Gav Daragon Gav Daragon was a male Human hyperspace explorer who lived in the years up to and during the Great Hyperspace War . At a young age , Daragon was trained in the Force by the Jedi but neglected to fully join the Jedi Order . After his parents , Hok and Timar Daragon , died while running supplies to besieged soldiers on Kirrek , Daragon and his sister , Jori Daragon , inherited the " Starbreaker 12 " , one of their parents ' starships , and began careers as hyperspace trailblazers . However , trouble with creditors forced them to flee their homeworld of Koros Major and take a blind hyperspace jump into an uncharted area of the galaxy to avoid assassins and the authorities . When they pulled out of hyperspace , they stumbled upon the legendary Sith Empire , which had been isolated for millennia . Although Daragon tried to keep the meeting with the Sith peaceful , he and his sister were imprisoned by the reigning Sith Lords . Daragon and his sister were due to be executed , but they were rescued by one of the most powerful Sith Lords in the Sith Empire , Naga Sadow . Gav and Jori Daragon were hidden in Sadow ' s secret fortress on Khar Shian , where Sadow discovered Daragon ' s Force - sensitivity and began to train him in the dark side of the Force . Sadow was an expansionist and preached to Daragon that he would assist the Sith in a coming war with the Galactic Republic . Meanwhile , Sadow was in a power dispute with another Sith Lord , Ludo Kressh , leading Kressh to attack Sadow ' s citadel at Khar Delba . Sadow was victorious , and in the chaos he allowed Jori to escape in the " Starbreaker 12 " . With nothing standing in his way , Sadow — as new Dark Lord of the Sith — placed his new apprentice Daragon in charge of the Sith fleets and launched a two - pronged attack on the Galactic Republic , with major battles commencing on Coruscant and in the Koros system . Daragon personally commanded the attack on Koros Major but , hoping to find his sister on the planet below , took a dropship down to his former home city of Cinnagar . Daragon sought help from an old acquaintance , Aarrba , the owner of Aarrba ' s Repair Dock , but the old Hutt merely spat in his face . Interpreting this move as an attack , Daragon ' s Sith Massassi guards slew the Hutt . As a shocked Daragon stood over Aarrba ' s body , he was confronted by Jori , who blamed him for Aarrba ' s death . Overwhelmed by emotion , Daragon fled from his sister and returned to his flagship . No longer loyal to Naga Sadow due to the destruction that the war had caused to both his former home and his relationship with Jori , and feeling that he needed to put a stop to the violence , Daragon went to Primus Goluud , where Sadow was cloistered in his Sith Meditation Sphere , conjuring illusions for the war effort . Daragon fired on Sadow , breaking the Dark Lord ' s concentration ; however , Sadow was able to convince Daragon to meet him face - to - face . When Daragon arrived on the meditation sphere , he realized that he had been tricked ; the damaged sphere was empty . The Koros fleet soon arrived in - system along with Jori , and Daragon gave them the coordinates to the Sith Empire ' s home worlds . Telling his sister goodbye , Daragon was soon killed by solar flares that were summoned by Sadow . The Koros military took Daragon ' s coordinates and attacked Sadow at Korriban , routing him and ending the Great Hyperspace War . Biography . Early life . The Human male Gav Daragon was born on the Deep Core planet of Koros Major . He was the child of starship operators Hok and Timar Daragon and had a sister , Jori Daragon . At some point in Daragon ' s childhood , he was found to be Force - sensitive and was trained in the Jedi arts . However , he neglected to fully join the Jedi Order . As children , both Gav and Jori Daragon were given pendants , both containing halves of the same crystal ; the two halves tingled when in close proximity to one another . Acquiring the Starbreaker 12 . In 5000 BBY , the Koros system was flung into civil war as its political leader , Empress Teta , began a war intended to unify the seven worlds of the system . The war went very well for Teta and her forces , as they were able to successfully unite six of the seven worlds in mutual commerce and aid . However , Koros soldiers on the seventh world , Kirrek , had become encircled and besieged by pirates and rebels led by a man named Llaban . While the Koros soldiers were being besieged , many supply runners in civilian ships were called into action to run supplies to the soldiers , including Hok and Timar Daragon . Before their parents ' mission , the Daragon siblings accompanied them to Aarrba ' s Repair Dock in the city of Cinnagar , a starship repair yard owned by a Hutt named Aarrba , to get their parents ' main ship , the " Shadow Runner " , repaired . Aarrba restored the ship for only a percentage of the Daragons ' profits , and Daragon and his sister then offered to follow in the Daragons ' other ship , the " Starbreaker 12 " . However , their parents refused , saying that it was too dangerous . Aarrba had decided to keep the " Starbreaker 12 " as collateral until the Daragons returned , ruling out any possibility that their children could follow . Meanwhile , the Koros forces on Kirrek were joined by two Jedi Knights : Empress Teta ' s personal advisor , Memit Nadill , and Odan - Urr , a Draethos scholar who had never seen battle before . Together , the two Jedi used an exotic Force power known as battle meditation , which could strengthen the morale and resolve of the Koros soldiers and heighten the fears and doubts of the Kirrek rebels . The use of the ability turned out to be an enormous success , and the Koros forces were able to drive back the rebels . However , the battle meditation had an unexpected side - effect , as it unleashed the last reserves of desperation for the rebels . They began firing at the weakest targets so as to eliminate as many as possible before they themselves were doomed for defeat . The " Shadow Runner " arrived at Kirrek soon after and was set upon by the pirate guns . Hok and Timar attempted to fly in low and fast and drop the cargo but were unable to take sufficient evasive action , and the ship was destroyed . Daragon and his sister were still at Aarrba ' s Repair Dock during the battle , working on repairs for the " Starbreaker 12 " . When Aarrba received word about Hok and Timar ' s death , he attempted to inform the Daragon siblings ; they initially believed that the news was that their parents were returning home . However , Aarrba revealed that their parents had been killed and gave them the " Starbreaker 12 " , telling them that their parents had paid for it in blood . While Daragon and his sister were shocked and saddened at first , they decided to take the " Starbreaker 12 " and explore the galaxy , hoping to honor their parents ' memory . Into the unknown . Now in ownership of the " Starbreaker 12 " , Gav and Jori Daragon became hyperspace explorers . The two were not particularly successful and acquired debts to numerous creditors , including Aarrba , but Daragon remained continually optimistic about their chances of blazing a trail that would bring in lucrative profits . One of their most successful endeavors was the Goluud Corridor , a route passing through the Goluud system . The route was approved by the bureaucrat Shodon Ko of the Navigators ' Guild , but its assigned risk factor was high , as it crossed dangerously close to the system ' s unstable red supergiant star , Primus Goluud . During their travels , the Daragons gained a reputation with Cinnagar Control of being both reckless and persistent explorers . The pair ' s debts accumulated , forcing them to sell their dwelling in Cinnagar to Aarrba as collateral for repairs after one run . One day , Daragon and his sister went on a hyperspace jump that the former had a good feeling about ; the two tried to navigate the treacherous Starswarm Cluster , a route that could potentially net them a fortune from the Navigators ' Guild . They made it through the Cluster , but their ship sustained damage , and they only succeeded in mapping a dangerous trail that not returned them any profit . Daragon and his sister were left to limp back to Koros and lost several more critical parts during the journey . The two made their way to Aarrba ' s Repair Dock , but Aarrba was hesitant to help them , stating that they had no more collateral to offer him . However , the Hutt agreed to repair the ship on one condition : Aarrba would keep the " Starbreaker 12 " at his dock until repairs were paid in full . Soon afterward , Daragon received word from Shodon Ko that a Cha ' a merchant lord named Ssk Kahorr had used the Goluud Corridor and that a substantial bonus was coming . Daragon took this as a source of pride and quickly informed Aarrba of the incoming money that he would use to pay for the " Starbreaker 12 " repairs . After leaving Aarrba ' s Repair Dock , Daragon was accosted by two armed men who informed them that Ssk Kahorr wanted him and Jori dead . The men told him that Kahorr was angry , as the Goluud Corridor had resulted in the destruction of one of his ships , and that Shodon Ko had been recently found murdered . After this incident , Daragon returned to Jori on the Cinnagar streets and recounted his encounter with the men , but also assured her that he would petition the Navigators ' Guild for their money . However , they were interrupted by the same two men that Daragon had encountered earlier ; this time , the men revealed their allegiance to Ssk Kahorr and attacked . Daragon and Jori attempted to escape , and were pursued through the streets on Cinnagar , before being cornered in a dead - end alley . However , they were saved by Memit Nadill and Odan - Urr , who happened to be passing through the area . One of the attackers was slain by Odan - Urr ' s lightsaber , and the other fled . Nadill warned Daragon and his sister that the two were not safe in Cinnagar , or on all of Koros , and the two decided to leave the system . Finding themselves without a way to get off - world , Daragon came up with the idea to steal the " Starbreaker 12 " and escape . Jori agreed , and they took the ship ; they left Aarrba ' s dock with no trouble but were forced to take evasive action once in orbit to escape security ships . Jori entered random coordinates into the navicomputer , and the two fled into the unknown . The Sith Empire . The " Starbreaker 12 " flight path in hyperspace took her farther than any recorded vessel from Galactic Republic space had ever gone . After a long trip , Daragon decided to pull the " Starbreaker 12 " out of hyperspace . When they reverted to realspace , they found themselves overlooking a mysterious world . It was only then that they realized how far they had gone ; Daragon checked the navicomputer , and saw that they were in a remote , unmapped section of the galaxy . However , the return course was locked in the navicomputer so that they would be able to find their way home . With a smile , Daragon assured Jori that their route would make them an untold fortune from the Navigators ' Guild . Daragon was unsure if the dark world before them was inhabited and decided to touch down and explore , realizing that he and his sister were representing the Republic . Daragon landed the ship in a monument - filled valley and introduced himself and his sister to the planet ' s inhabitants . Much to their surprise , the Daragons were not welcomed by the natives but were instead promptly arrested and detained . Little did Daragon know that he and his sister had stumbled across the fabled Sith Empire , which had been isolated from the galaxy for centuries . He had landed in the middle of the funeral of the recently deceased Dark Lord of the Sith Marka Ragnos , which had degenerated into a duel between two Sith Lords , Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow . Now prisoners , Daragon and his sister were kept in the prisoner level in a fortress on the planet Ziost , the capital world of the Sith Empire . Meanwhile , in the levels above , a great debate raged concerning the Daragons ' future . The more conservative Ludo Kressh wanted them to be killed immediately , contending that they were precursors to a Republic invasion , while the progressive Naga Sadow wanted to keep them alive , insisting that they possessed vital information that could facilitate expansion of the Sith Empire . In the dungeons , Daragon struggled to keep his optimism , noting that all great explorers occasionally fell upon hard times . Finally , the two were approached in their cell by a Sith Lord named Simus , who informed them that their fate had been decided : they were to be executed as soon as possible . Daragon was irate at this news and protested that they had not been given a fair trial and that they had given the Sith no information whatsoever , but these complaints fell on deaf ears . Unbeknownst to the Daragons , however , Naga Sadow had formulated a plan to free Daragon and his sister , so as to bring about renewed contact with the Republic . Sadow secretly took a task force of Sith Massassi warrior s to Ziost and attacked the fortress . Sadow ordered the Massassi to go to the prisoner level and take the Daragons in order to ensure that the siblings were not harmed . At the time , the Daragons were at their most distraught , huddled together and lamenting their fate . Daragon surmised that he should have continued his Jedi training and bemoaned the fact that the random spin of the navicomputer coordinates had brought them here . When he heard the Massassi coming , Daragon straightened up and vowed not to go down without a fight . However , they were greeted not by executioners , but by Naga Sadow , who had eliminated the guards . Sadow told the Daragons that he was rescuing them and ordered them to follow the Massassi to his ship . Sadow had Daragon taken to his hidden fortress on the moon of Khar Shian , while he returned to Ziost for an urgent meeting of Sith . Daragon and his sister were finally safe . Sadow ' s apprentice . Upon reaching Khar Shian , Daragon and his sister were split up , with Jori being brought to Sadow ' s decoy fortress on Khar Delba . Although Sadow insisted that Daragon was not a prisoner , the young man was soon overwhelmed by boredom . In the meantime , Naga Sadow recognized Daragon ' s Force - sensitivity and taught him several rudimentary techniques in the dark side of the Force , powers that Daragon realized were very different from those he had learned from the Jedi . Daragon was also educated in the exotic arts of Sith magic . Sadow encouraged Daragon and revealed to him that he harbored a very strong , undeveloped talent . Daragon learned that Sadow expected him to become a Force adept before the Human would be allowed to return home . Unbeknownst to Daragon , Sadow was working in his own machinations in the meantime ; he staged a Republic attack on the " Starbreaker 12 " hangar — which was under Kressh ' s direct control — and had his men steal the ship . Arriving after the attack had taken place , Ludo Kressh was infuriated when he found Sadow ' s emblem at the scene . Angered by Sadow ' s treachery , Kressh gathered two of his allies , Horak - mul and Dor Gal - ram , and launched an attack on Sadow . Kressh and his allies attacked Khar Delba with all their firepower . On Khar Shian , Daragon noticed the fire of the battle and was bewildered by the occurrences , having no knowledge of the current events . When he tried to ask the Massassi guards what was going on , they refused to respond . Although Daragon was distraught at being out of the loop , he supposed that Sadow knew what he was doing and was solely concerned with his sister Jori ' s safety . Eventually , Daragon discovered a way to monitor the battle from Khar Shian and surmised that Naga Sadow could use all his time to teach him Sith abilities , as he was the only student that Sadow had left . Additionally , Daragon discovered that the " Starbreaker 12 " was gone ; with Sadow ' s help , Jori had escaped the Sith Empire in the ship . Meanwhile , in the battle , Sadow used deception and trickery to decimate Kressh ' s fleet . Defeated , Kressh fled . Preparations . On Khar Delba , Daragon was at Naga Sadow ' s side while he oversaw the reconstruction and repairs to the citadel that had been attacked by Kressh . During this time , Sadow — who had risen to be the new Dark Lord of the Sith with Kressh ' s defeat — gave him jewels and boasted about the opulence and glory of the Sith Empire , stating that the Republic would give them everything they needed . Although Daragon was initially reluctant to help Sadow strike at the Republic , memories of his suffering and destitute life on Koros Major following his parents ' death , accompanied with Sadow ' s persuasion , convinced him otherwise . By that time , Sadow had gained the support of all the other Sith Lords . One day , Sadow had Daragon accompany him to a meeting on the newly repaired citadel on Khar Delba , where Sadow proclaimed that the Sith Empire ' s fleet was ready to move out across the starlanes and attack the Republic . However , Sadow was interrupted by an urgent message ; Ludo Kressh had returned in his flagship . Sadow and Daragon promptly received a communiqué from Kressh , who proclaimed that Sadow was a traitor . After hearing this message , Daragon was ordered to activate the automated systems that would jam the transmission . However , when Daragon turned the system on , the citadel ' s turrets activated , destroying the ship and seemingly killing Kressh . Daragon was furious at Sadow ' s trickery , as he had never killed before , but Sadow reassured him that he had done an important deed , clearing the way on the road to the Republic . Sadow then revealed that he had placed a tracking device on the " Starbreaker 12 " , showing to them the way back to the Republic , and that the time had come to attack . With war preparations in full swing , Daragon went with Sadow to Ch ' hodos , the central base of the Sith Lord Shar Dakhan , for a military rally . It was there that Daragon learned from Sadow that he would be remembered in history as a victorious hero upon his return to the Republic . Daragon replied that he was only excited to see Jori again and told Sadow of his desire to keep her safe during the fighting ; Sadow assured him that the fighting would not last long and would end in a rout . Meanwhile , preparations continued , with Sadow amassing a large force from all corners of the Sith Empire , including a substantial fleet and an even larger army of ground troops and war beasts . When the Sith force was finally ready , the fleet gathered near Khar Shian , which served as the army ' s staging point . Daragon took up post on Naga Sadow ' s personal Sith Meditation Sphere . With the war ' s beginning in sight , Daragon questioned the strategy of leaving the Sith Empire ' s worlds undefended while the fleet went to fight the Republic . However , Sadow replied that they needed to focus on their new target . Sadow then gave Daragon a large responsibility ; because of his service and knowledge of the Republic , Sadow appointed Daragon the commander of the force from the bridge of Sadow ' s flagship . Although Daragon was hesitant to do so , as he had never commanded anything before , he ultimately accepted the offer . Now ready to fight , the Sith force launched to initiate the Great Hyperspace War . The Great Hyperspace War . Following the " Starbreaker 12 " beacon , the massive Sith fleet arrived in the Koros system and immediately found the " Starbreaker 12 " flying in local space . Daragon was shocked , believing that he had found Jori . However , despite Daragon ' s protests , Sadow ordered his men to lock onto the ship and fire , obliterating the ship . Angered , Daragon hoped that Jori was not on the ship ; Sadow responded by telling Daragon to check his sensors , which showed that there were no Human lifeforms on the " Starbreaker 12 " . Sadow then set the plan into motion , ordering the fleet to split in two . One part attacked the Koros system , while the remainder of the force struck at the heart of the Republic , Coruscant . Withdrawing to his meditation sphere , Sadow informed Daragon that he would be leading the main fleet . Daragon led the Sith force on a large attack on the Koros system , fighting both Teta ' s soldiers and Llaban ' s fighters — who had joined forces with the Empress — on Kirrek . With the battle fully underway , Daragon decided to personally land in Cinnagar with a contingent of Massassi guards , believing that if he could shut down Cinnagar ' s defenses , they would win a near - bloodless victory . He also hoped to find Jori amidst the chaos . Daragon took the trip back to Cinnagar in a Sith dropship and wept upon seeing the devastation that he had inflicted upon his city . He landed near Aarrba ' s Repair Dock and entered the shop , hoping to find Jori , as his pendant was glowing . Daragon pleaded with Aarrba for his help ; however , the aged Hutt merely spat in his face . Interpreting the move as an attack on their commander , the Massassi guards attacked Aarrba , stabbing him in the abdomen with a spear . Mortally wounded , the Hutt ' s last act was to crush his assailants by rolling off his hoversled onto them . Shocked , Daragon reprimanded the remaining guards , saying that Aarrba ' s action had not been an attack . At that moment , Jori Daragon entered Aarrba ' s Repair Dock and , upon witnessing the scene , blamed Daragon for Aarrba ' s death . Stunned and grieved , Jori proclaimed that Daragon was not the brother that she knew . She withdrew a lightsaber , given to her by Odan - Urr before the battle , and attacked and killed the Massasi guards . Jori confronted Daragon , asking why he had done all the things he did . Overwhelmed by sadness , Daragon cast his pendant at Jori ' s feet and fled . Death . Daragon ran to his dropship and returned to his main battleship . He knew that he needed to stop Naga Sadow and end the war . Daragon ordered the battleship to go into hyperspace , along his old route the Goluud Corridor , and head for the Goluud system , where Sadow was waiting in his meditation sphere . Sitting alone on the bridge , Daragon pondered the events of the Great Hyperspace War and expressed his extreme regret at the deaths that he had caused . His faith in the Sith Empire shattered , Daragon ordered the ship ' s gunners to fire on Sadow ' s meditation sphere , where Sadow was sequestered conjuring illusions to assist the war effort . The attack did indeed break Sadow ' s concentration , and on both Coruscant and Koros , Sadow ' s illusions disappeared into nothingness , causing the battles to turn in favor of the Republic . Sadow messaged Daragon , asking that he come to the meditation sphere to face him , and he accepted . Upon reaching the meditation sphere , however , Daragon found it empty and realized that he had been tricked . A message from Sadow came over the intercom speakers , calling Daragon a traitor and announcing that he would deal with him after the fighting had finished . Inside the damaged sphere , Daragon frantically searched for a working system , finding that only the comm operated properly . Daragon attempted to contact Teta ' s forces , and they arrived almost immediately , including both Jori and Empress Teta , who told Daragon to surrender and prepare to be boarded . Daragon instead told them that the Sith Empire had left their home worlds undefended and that the Koros fleet could attack and seal victory . However , at that moment , the remnants of Sadow ' s battered fleet arrived in the Goluud system , attacking the Koros forces . Sadow , now in control , used a secret weapon to trigger solar flares in the unstable Primus Goluud . Knowing what Sadow had done would surely kill him , Daragon told Jori and the Koros forces to escape while they still could . Sadow ' s forces fled back to the Sith Empire , while Jori could not bring herself to leave her brother . Gav Daragon ' s final words were to tell his sister goodbye , and the Koros forces left the Goluud system while Daragon perished in the meditation sphere . Legacy . Back on Cinnagar , Gav Daragon ' s sister Jori took over operations on Aarrba ' s Repair Dock after the conclusion of the war . Years after his lifetime , Gav Daragon was remembered for his role in starting the Great Hyperspace War , including in a of Jedi history and lore created by the Jedi historian Tionne Solusar in 40 ABY . In the years after the Daragons , some historians pointed out that the Great Hyperspace War might have been avoided had Jedi Odan - Urr not saved the Daragons from Kahorr ' s assassins , but Solusar believed that the Daragons could not be held responsible for the start of the war . The pair ' s role was long remembered throughout history for blazing what was considered one of the most remarkable hyperlanes of the Old Republic era . The hyperlane , named the Daragon Trail , provided a passage directly from the Deep Core to Sith space . He was additionally mentioned in a historical text written by the historian Voren Na ' al long after Daragon ' s death . During the Cold War between the Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire , a " Valor " - class cruiser was named the " Gav Daragon " in Daragon ' s honor . Personality and traits . Gav Daragon was always very optimistic , despite his poor financial situation . Every time he went on a hyperspace run , he was always convinced that it would be the one that would get him and Jori their fortune . Even after countless failures , he never lost his optimism , and when he and Jori were confined to a small , cramped cell in the Sith Empire , Daragon still preached that it could be worse . His optimism was only surpassed by his love and caring for his sister Jori , which led him to willingly serve Naga Sadow to help him to give her a better life . Daragon would do anything to help Jori , including aiding in the attack on his home Cinnagar and the Galactic Republic as a whole . Even with the end of his life drawing near and the Koros forces ' order for him to surrender , Daragon helped Jori by telling them of the Sith Empire ' s crucial weakness and then to leave before they were killed by Primus Goluud ' s solar flares . Although he only aided Sadow to help Jori , Daragon came to greatly regret his complicity in the Great Hyperspace War . In his dropship , finally witnessing the destruction that he had wrought upon his home , Daragon wept for his role in igniting the conflict . Also , when confronted by Jori in Aarrba ' s Repair Dock , Daragon could not bring himself to explain his actions , overwhelmed by grief and remorse . Gav Daragon was a very daring individual ; even as a relatively young and inexperienced pilot , he still offered to accompany his parents on a very dangerous mission to run supplies to the besieged Koros soldiers on Kirrek . When confronted by Kahorr ' s bounty , Daragon recklessly stole his ship from Aarrba ' s Repair Dock , made a daring escape from Cinnagar security forces , and fearlessly jumped into unknown territory . He did not fear meeting the Sith upon making his first landing on Korriban and instead greeted them with a smile . He quickly lost faith and became apathetic and distraught when they were imprisoned on Ziost . However , by the end of his apprenticeship to Naga Sadow , Daragon had regained his nerve . Knowingly disobeying Sadow , Daragon rebelled and tried to eliminate his Sith Master over Primus Goluud , knowing that he had a chance to end the violence . Although aware of the risks , Daragon still decided to go across to Sadow ' s Sith Meditation Sphere to face him down . Despite being tricked , Daragon did not panic and was able to guide his sister and the Koros forces to safety in the last moments of his life . Powers and abilities . Gav Daragon was naturally Force - sensitive , and in his childhood , his affinity for the Force was strong enough that he was trained in the Jedi arts by Jedi Masters . Although he declined to fully join the Jedi Order , he still recalled some of the techniques that he was taught , while in adulthood . This Force - sensitivity was later rediscovered by Naga Sadow , who trained him in the dark side of the Force and in the techniques of Sith magic . Daragon remarked that the powers taught to him by Sadow , including the ability to conjure illusions , were radically different from the ones taught to him by the Jedi . Behind the scenes . The character of Gav Daragon was conceived and written by Kevin J . Anderson for the " " comic book series and first appeared in " " , Anderson ' s second solo story arc following the conclusion of " " . For the first five issues of " The Golden Age of the Sith " series , he was sketched by penciller Dario Carrasco , Jr . , and black - and - white drawings of the character were included in the back of the first issue of " The Golden Age of the Sith " . He subsequently appeared in one later installment of " Tales of the Jedi " that was entitled " " , and various reference materials describing the events and characters of the series , including " The New Essential Guide to Characters " and " The New Essential Chronology " , both by Daniel Wallace . The Daragon Trail was later explicitly placed and drawn in the 2009 reference book " The Essential Atlas . " Gav Daragon also was depicted in that work , with the illustration drawn by Chris Trevas . Although Gav Daragon ' s eyes were said to be blue in " The New Essential Guide to Characters " , they are clearly brown in both of the " Tales of the Jedi " arcs in which he appears . This article uses the " The New Essential Guide to Characters " , as it is the only source that explicitly states the eye color .
