Having learned of her husband ' s plan , Gianna asked an Imperial - aligned individual to bring back her son . The individual agreed to carry out the task and found Kendrel in the spaceport . After defying the individual ' s request to send his son to Korriban , Kendrel was killed . Biography . Gianna was a female Human who lived during the Cold War . Some time before 3643 BBY , Gianna married a man named Kendrel , who had trained on the planet Korriban to become Sith and serve the Empire . He failed his trials and fled before the Sith could kill him . Instead of serving the Empire , he came to serve a Hutt on the planet Nal Hutta . The pair had a son despite this humiliation and named him Zi ' am . When they discovered the boy was Force - sensitive like his father , Gianna wanted to send him to Korriban so he too could train to serve the Empire as a Sith . Kendrel , however , refused to allow his son to go through the same terrible experience he had training as a Sith and so took the boy and attempted to flee with him . The pair reached the spaceport in the industrial town of Jiguuna , where they arranged to travel off - planet . However , a comm officer named Mekks , who worked at the spaceport , recognized the pair and informed the boy ' s mother since he owed her a favor . Gianna then traveled to a cantina in Jiguuna called the Poison Pit , where she sought help to retrieve her son . Gianna eventually approached an Imperial - aligned individual and asked that they help her retrieve her son . She offered to reward them for returning Zi ' am and claimed she was willing to give them everything she had if they helped . The individual agreed and before they left for the spaceport Gianna warned them that Kendrel might not give up the boy peacefully . The individual found Mekks in the spaceport , and the comm officer called over Kendrel and Zi ' am . Once the individual explained why they were there , Kendrel refused to hand over the boy as he didn ' t want to risk his son ' s death in the Sith trials . The father asked that the individual let them flee and tell Gianna they had gone to Korriban so she wouldn ' t search for them . The individual refused and shot Kendrel , killing him before before he could react . After his father ' s death , Zi ' am fled home to his mother , although visibly upset by his father ' s death . Upon the individual ' s return , Gianna thanked them for retrieving her son and informed them that he would soon be sent to Korriban . She stated that she didn ' t care what had happened to her husband but that Zi ' am ' s grief and hatred of her due to his father ' s death would help him to become a strong Sith . She then paid the individual 30 credits for their work . Gianna then sent Zi ' am to Korriban , as she had planned to , where he came under the tutelage of a Sith overseer named Harkun . Personality and traits . Gianna cared deeply for her son Zi ' am and was willing to give up all she owned for him to be returned to her from her husband . She believed that he was talented in the Force and would one day grow up to be a strong and powerful Sith who could defend her . Gianna was willing to have Zi ' am hate her for her involvement in her husband ' s death and was not upset by her son ' s grief , as she believed both would make him stronger . She cared little for her husband Kendrel and thought him a failure and a coward due to the fact he did not complete his training on Korriban . She considered that their marriage had been dead for a number of years prior to Kendrel ' s actual death . Behind the scenes . Gianna first appeared in the video game " " , which was released by BioWare and LucasArts in 2011 , voiced by Adrienne Wilkinson . She is involved in the quest " Dreams of Korriban " on Hutta , where she asks the player to retrieve her son from her husband . The player has a choice to either allow Kendrel and Zi ' am to flee once they reach the spaceport ( light side ) or to kill Kendrel and return his son to his mother ( dark side ) . If the player chooses to allow the pair to flee , the only options when returning to Gianna are to lie , saying that her son was taken to Korriban . This article assumes that the player chose to take the " dark side " option and killed Kendral due to the fact only Imperial characters of the Bounty Hunter or Imperial Agent class can undertake this quest . This is due to its location on Nal Hutta , which Republic players cannot access . If the player kills Kendrel , then they will receive a message from Overseer Harkun , informing them that Zi ' am is now training on Korriban , and rewards the player with 13 credits .
