Gibbela system

The Gibbela system was a part of the Atrivis sector in the New Territories portion of the Outer Rim Territories. It was located far from even minor hyperlanes and contained the isolated terrestrial planet Gibbela. Gibbela was the homeworld of the shapeshifter Dazouri species. When provoked, the Dazouri would transform from their normal non-threatening Humanoid form into three-meter-tall homicidal and frenzied predators. As a result, spacers tended to avoid visiting Gibbela.

During the reign of the Galactic Empire, that government made plans to colonize Gibbela. An Imperial scout detachment, consisting of a Sentinel-class landing craft carrying an Imperial officer and a stormtrooper escort, was dispatched to the planet. However, when the starship landed at the farm of one of the Dazouri and the Imperial officer claimed Gibbela as Imperial territory and demanded the farmer's surrender, the Dazouri underwent their species' characteristic transformation and wiped out the Imperial force. Between 4 ABY and 12 ABY, the Gibbela system fell within the Pentastar Alignment's borders.
