Gendra was a male Quarren who lived on the planet Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, he resided in Mos Eisley. He was a friend of Chalmun, the owner of the Spaceport Cantina, and his employees Muna Skish and Lurval. He was also acquainted with Trehla Keelo. Gendra was usually friendly with newcomers in Mos Eisley, particularly those not interested in combat and violence. In 1 ABY, Gendra accepted to help a group of spacers who arrived in Mos Eisley with Han Solo from Tansarii Point Station. The arrival of these spacers was in fact a good opportunity for Gendra to help Chalmun. One of the spacer, a trader, was a skilled crafter who was eager to prepare meat jerky and spiced tea for the customers of the cantina and also crafted new glassware. Another spacer, an entertainer, agreed with performing in the cantina, dancing and playing music for the patrons who where delighted by the shows. Gendra was very pleased of the help provided by the spacers. The Quarren even offered a XP-38 landspeeder to one of them.
Gendra was a non-player character in 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. Gendra was added to the game upon the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.
