Jes Gistang

Jes Gistang was a Corellian Human female who served as a stormtrooper in Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire circa 137 ABY, during the Second Imperial Civil War. After living on the streets as a child, Gistang was taken in by the local Imperial Mission and was eventually selected for service in the Stormtrooper Corps. She quickly found a home as a heavy-weapons expert with Joker Squad in the 407th Stormtrooper Division and was put in charge of the unit's BB-23 heavy blaster cannon, known as the "big gun."

When Lieutenant Gil Cassel informed Joker Squad that the 407th would be conducting a mission on Borosk to destroy the 908th Stormtrooper Division, which had defected to the forces of displaced Emperor Roan Fel, Gistang angrily disagreed with killing fellow stormtroopers and even argued that the members of Joker Squad should join Fel themselves. Gistang reluctantly participated in the Battle of Borosk when Joker Squad was ordered into action, but she was killed during the second day of fighting when one of her spare power packs for the big gun was hit by a stray blaster bolt, causing it to explode and vaporize her.
