Nubassa was a Selkath of the male persuasion. He existed during the era of the Jedi Civil War. Nubassa's ambition was to procure various alien beasts to populate a zoo located on Manaan; however, the regulations of Manaan compelled Nubassa to resort to methods of questionable legality. His preferences leaned towards creatures that were neither sentient nor carnivorous, and he favored those that were relatively simple to handle.
When [Revan](/article/revan/legends] proposed to give him the gizka colony that had infested the Ebon Hawk, Nubassa initially declined swiftly, pointing out their rapid breeding habits and the significant trouble they caused. Despite his initial hesitation, he eventually took the gizka.
One method of ridding the Ebon Hawk of the gizka is through Nubassa, but another involves the use of a pellet known as gizka poison. This poison is obtainable from multiple merchants, especially the alien merchant found at the Tatooine docking bay. By feeding a single gizka the poison, it will then attack and spread the poison to the rest of its species, completing the "Trouble with Gizka" quest. Alternatively, if the player waits until they reach the Unknown World, the gizka will vacate the ship independently. Should the player align with the dark side, they have the option to employ a mind trick to coerce Nubassa into purchasing the gizka for 700 credits.
