The Great God Quay: The Tale of Barada and the Weequays by George Alec Effinger tells the story of Klatooinian guard Barada and two Weequay skiff guards. It was published in Tales from Jabba's Palace in January 1996 by Bantam Spectra.

This is a darkly humorous story telling how the Weequays get "divine" wisdom from a fortune-telling device that bears a strong resemblance to a classic Magic 8-Ball as they try to deal with some of the myriad plots and dangers that fill Jabba's Palace as detailed in other stories from the book.
