Glenna Kip

Glenna Kip was a Shani female scientist and professor. Possessing a career several centuries long, she worked out of a laboratory on the planet Haileap during the High Republic Era. During the Imperial Era, she worked on Minfar in a laboratory for the Galactic Empire, researching methods of subduing unruly populations. While not fond of her work, Kip hoped that by working within the Empire she could prevent them from creating weapons. Kip and her fellow scientists created the Echo Horn, which could control the Zixon, the native species of Minfar. After the fall of the Empire, Kip freed the Zixon, and later worked with General Leia Organa of the Resistance. The First Order forcefully recruited Kip as a scientist, and she chose to work alongside Commander Branwayne Spiftz, who sought to locate the Echo Horn, which Kip hoped to destroy before the First Order could find it. When members of the Resistance arrived to assist the Zixon, Kip joined them, helping to prevent the First Order from acquiring the weapon and driving them from the planet.
