- "First proposed by Can Lar, a Gathi working for CoMar Weapons, the v-150 planet defender was initially rejected by CoMar as 'militarily useless and an engineering impossibility.'"
- ―A compilation of Galactic Empire documents by Major Arhul Hextrophon
The Gathi was a group of which Can Lar was a member. At one point he worked for the CoMar Combat Systems company, where he proposed a design for an anti-orbital ion cannon. After the company rejected the proposal, Lar quit working there and instead presented the design to Kuat Drive Yards, which went on to realize it as the v-150 Planet Defender. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Lar being a Gathi was mentioned in a compilation of Imperial documents made by Rebel Alliance historian Major Arhul Hextrophon for Alliance Supreme Commander Mon Mothma and other Rebel officers.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Gathi were first mentioned in the 1989 Imperial Sourcebook, written by Greg Gorden and published by West End Games for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[2]
