Gy'lan was a form of spice. During the initial phases of their smuggling ventures, Talon Karrde and Ellor were in the process of shipping a Gy'lan spice shipment when an Imperial Interdictor tried to cut them off. Karrde, at the controls of their freighter, executed a number of dodging actions and successfully fled by executing a microjump to hyperspace.
