Master who lived during the times of the Galactic Republic.

Biography
Gormo was present on an unknown swamp world when the young Yoda and his Human friend crash-landed. After a couple of days, he met with the duo and informed them that they were in fact Force-sensitive; so began the duo's training in the ways of the Force.

It is unknown how much time Gormo spent training Yoda, but soon after the training was complete, a government starship hailing from the Galactic Republic came to "rescue" the pair of Force-sensitive individuals in response to their distress signal. Whether or not this had been planned by Gormo is unknown.

Behind the scenes

 * N'Kata Del Gormo was created by Chuck Hamilton, a Star Wars fan, for the backstory of his Hysalrian entry in the Design an Alien contest held in the Star Wars Galaxy Magazines.
 * In the original text, it was said that Yoda's training took place on Dagobah. That fact has been overridden by George Lucas stating that Yoda didn't visit Dagobah before his exile.
 * It is possible that during his exile, Yoda chose to stay on a planet similar to this unknown world because of his earlier learning experiences there and a sense of nostalgia.
