A rebel Rodian, identified as male, was part of the Rebel Alliance group dispatched to look into the situation on Gobindi. The Galactic Empire quickly implemented a lockdown of the world while experimenting with the influenza necrosi virus, falsely attributing the lockdown to piracy. Discovering that Rebel operatives were present, the Empire falsely accused them of being pirates and issued warrants for their arrest. This Rodian was captured and detained on Gobindi; subsequently, he was used as a test subject for influenza necrosi in a controlled environment. The virus devoured him, transforming him into a blob.
