Gavas-Eclat existed as a district within Level 3215 of the planet-spanning ecumenopolis encompassing Coruscant. This area was characterized by low-income housing and scaled-down industrial zones, with urban decay spreading throughout, attracting criminal elements who preyed on the struggling inhabitants of Gavas-Eclat, stealing what meager possessions they had.
In the era of the Galactic Republic, the human known as Tanivos Divo entered the world in Gavas-Eclat, spending his formative years observing his father being subjected to extortion by intimidating criminals. Divo's upbringing in Gavas-Eclat toughened him, cultivating a strong moral compass and a dedication to justice that ultimately propelled him to become an inspector within the Coruscant Security Force later in his life.
The initial reference to Gavas-Eclat appeared within the 2018 sourcebook Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, authored by Pablo Hidalgo.
