Mirta Gev Mirta Gev was a female Mandalorian bounty hunter around the time of the Second Galactic Civil War . Born on Mandalore as the daughter of a bounty hunter , Ailyn Vel , she embarked on a quest first undertaken by her mother , which was to find and kill her grandfather , the legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett , who had abandoned Ailyn Vel at a young age . When Gev finally tracked Fett down in 40 ABY , she ended up entering into a partnership with the dying bounty hunter to find a cure for his illness . Gev assisted Fett in finding a bounty hunter named Skirata , who had medical data needed to treat Fett . She continued to work with Fett after that endeavor , including a mission to find Gev ' s grandmother and Fett ' s wife , Sintas Vel , who had been frozen in carbonite since 1 ABY . Gev would later take care of Vel while she recovered from her time in carbon freeze . Once Vel was well enough to be on her own , Gev fought on the front lines of the Mandalorian involvement in the Second Galactic Civil War , including fighting in the Second Battle of Fondor and the First Battle of Roche . It was after Roche that she was captured by the Galactic Alliance Chief of State , Sith Lord Darth Caedus , and interrogated . Following her interrogation , the Moffs of the Imperial Remnant released a nanovirus into the atmosphere of her home planet of Mandalore , preventing her from returning home . Sometime later , Gev was working with the Columi brothers , Craitheus and Marvid Qreph to find a cure to the nanovirus . However , the Qrephs failed to find a cure and lied to Gev to keep her under their payroll . When Gev discovered the deception , she abandoned the Qrephs and allied herself with Vestara Khai , still determined to find a cure which would allow her to return to Mandalore . Biography . Early life . Mirta Gev was born on the planet Mandalore , the daughter of bounty hunter Ailyn Vel and a Mandalorian warrior named Makin Marec . While Marec and Vel ' s relationship did not last , Gev stayed close to both of her parents , spending two summers with her father as a youth on the planet Null , where Marec taught Gev everything he could related to combat and bounty hunting . Soon afterwards , Marec was killed when his ship suffered a hull breach , leaving Vel to raise Gev alone . Vel , however , was constantly hunting for the famous bounty hunter and leader of the Mandalorian clans Boba Fett , who had deserted Vel and her mother Sintas when Ailyn was still a child , fostering a desire for revenge in his daughter . This search made it difficult for her to raise Gev . As Gev got older , Vel passed her hatred of Fett on to Gev . While Gev was still a child , her home planet Mandalore was devastated in the Yuuzhan Vong War , when an invading extragalactic species called the Yuuzhan Vong bombarded the planet ' s surface , killing one - third of the planet ' s population . When Gev grew up , she followed in the footsteps of her mother and grandfather , becoming a bounty hunter . At one point in the course of her career , Gev encountered former ARC clone trooper Jaing Skirata during an ill - fated mission , though Gev only knew him by his last name . Skirata and Gev were both after the same target , and eventually met . When they met , Skirata claimed that he had fought in the Clone Wars . At one point prior to 40 ABY , Gev was married , but that relationship ended . Gev also assisted her mother in her search for Boba Fett , hoping to aid Vel in her revenge . Ailyn Vel gave Gev a Heart of Fire pendant , a Kiffar jewel that had once belonged to Sintas . Vel told Gev to use the pendant to draw Fett ' s attention should she ever find him . Finding Fett . In 40 ABY , Gev finally found Fett on the Outer Rim world of Taris , where he was staying for a meeting with his second - in - command , Goran Beviin . Upon sighting Fett , she observed and followed him , carefully staying at a distance . When Fett finally noticed her , Gev approached him . She revealed her name , and told him she knew Vel , claiming Vel was her client . Gev showed Fett the Heart of Fire pendant that had once belonged to his wife , intriguing him , and convincing Fett to allow her to stay . Fett wished to see his daughter Ailyn and apologize for leaving her . First , though , Fett needed to find his one - time caretaker , the Kaminoan Taun We , since he was dying due to numerous tumors in his body , and believed that We had the solution to his ailments . The two left the planet Taris in Fett ' s starship , " Slave I " , in search of the elusive Kaminoan . The pair first traveled to Roonadan in the Corporate Sector , where Gev was forced to remain in the cargo bay of the " Slave I " while Fett was out and about searching for Taun We . Fett returned to the starship empty - handed and changed course to Vohai , in the Outer Rim Parmel sector , where Fett believed they were . While journeying from Roonadan to Vohai , Gev told Fett of her encounter with Skirata . Fett thought he could be healed by obtaining scientific data gathered by Ko Sai , a dead Kaminoan cloner who had specialized in aging . Upon hearing Gev ' s story about Skirata , Fett realized that Skirata must have had the missing Ko Sai data . Once they reached Vohai , Gev was once again forced to remain aboard " Slave I " , despite her attempts at convincing Fett to allow her to accompany him . Once Fett returned to the ship , having found We , Gev directed them to Coruscant , where she believed that her mother was . However , when Gev attempted to contact her mother , she was unable to get through . Before they were able to venture to Coruscant and Ailyn Vel , Fett and Gev were contacted by Corellian Head of State Thrackan Sal - Solo , who offered them a job defending repair teams working on Centerpoint Station , an ancient space station that had been previously damaged by Jedi Knights Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker . Afterwards , Gev , and a group of Mandalorian commandos assembled by Goran Beviin met in the Zerria ' s Bar bar on Drall two days later . While the rest of the Mandalorians were hostile towards a stranger such as Gev , once Fett mentioned her Mandalorian heritage , they immediately thawed and welcomed her into the group . It was in the Zerria bar that Gev met her future husband , Mandalorian warrior Ghes Orade , for the first time . The two went to Corellia , where they were met at the spaceport by Dur Gejjen , a rising Corellian politician , who took them to Sal - Solo ' s office . During the meeting , Fett told the Mandalorians of Sal - Solo ' s offer . Gev , Fett , and the rest of the Mandalorians went to Corellia to speak with Sal - Solo , who outlined the offer . On the way out of their meeting with Sal - Solo , they were pulled aside by Gejjen , who made a counteroffer . Gejjen was scheming to eliminate Sal - Solo , and needed a contract killer . He offered Fett the job , and Fett accepted , bringing Gev along with him . Afterwards , Gev and Fett approached ex - smuggler and Sal - Solo ' s cousin , Han Solo , offering their help to assassinate Sal - Solo , as Han Solo was already plotting to kill him . However , due to the history that Solo had with Fett , he was mistrustful of the bounty hunter . Solo became convinced that Fett was trying to trap and kill him when he saw Gev and recognized her as Ailyn Vel ' s daughter , who had previously been after Solo and his family . He attacked Gev , but Fett hit him in the back of the head with his blaster . After the brief fight , Solo and the Mandalorians were able to reach a working agreement to kill Sal - Solo . Gev , with Fett and Solo , returned to Sal - Solo , pretending to negotiate with him about the offer to defend Centerpoint Station . Solo came along dressed in Mandalorian armor , so his cousin would not recognize him . When Sal - Solo revealed that he had given Vel up to the authorities on Coruscant in order to distract attention from other bounty hunters whom he had hired to kill Solo , Gev realized that the politician had sold her mother out . Solo leapt at Sal - Solo and began to throttle him , and Gev shot Sal - Solo in the head , killing him . Gev , Solo and Fett escaped the scene of the crime soon afterwards , and returned to Gejjen , who rewarded them with one million credits . After the assassination , Gev asked Solo for any information on Ailyn Vel ' s location . Han Solo contacted his wife Leia Organa Solo for more information on Vel , who informed them that Vel had been killed under interrogation by Leia ' s son Colonel Jacen Solo of the Galactic Alliance Guard , robbing Gev of her mother . Stricken , Gev pulled her blaster out , aiming it at Fett . However , Organa Solo used the Force to pull the blaster away from Gev before she could fire a shot . Upon losing her blaster , Gev revealed her true intentions for traveling with Fett ; she wanted to return him to Vel , so that she could kill him once and for all . Since Vel was dead , Gev wanted to kill Fett to complete her mother ' s mission . Gev broke down in tears upon divulging her motives , and had to be calmed down by the Solos . Afterwards , Vel ' s body was returned to Fett and Gev , and Gev decided to bring her mother ' s corpse back to Mandalore . Before they could return to Mandalore , however , the pair traveled to Geonosis to retrieve the body of Fett ' s father , Jango Fett , so that the two bodies could be laid to rest on Mandalore . Search for Skirata . With a heavy heart , Mirta Gev and Boba Fett returned to Mandalore with Jango Fett ' s body in tow . The two buried Jango next to Ailyn Vel , his granddaughter . Gev and Fett stayed on Mandalore for some time , with Gev staying in the home of a Mandalorian warrior named Novoc Vevut , one of the Mandalorians who had attended the meeting on Drall . While staying with Vevut , she grew enamored with Vevut ' s adopted son , Ghes Orade . Afterwards , Gev and Fett attended a meeting of the Mandalorian clans , held in a hall donated to the people of Mandalore by MandalMotors , the prevalent arms company in the Mandalore sector . The Mandalorians were anxious to fight in the ever - escalating conflict between the dominant galactic government , the Galactic Alliance , and a breakaway group of systems known as the Confederation . Under Mandalore Boba Fett ' s reign , the economy had been thrown into dire straits , with a flow of credits needed to import food . The meeting ended with Fett deciding not to back either side in the war , and calling two million Mandalorians to return to Mandalore to strengthen their homeworld after the devastation of the Yuuzhan Vong War . After the meeting adjourned , Gev departed with Fett to search for their missing clone , Skirata . Since Skirata was working as a bounty hunter , Fett came up with a plan to locate him . Gev would pose as a client looking to hire a bounty hunter , and would enlist the services of Skirata . The grandfather and granddaughter pair traveled in the " Slave I " to Bador , in the Core Worlds Kuat system . Once they landed on Bador , the two entered a local establishment known as the Paradise Cantina . The barkeeper and employees of the cantina , however , were hostile to the two , as the last Mandalorian to enter the cantina , Skirata , had killed a local crime boss named Cherit . The hostility from the bartender led to an all out brawl , with the Mandalorians winning . After the fight , the bartender told Gev and Fett that Cherit ' s successor , Fraig , might know of Skirata ' s whereabouts , and that Fraig could be found at the Tekshar Falls Casino . When the two reached the prestigious Tekshar Falls Casino , Gev introduced Fett to the receptionist as the " President of Mandalore " , gaining them entry . Once in the casino , Gev intimidated Fraig ' s Hamadryas bodyguard into letting Fett and her see him , by threatening to cut his carotid artery . When the two gained admission to Fraig ' s private suite and attempted to question him , Fraig was resistant . Gev and Fett were forced to intimidate the location of Skirata out of Fraig by attaching him to a fibercord and throwing him off a balcony . Faced with death , Fraig divulged that Skirata had a grudge against a Twi ' lek clan named Himar , giving Gev and Fett information on Skirata ' s whereabouts and activities . Gev and Fett were forced to fight their way out of the building , against an onrush of bodyguards after Fraig ' s interrogation , but were victorious and escaped the casino . While en route to the " Slave I " , chased by patrol vehicles , Gev was attacked by a large Strill named Mird . After the Strill had been neutralized , Skirata , its owner , appeared to them , ending their long search . Fett asked Skirata for Ko Sai ' s data , but Skirata said that the research had been destroyed after it was used on him and his brothers , and he no longer had a copy . Skirata feared that if he gave Fett a blood sample , Fett might sell it to the Kaminoans . However , he relented and agreed that if Fett gave him a sample of his blood , he might be able to return with a cure . Skirata ' s only condition was that Fett go back to Mandalore and follow a man named " Kad ' ika " advice . Fett agreed , and Gev took a sample of his blood for Skirata . Sintas Vel . With the search for Skirata at an end , Gev and Fett returned to Mandalore , where Gev continued to stay with Vevut and her new love , Ghes Orade . By this time , Gev had begun to consider marrying Orade . Gev would often go for walks on Mandalore with Orade , whose adoptive father , Vevut , encouraged the relationship , promising Gev a blaster that " could take the head off a dozen Trandoshans with one shot " should she marry Orade . Meanwhile , Fett finally used the Ko Sai data provided to him by Skirata to overcome his illness . Gev attended his medical procedure with Orade , and was introduced to Venku Skirata , also known as " Kad ' ika " . In a meeting with Venku Skirata and his friend Gotab in a Keldabe tapcafe , Fett asked Gotab if he could psychometrically read the Heart of Fire pendant . Gotab read the pendant , and discovered the location of Sintas Vel . According to Gotab ' s readings , Vel had been on the planet Phaeda , after an unsuccessful fight with a crime lord named Rezodar . Fett , in an attempt to finally get closure with his ex - wife after more than fifty years , commissioned Gev to bring him more information on Vel ' s situation . After some research , Gev discovered that Rezodar had died in 2 ABY , and had left a vast estate . Since the Phaedan government could not claim his possessions , they had been in storage for thirty - eight years , and the Phaedan state lawyer was more than happy than to give away some of Rezodar ' s possessions . However , by investigating further , Gev found out that Vel ' s body , frozen within a carbonite slab , was among these objects . Gev and Fett traveled to Phaeda together in the " Slave I " , intending to bring Vel back to Mandalore and thaw her from her carbonite slumber , before helping her rehabilitate . On route to Phaeda , Gev was excited that she would be able to meet her grandmother for the first time , while Fett dreaded seeing the woman he had abandoned years before . Once on Phaeda , they went to the planet ' s Registry of Testaments and Legacies , where Vel had been stored , and retrieved her body . The pair returned to Mandalore , where Vel was unfrozen . Over the next few months , Gev helped care for her grandmother as she dealt with memory loss and dementia caused by her years in carbonite . While Vel was under her granddaughter ' s care , Gev also gave her the Heart of Fire . Eventually , with the help of Gotab , Vel was able to fully recover both physically and mentally , and forgave Fett for leaving her and Ailyn . Around this time , a Jedi Knight named Jaina Solo came to Mandalore to be trained by Fett for an eventual duel with her brother , Jacen , who had risen to power as the Sith Lord Darth Caedus and the Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance . Despite her animosity towards Jedi , Gev and Solo would become good friends . Second Battle of Fondor . In 41 ABY , the planet Fondor seceded from the Galactic Alliance , triggering the Second Battle of Fondor , a Galactic Alliance effort to retake Fondor ' s valuable orbital shipyards . The Mandalorians joined the battle once they received word that long time Imperial Remnant leader Gilad Pellaeon had been murdered by Darth Caedus ' apprentice Tahiri Veila , and his flagship , the " Bloodfin " , had been taken . Consequently , the Mandalorians were ordered to board and gain control of the ship . Once Vel was well enough to be left on her own , Gev served on the crew of a " Tra ' kad " with several other Mandalorians and Jaina Solo during the battle . Fighting alongside Admiral Natasi Daala and her Maw Irregular Fleet , Gev and the Mandalorians boarded the " Bloodfin " . Following the death of Pellaeon , the crew of the " Bloodfin " had mutinied , leaving Veila trapped on the ship . While Gev , Solo and the Mandalorians were engaged in boarding the " Bloodfin " , they encountered Veila . Gev sneaked up on and attacked Veila , injuring her , before Darth Caedus , who had returned to rescue his apprentice , broke up the fight by Force - choking Gev . Fortunately for Gev , Jaina Solo was able to break Caedus ' telekinetic hold on the bounty hunter ' s throat . Gev lay injured on the deck of the ship until Boba Fett , who had accompanied the assault team , rescued her and brought her to safety . Gev would recover from her injuries , and the Mandalorians succeeded in taking the " Bloodfin " . Once Gev returned to Mandalore , she and Ghes Orade were married . Interrogation . After the Second Battle of Fondor the war continued to rage on , drawing the Imperial Remnant in to support Caedus and his followers . Gev fought along with Fett and Solo in the First Battle of Roche , once again serving in a " Tra ' kad " . The battle was fought to protect the Verpine from the Imperial Remnant , who sought to gain control of the species ' advanced technology . As business partners with the insectoid species , the Mandalorians could not afford to lose access to the Verpine technology , and rushed to the species ' aid . During the battle , Gev ' s husband Ghes Orade was shot down and injured . Orade survived , and Gev later led an assault team , intending to kill important Imperial personnel . Gev , along with Jaina Solo and a strike team of Mandalorian warriors , infiltrated the Imperial base on the Roche asteroid of Nickel One , with the objective of eliminating the ruling Moff Council in one swift stroke . Solo eventually split with them to chase after Darth Caedus , who was inside the Nickel One base . Gev and the Mandalorians managed to reach the meeting room of the Council , but were surprised by a large amount of Imperial Elite Guardsmen . The assault quickly turned disastrous for the Mandalorians , with almost all of the warriors killed in the fighting . Soon , Darth Caedus appeared , killing several more of the Mandalorians . When Gev tried to attack Caedus , the Sith Lord slammed her on her head , rupturing her spinal cord and paralyzing her temporarily . Caedus was later confronted by Jaina Solo , who cut off Caedus ' arm , although a Force illusion made Caedus believe that Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker struck the blow . Caedus took Gev as a prisoner following the battle . After the skirmish , Boba Fett , who thought that his granddaughter had been killed , became enraged at Jaina Solo and Luke Skywalker . Fett , dropping his guise of aloofness and revealing that he did care for his granddaughter , lambasted them for her apparent death . Gev was taken to Caedus ' flagship , the " Anakin Solo " . Gev was interrogated at the hands of Caedus and his apprentice Tahiri Veila ; she was still paralyzed , and Caedus promised treatment if Gev divulged how many Jedi had accompanied the Mandalorian strike team , along with their names . Specifically , Caedus wanted to ascertain who had cut off his arm in the battle . Gev refused to talk , but became frightened when Caedus convinced her that Fett had abandoned her , assigning her a suicide mission and landing her in her current situation . When Gev finally revealed that Jaina Solo , Caedus ' sister , was the lone Jedi , Caedus thought that she was lying , as he believed that he had fought both Solo and Luke Skywalker . Dissatisfied , he threatened to disfigure Gev and release a nanovirus that would kill both her and her grandfather Boba Fett . To protect her family , Gev lied and said that Skywalker had been with the team . However , Caedus was able to sense that she was lying about something , and took a sample of her blood , which he used to construct the nanovirus . Despite this , Caedus kept his promise to heal Gev . The nanovirus was then produced by Imperial scientists , and air - dispersed over Mandalore , making it impossible for Gev or Fett to ever set foot there again . Gev was eventually freed when the " Anakin Solo " was infiltrated by Jaina Solo , who planned to engage Caedus in a second duel and kill him . Solo visited Gev in the room in which the bounty hunter was being held captive . Having come to believe Caedus ' insinuations about Fett , Gev had become depressed , and told Solo that she would simply prefer to put herself out of her misery . Gev also told Solo that if she survived her impending confrontation with Caedus , she had to warn Fett about the nanovirus . Solo promised to do so , but was disturbed when Gev asked her to tell Fett that he deserved it , since Gev believed that Fett had sent her on a suicide mission and abandoned her . Solo was disconcerted by Gev ' s attitude , and was confused as to what Caedus had done to her mind . Before departing , Solo gave Gev a blaster . Solo would go on to defeat Darth Caedus in a lightsaber duel , ending both the threat of the Sith Lord and the Second Galactic Civil War . After defeating her brother , Solo told her friend Jagged Fel to rescue Gev from imprisonment and take her off the " Anakin Solo " . Mandalorian mercenary . By 45 ABY , Gev was no longer in custody . Reuniting with the Mandalorians , Gev had become the commander of the Mandalorian security force . However , Gev was still unable to return to Mandalore due to the nanovirus , and she became determined to remove the nanovirus from Mandalore ' s atmosphere . In this effort , she signed a contract with the Columi brothers , Craitheus and Marvid Qreph , who agreed to remove the nanovirus from her world . Taking a force of Mandalorian mercenaries , Gev worked for the Qrephs by driving asteroid miners out of the Chiloon Rift , a nebula in the Outer Rim Territories . Gev ' s Mandalorian forces were supplemented by Nargon s , a biot ic species created by the Qrephs . The Qrephs were attempting to arrest control of the Rift , and Gev and her forces worked to remove any competition . However , the Qrephs were more ruthless than Gev anticipated , and their dirty tactics brought them into a conflict with businessman , Lando Calrissian . Gev was present on the planet , Sarnus during a business deal between Calrissian and the Qrephs , but when Calrissian refused to sell his holdings in the Chiloon Rift , the Qrephs decided that he had to be eliminated . On board the Qreph ' s Marcadian luxury cruiser , " Aurel Moon " , Gev met with her employers to plan their next move . The Qrephs , determined to remove Calrissian , assigned Gev ' s Mandalorian forces to kill Calrissian and his allies , Han and Leia Organa Solo . Gev initially objected to the assignment , but the Qreph ' s assassin , Savara Raine convinced the Mandalorian leader that she would be doing the dirty work . Although Raine ' s efforts destroyed Calrissian ' s refinery on Sarnus , she failed to kill either the Solos or Calrissian . However , the Qrephs redoubled their efforts , and placed a one million credit bounty on Han Solo . Using information from the Qreph ' s spy , Dena Yus , Gev tracked Solo to the Blue Star casino on the planet Valnoos . After engaging Solo in a game of riftwalker , she announced that Solo was coming with her so that she could collect the bounty . Although she was backed by a dozen Mandalorian commandos , Solo ' s ally , Omad Kaeg , refused to let Solo be taken , and he attacked Gev ' s men . In the firefight that ensued , Solo slammed Gev against a sabacc table , breaking her nose , but the release of several arachnokiller s by Dena Yus kept Solo from taking control of the situation . As the arachnokillers destroyed the casino , Gev captured Solo . and escaped from the Blue Star in a " Tra ' kad " starship . Her departure was aided by Savara Raine , who was able to distract Solo ' s Jedi allies , Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo , preventing a rescue of Solo . Sabacc dealer . Gev brought Solo to the Qreph ' s mobile base of operations , the asteroid crusher , " Ormni " , but was not able to claim the bounty , as Savara Raine claimed that she was owed part of the reward for helping capture Solo . As Gev argued with the Qreph brothers about splitting the bounty , Raine showed the group evidence that the Jedi had placed a homing beacon on Gev ' s ship . Knowing that the Jedi now knew their location , the Qrephs and Gev boarded the Columi ' s personal ship , " Aurel Moon " , and prepared to depart with Solo , while Gev ' s forces , flying " Bes ' uliik " fighters provided escort . Skywalker and Organa Solo , piloting a ScragHull commando boat , arrived before Gev and the Qrephs could make their escape , but the timely intervention of Raine ' s starship , the Sith Meditation Sphere , " Ship " allowed the group to make their escape . After the group flew through the Chiloon Rift to the Qreph ' s secret base , the Columi ordered Gev to help them interrogate Solo . They hooked Solo up to sensors that accessed his brain , hoping to obtain answers . The Qreph brothers engaged Solo in a game of sabacc , betting information instead of credits . Gev acted as the dealer for the game , wearing a plastoid splint for her broken nose . The Qrephs asked pointed and personal questions to Solo , hoping to get a rise out of him and help them to map his mind , but Solo kept his cool and won the hand . However , the Qrephs were undeterred and continued to play sabacc against Solo . To counter Solo ' s gambling acumen , they employed a DSD - 1 torture droid to shock Solo , wearing him down and weakening his resolve . They also brought a Jedi they had captured , Ohali Soroc , a clone of Soroc , Ohali Two , and one of Gev ' s Mandalorians , Barduun , into the game . These tactics succeeded in hurting Solo ' s concentration , but he continued to play the Qrephs ' game . Gev continued to deal , reluctantly allowing the torture droid to inflict punishment when the Qrephs ' prisoners lost a game . As the torture increased , Solo was able to determine why Gev was working for the Qrephs , and he introduced doubt that the Columi could actually deliver what they had offered . However , Gev angrily continued the game , shocking Solo whenever he tried to manipulate the other players . When the Qrephs were called away from the game due to another matter , Gev was left to continue the game on her own , guarded by the Qrephs ' Nargon soldiers . The game was interrupted by Barduun . Driven insane by the Qrephs and tired of the game , he attacked his commander and freed Solo from the sensors attached to his brain . Ohali Soroc and her clone incapacitated the Nargon guards , and Solo was able to pull a vibroknife from Gev , using it to slash the Mandalorian ' s leg and take her MandalTech W202 holdout blaster . In the melee that resulted , Solo , Barduun and Ohali Soroc escaped while Soroc ' s clone was killed alongside a Nargon guard . Retribution . With the game over , Gev used a 2 - 1B surgical droid to repair her leg and was present when the Qrephs returned to the sabacc game to see that their prisoners had escaped . However , the Qrephs had greater problems , as the Jedi had found Base Prime and begun an assault on their compound . The two Columi put Savara Raine in charge of their forces , and Gev agreed to take her orders — on the condition that she be allowed to see the Qrephs ' lab where they were working to counteract the nanovirus . Under Raine ' s orders , Gev organized her Mandalorian commandos and the Nargons throughout the base to draw the infiltrating Jedi into a trap at the Qreph ' s space – time - warping gate . However , several of the Jedi ' s YVH - series battle droids tore into the base at rapid speed , forcing Gev and Raine to evacuate the Qrephs through their residence . In their escape , Craitheus was badly wounded when Raine used his body to shield the group from blasterfire . Marvid , enraged by the betrayal , attacked Raine and left her for dead . Gev was surprised by the turn of events , but she still held hope that the remaining Qrephs would help deal with the nanovirus . However , Raine was able to convince the Mandalorian that the Qrephs had been lying to her , a fact that Gev had refused to acknowledge . With the reward of a nanovirus cure no longer on the table , Gev decided to turn against her Columi employers . Although Gev was interested in killing the Qrephs for their duplicity , she listened to Raine , who persuaded her to live to fight another day . With Base Prime falling to the Jedi attack , Gev ordered her Mandalorian forces to abandon the base to the Jedi and retreat . She then carried the injured Savara Raine to her ship , the Sith Meditation Sphere , " Ship " , and the two escaped from the base . Upon demolishing Base Prime , the Jedi discovered no sign of Gev or her companion , believing the two to have escaped , with Gev still determined to find a cure to the nanovirus . Personality and traits . Mirta Gev was a strong woman whose Mandalorian training showed in her powerful physique . She was a powerful and compact warrior who was talented in close combat . She had light brown eyes and dark brown hair which she kept cut short enough to keep under her helmet . In her attempt to capture Han Solo , her nose was broken , and although she had it put in a plastoid splint , it healed awkwardly , causing her nose to appear crooked . Gev possessed a great loyalty to her late mother , who inspired her to go on her hunt for Boba Fett . However , once Gev finally met Fett , she was initially hostile , but eventually became closer to her grandfather , bonding over the care of Sintas Vel . Gev did not want to hate her grandfather , who was cold and forbidding , and tried to find ways to love him , even though she found it difficult to do so . She was curious about the grandmother whom she had never met , and undertook research to try and ascertain Sintas Vel ' s location . Once Gev found her grandmother , she was caring enough to tend to Vel . Gev was also a capable warrior and a good cook , possessing the two qualities most prevalent in Mandalorian women . She was , as a bounty hunter , good at tracking people down , as demonstrated when she caught up with Boba Fett and located Sintas Vel . Gev had a passion for weapons , and was also good at healing , caring for Boba Fett after his surgery , and later Sintas Vel . Gev , like many Mandalorians , was suspicious of and disliked Jedi . However , she managed to form a friendship with Jedi Knight Jaina Solo , who gained Gev ' s respect while Solo underwent training from Boba Fett to kill Darth Caedus . She later sent Solo her thanks after the she rescued her from Caedus ' s clutches . Gev , too , wanted to slay Caedus , but for her own personal reasons — retaliation for his killing of her mother , Ailyn Vel . Gev even went after the Sith Lord ' s apprentice , Tahiri Veila , attacking her viciously during the battle over Fondor even though Veila was never involved in Vel ' s death . However , Gev ' s torture at the hands of Darth Caedus eventually resulted in her friendship with Jaina falling apart , and by 45 ABY , they no longer kept in contact . When Gev was in the custody of Darth Caedus and under interrogation , she refused to surrender information to him even when he promised her medical treatment for the injuries she sustained at his hands during the second battle of Roche . However , she eventually gave up when her grandfather was threatened , and was genuinely terrified at the thought of a nanovirus attack on Mandalore , which Caedus later ordered despite Gev ' s desperate pleas to spare her homeworld and family . When the bounty hunter was later incarcerated on the prison deck of the " Anakin Solo " , she indicated to Jaina Solo that she would rather be put out of her misery than undergo further interrogation . Behind the scenes . Mirta Gev was created by author Karen Traviss for her novel " " , the second book of the " Legacy of the Force " series . Before appearing in " Bloodlines " , a picture of Gev was included in the " Star Wars Insider 86 " article , " " , which showed an illustration of a Mandalorian wedding by Tom Hodges . Although the article did not identify the Mandalorians in the picture , the illustration was later included in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " as a representation of Gev and her husband getting married . During the creation of the character , Gev was originally named Vessin Ghif , but this was changed to Mirta Gev before publication . After her first appearance , Gev appeared in Traviss ' next two novels , " " and " " . Gev also was featured in the final novel of " Legacy of the Force " , " " , written by Troy Denning . She was later included as an antagonist in Denning ' s follow - up novel to the " " series , " Crucible " . After her first depiction in " Star Wars Insider " , several sketches of Mirta Gev were included in Topps ' " Star Wars Galaxy Series 6 " . Several sketch cards of Mirta Gev by Shea Standefer showed her with the braids in her hair that were shown in the original Tom Hodges image . However , this hairstyle was not included when Gev was illustrated for inclusion in " The Essential Reader ' s Companion " . An image of Gev by Brian Rood depicted her with the dark hair that previous illustrations had shown , but did not include the braids . An additional image from the book by Joe Corroney which depicted her first appearance in " Bloodlines " also failed to include the braids that previous drawings had established . In Gev ' s first depiction in " Star Wars Insider 86 " , she is shown with armor painted orange and yellow and shaped for her feminine figure , but in " Bloodlines " , Gev ' s armor is described as " practical " with " no concessions to feminine fashion whatsoever . " In the sketches by Shea Standefer , she included the yellow color to Gev ' s armor . However , this was not included in the illustrations in " The Essential Reader ' s Companion " , as they showed her with simple gray armor that matched her description in " Legacy of the Force " . In " Crucible " , Denning mentions that Gev is outfitted in orange and gray armor .
