Gap Nox was a male[3] Neimoidian[2] captain in the Neimoidian Gunnery Battalion, who served the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars against the Galactic Republic. After the Battle of Moorja, he became a bodyguard of the Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray[3] and in 19 BBY[1] accompanied Gunray to the planet Mustafar, where the Separatist Council had their stronghold.[2] Nox was stationed to the left side of the bunker entrance[4] where the CIS leadership was waiting when Darth Vader, the pupil of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, arrived. Sidious, a secret ally of the Separatists, however, betrayed them and Vader slaughtered all present, including Nox and Gunray. Nox had orange eyes and green skin and wore a Neimoidian guard armor.[2]
