Gil Jaretto was a Jedi Master of the human species, who found himself stationed on the waterworld known as Dubraib. During the year 231 BBY, he paid a visit to the Starlight Beacon space station, where he lent a hand to the staff in managing a significant altercation that had erupted. After their attempts to quell the disturbance proved insufficient, an security droid resorted to crowd suppression techniques, effectively incapacitating all those involved in the brawl. Once the conflict had subsided, he, along with other Jedi, maintained a presence in the corridors, ensuring that no further outbreaks of violence occurred.
Gil Jaretto, a Jedi Master serving the Jedi Order, was assigned to Dubraib, a waterworld situated on the Galactic Frontier during the High Republic Era. In 231 BBY, while visiting the Galactic Republic's Starlight Beacon space station, a substantial fight broke out among a group of scientists from the Galactic Agricultural Alliance. These scientists had been exposed to a johto flower crossbred with the Drengir, a sentient species of carnivorous plant, triggering unusual aggressive behavior. As the station's administrator, Velko Jahen, and Head of Security, Ghal Tarpfen, discussed the appropriate response, Jaretto and five other Jedi approached, offering their assistance. Jahen accepted, stipulating that the Jedi minimize injuries. Jaretto acknowledged the terms with a bow and the six Jedi moved towards the group of combatants.
The arrival of the Jedi briefly halted the fighting. However, despite Jahen's initial relief, the brawl resumed, with the Jedi endeavoring to pacify the participants. Tarpfen then directed a security droid to deploy non-lethal [crowd suppression](/article/crowd_suppression] agents into the dining facility, the site of the altercation. Tarpfen instructed Jahen and the Jedi to withdraw to avoid exposure to the substance. After a brief, tense silence behind closed doors, the doors opened to reveal dozens of scientists sleeping peacefully. Jahen expressed her gratitude to Jaretto for his assistance, requesting that he and the other Jedi patrol the corridors to prevent further violence while she and Tarpfen managed the cleanup. Jaretto agreed, and the Jedi departed.
