Biography

"Please...please just go to their camp and see if you can find any signs of my friends. They are good people. They were just studying the plant life on Kashyyyk and never hurt anyone."

―Lisum, to a spacer

The corpses of the dead researchers in the Canopy bandit's camp.

Sometime following the Battle of Yavin, Jillian was part of a group of researchers who came to the planet Kashyyyk in order to study the local flora. They set up a camp in the wilderness of the planet, north of the city of Kachirho. Although the botanists knew that this world could be a unsafe place, they were decided to study the Kashyyykian plant life. During their mission, the researchers used a radio to communicate with other scientists based off-world, including a man named Lisum. Lisum was particularly close to Jillian and the man had tried to convince the latter not to go to Kashyyyk because he was afraid something could happen to them.

In 1 ABY, the dangerous Canopy bandits attacked and destroyed the research camp. The criminals abducted the researchers and brought them captive to their camp for ransom. However, for some reason, they eventually executed all the scientists, including Jillian, Bathoz and Rengar.

Legacy

"So...they are dead...oh Jillian, I told you not to go. ...I know it is a lot to ask but could you perhaps do one more thing for me? I want you to make those Canopy bandits pay. Pay for what they have done to my friends...to Jillian."

―Lisum, to a spacer

Following the murder of the botanists, Lisum tried desperately to contact the research camp but without success. A short time later, a group of spacers discovered the destroyed camp. While investigating the camp site, a spacer was contacted over the radio by Lisum. The spacer accepted to help to uncover the researchers' fate and the adventurers therefore searched the camp for clues. When one of the spacers found the word "Canopy" written on a dented drum, Lisum immediately understood that the scientists had been taken by the Canopy bandits. He thus requested the spacers to find the Canopy bandit's camp where his colleagues where likely held captive. The adventurers explored the area and finally found the bandit's lair. However, it was already too late and they only found the corpses of the dead scientists in the camp. Enraged, Lisum asked them to make the criminals pay for what they did. The spacers eventually killed fifteen Canopy bandits out of vengeance.

Behind the scenes

Possible depictions of Jillian

Jillian was first mentioned in the 2005 expansion pack Rage of the Wookiees for the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.

In the game, the name Jillian was mentioned in the quest dialogue along with the names of two other colleagues. When the player was tasked with investigating the Canopy Bandits' camp, they would discover the dead bodies of two of the researchers, a Human man and woman. However, there was no indication of the identity of the corpses. Nevertheless, the story implied that Jillian was a woman involved in a romantic relationship with Lisum.
