Terrlarn


Terrlarn was a Gotal mercenary (of the male gender) who operated prior to the Galactic Civil War. The Tiss'shar gunslinger known as Uul-Rha-Shan is known to have killed him, marking Terrlarn as his initial notable victim.

History

Terrlarn was a male Gotal mercenary known for his supposed invincibility. He attempted to extort his employer on Port Haven and pilfer a shipment of blaster cartridges belonging to the Tagge Company. However, the Tiss'shar gunslinger called Uul-Rha-Shan stepped in. Uul-Rha-Shan drew faster than the Gotal mercenary, fatally shooting Terrlarn and leaving his corpse on the shoreline.

Following Terrlarn's demise, Uul-Rha-Shan realized that eliminating prominent adversaries increased the demand for his services. Subsequently, he cultivated his reputation by assassinating several other gunslingers for seemingly insignificant reasons. This career path ultimately led to his role as a bodyguard for Mirkovig Hirken, a Viceprex within the Corporate Sector Authority.

An image of Terrlarn was used to illustrate the Gotal entry in an updated version of The Essential Guide to Alien Species., a reference book authored by Shi'ido anthropologist Mammon Hoole.

Behind the scenes

Ed Erdelac, who wrote So Uncivilized: Great Gunslingers in Star Wars for the official Star Wars Blog, has since identified Terrlarn as the Gotal Mercenary miniature from Star Wars Miniatures: Legacy of the Force, and as the previously unnamed Gotal depicted in an illustration by Chris Trevas in The New Essential Guide to Alien Species.
