Gorian Shard

Gorian Shard was a male individual of a plant-like species who served as the Pirate King of a gang of pirates, which included the Nikto Vane, leading the gang from his Cumulus-class Corsair warship. He was considered one of the most famous pirates in the galaxy. At some point, Shard obtained treasure, and Guild Master Greef Karga used a portion of it to build a cantina on the Outer Rim planet Nevarro.

In 9 ABY, Vane and other pirates under the pirate king's command traveled to Nevarro to speak with Karga, who had become Nevarro's High Magistrate. Karga and the Mandalorian Din Djarin killed several pirates and spared Vane's life, allowing him to flee to the asteroid fields in the Nevarro system. There, the pirate lured Djarin's starfighter to the gang's Corsair and Shard, who instructed Djarin to surrender in exchange for his life; however, the Mandalorian did not trust the pirate king and escaped. Bringing his Corsair to Nevarro following his confrontation with Djarin, Gorian commenced an aerial bombardment of Nevarro's capital city.

Djarin returned to the planet with other Mandalorians, who attacked the pirate forces on Nevarro while Djarin attacked Shard's Corsair. As the Mandalorian forces obliterated the pirate forces, the condition of the pirate king's vessel worsened and its starfighter squadron was destroyed by Djarin; as a result, Vane fled Nevarro. Shard, however, did not flee, instead attempting to kill the people of Nevarro; however, Djarin and Mandalorian Lady Bo-Katan Kryze's starfighters destroyed the pirate's vessel before he could kill the townspeople, killing Shard.
