The Gathi were an organization that counted Can Lar as one of its members. He once was employed by CoMar Combat Systems, where he suggested an anti-orbital ion cannon design. Lar left the company after they turned down his idea and instead took his design to Kuat Drive Yards, who subsequently developed it into the v-150 Planet Defender. A short time following the Battle of Yavin, a collection of Imperial documents created by Rebel Alliance historian Major Arhul Hextrophon for Alliance Supreme Commander Mon Mothma and other Rebel officers mentioned Lar's affiliation with the Gathi.
The Gathi were initially introduced in the Imperial Sourcebook from 1989, which was authored by Greg Gorden and released by West End Games for the Star Wars role-playing game.
