Galactic Outdoor Survival School

The Galactic Outdoor Survival School, commonly abbreviated as GOSS, was an institution operating during the Galactic Civil War to teach survival skills.

The GOSS was founded by Barosa Warren on the planet OM813—otherwise known as Thrantin—and served as a training camp for students from all over the galaxy. It ensured students learned survival skills in environments that would pose a challenge to their species' particular physiology; for example, a Mon Calamari student would learn how to survive in arid areas such as deserts. Graduates described the school as a combination of educational facility and survivalist camp, with a crude mentality, but an excellent result. GOSS was noted for training some of the most proficient survivalists of any military institution—although it was an unofficial organization, not backed by the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.
