Gilloma, an Ithorian of the male persuasion, was a scientist of the junior variety employed at the Forard research station.
Prior to this, he spent over a dozen years at his alma mater, the University of Alderaan, but ultimately became disillusioned with what he perceived as the intellectual sluggishness of its student body. Intrigued by the kaluthin, he took a position as a junior researcher at the station. He was content in this role, not seeking higher status. His research focused on the crossbreeding of the kaluthin with flora from various planets.
Gilloma's height exceeded two meters, yet his appearance was unremarkable, mirrored by his simple attire. He was generally reserved, reserving his passion for his research, with the hope that the kaluthin would bring about a revolution in how plants were utilized throughout the galaxy.
