Gargon was a mountainous planet. It was settled by the Old Mandalorians, who were exiled from their homeworld of Mandalore by the pacifistic New Mandalorians after a civil war between around 41 BBY and around 39 BBY. On Gargon, they lived as mercenaries working for the highest bidder, as Mandalorians had done for millennia.
In 7966 C.R.C., the marauder Enfys Nest and her Cloud-Riders raided an Imperial medical spice cache on Gargon, stealing the medicinally processed spice but leaving behind the potentially more valuable raw spice. After the raid, the Galactic Empire began to piece together information that Enfys Nest was amassing resources to fund a rebel uprising. In 34 ABY, a file on the Gargon raid was included in Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, a collection of case files compiled by Commissioner Exantor Divo, head of law enforcement on the planet Hosnian Prime.
Gargon was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in Friends Like These, a 2016 adventure supplement for the Star Wars: Age of Rebellion roleplaying game published by Fantasy Flight Games. It was first visually depicted in an illustration by Lucas Parolin from the 2018 Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, written by Pablo Hidalgo. Gargon was originally created by James Kahn for the 1983 Star Wars Legends novelization of the 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
