"One cannot do less than is required, nor more than is allowed."
―Pons Limbic[4]

Pons Limbic was a Siniteen male who frequnted Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina on the planet Tatooine.

Biography[]

A Force-attuned[2] Siniteen male,[1] Pons Limbic frequented Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina[5] in Mos Eisley, a spaceport city on the planet Tatooine.[6] The smuggler BoShek gave him the nickname "Brainiac" because Limbic could calculate hyperspace coordinates without the help of a navigation computer.[1]

In 0 BBY,[7] Limbic visited the cantina and sat at a table with[1] the Defel mercenary Arleil Schous,[8] the Arcona scout Hem Dazon,[9] the Advozse smuggler Bom Vimdin,[10] and the patron Braconnor Bakiska.[1]

Personality and traits[]

Limbic had a super-intelligent appearance,[11] tan skin,[3] and yellow eyes.[2]

Skills and abilities[]

The Siniteen could calculate hyperspace jumps[1] and coordinates[5] in his head, without the aid of a navigation computer. This was a worthwhile and extremely impressive skill. Limbic had high intelligence[1] and though he was Force-attuned,[2] he had low Force power.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

During production of A New Hope, the character was referred to as "Brainee," "Cranium Head" and "Crater Head."[12] It was the CCG that first gave him his nickname "Brainiac," and his true name was not revealed until the article "Cantina Roll Call: Shedding Light on Some Alien Aliases" was updated for the 2008 StarWars.com site redesign.[13]

Both the pons and the limbic system are structures within the human brain.

Brainiac is also the name of a character in the DC Universe.
