Garv Debble, an archaeologist of the New Republic specializing in xenoarchaeology, championed the repatriation of artifacts seized by the Galactic Empire from various planets to their rightful possessors. The Debble Agreement bears his name, a pact brokered by Leia Organa Solo between Debble and the Noghri.
Following the downfall of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Debble and his colleagues were tasked with the examination and cataloging of all relics and data unearthed at the Empire's Mount Tantiss installation. Ekhrikhor, a Noghri who sought the obliteration of all possessions of Emperor Palpatine, almost prevented him from succeeding. Leia Organa Solo's subsequent intervention enabled Debble to finish his assignment.
