Gozetta Gozetta was a female human who , like her father and her grandfather before her , worked as a big game hunter . During the reign of the Galactic Empire , she set up a luxurious hunting lodge on the planet of Xirl , in Wild Space , where she intended to breed and hunt imported creatures . Biography . Early life . Born a human female , Gozetta came from a line of big game hunter s . Both her father and her grandfather practiced that activity in their own times , and she followed in their footsteps . She traveled to a hundred planet and moon s , hunting beasts and collecting their heads as trophies . However , she came to despise the heavily guarded tourist reserves in which she could only shoot what she was allowed to . Therefore , she decided to find a planet of her own . Mistress of Xirl . Gozetta built herself a motley crew comprising the human male Meggin , the Umbaran female Sata , and the Cerean male Delih . She also hired two mercenaries , the Pau ' an male Corin and the human male Bort . At some point during the age of the Galactic Empire , Gozetta and her crew explored Wild Space and discovered Xirl , a planet apparently devoid of native lifeforms bigger than a tree snake . Gozetta intended to populate Xirl with shipped - in dangerous creatures of her choosing , which would breed and thrive on the planet and provide the hunter with a constant supply of challenging preys . Meggin was specifically tasked with keeping the creatures alive long enough for the huntress to kill them . Gozetta established a luxuous hunting lodge on Xirl , in which she kept her trophies . The crew had at least two starship s : the freighter " Venture " , and Gozetta ' s private gold en shuttle . What the huntress did not know , however , was that the seemingly innocuous stinker s native to Xirl could grow to gargantuan sizes provided that they lived long enough . One such giant lived in a cave that had once been inhabited by humanoid s . Meeting the Grafs . At some point , things started to turn awry when Delih , Meggin , and Sata disappeared . Gozetta , Bort and Corin set off to locate their missing crew members , but to no avail . During the search , however , Gozetta noticed that soem kind of creature had torn two large holes in hull of the " Venture " — which she assumed was the work of her gundark s . The huntress also discovered the presence of two human youngling s , Lina and Milo Graf , and their mismatched droid caretaker , Crater . In addition to having discovered intruders on the planet she had claimed for herself , Gozetta also found out that a throng of stinkers had caused damage tto her lodge . the huntress , forced the children to accompany her and her mercenaries through the jungle , in search of whatever had struck the " Venture " . After following the trail , Gozetta and her reluctant hunting party arrived at the cave where the monstrous stinker resided . The huntress forced the Grafs to enter the cave and act as baits and lure the beast out . The children were forced to obey lest Gozetta refused to help them leave Xirl . The huntress then kept waiting for a while , standing in front of the cave ' s mouth while her mercenaries had taken cover . Eventually , Meggin burst out of the lair , followed by Sata , the Grafs , and , still in the shadows of the cavern , the giant stinker . Both her crew and the children attempted to reason her , but Gozetta would have none of it : she would stand her ground and kill the beast . However , after the stinker incapacitated Corin with a paralyzing agent and dragged him into the cave , the huntress finally realized she could not defeat that creature . She turned on her heels and started running in the opposite direction , dashing toward her golden shuttle which she had kept on standby back at the lodge , with no concern for the rest of the party . Last stand in the jungle . While Gozetta managed to board the shuttle and take it off the ground , the beast sprang for her and locked its pincers around the craft . After fighting for control , Gozetta managed to free herself from the beast ' s deadly embrace for a moment , but her triumph did not last , as the stinker managed to wrap the ship in its tongue and drag it into its mouth . The creature ' s then jaws closed on the shuttle , which broke and tumbled down into the trees . Against all odds , the huntress survived the crash with only minor wounds . Emerging from the shuttle ' s wreckage , she made one last stand against the monster , firing a rocket at it . However , the projectile missed its target , which forced Gozetta to back into the trees . The stinker then followed her in the thick forest , and the last that was heard or seen of both Gozetta and the stinker was a loud crash . Personality and traits . A pale - skinned woman with red hair and ice - blue eye s , Gozetta had a pitiless look upon her face and a cold smile . While she admired courage , she cared very little for the well - being of others and did not suffer cowardice . Hunting in the wild gave her thrills of excitement because of the challenges it brought . Equipment .
