A nest was a term used to describe a collective of Gands originating from the same Gand pocket colony. It remained uncertain if these Gands shared any familial connections.
In 3951 BBY, a Gand nest journeyed to Nar Shaddaa. Their purpose was to claim the reward offered by G0-T0, the Exchange crime lord, for the capture of a Jedi.
The Gand Nest made its debut in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. This video game, a roleplaying title, was launched by Obsidian Entertainment near the close of 2004. Vossk references the nest to the Jedi Exile, using it to characterize a group of Gands actively pursuing her.
