Gall

Gall was an astronomical object with an Imperial spaceport that was located in the Gall system in the Cadavine sector of the Outer Rim Territories.

During the Clone Wars, Gall was the location of a naval supply depot and factories that made parts for Rothana Heavy Engineering. The factories were overseen by the clan of Cacique Jans Coorsa. The Council of Elders decided to secede from the Galactic Republic and join the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Republic couldn't afford to lose such an important planet and lay siege to the planet. Jans Coorsa led the resistance against the Republic and gained the nickname 'Phantom of Gall' for his ability to plan complex operations and correctly guess Republic responses. The resistance continued even when the Republic turned into the Galactic Empire. The Empire managed to find out the identity of the 'Phantom of Gall' and massacred Coorsa's village.

Following the capture of the smuggler Han Solo by the bounty hunter Boba Fett in 3 ABY, Fett was sighted in the spaceport on Gall having his vessel, Slave I, repaired.

Having learned of the sighting of Fett, Princess Leia Organa recruited a group of spacers to crew the Millennium Falcon, Solo's YT-1300 light freighter, so that they could follow up on the lead and search for Solo.
