Gamorrean poetry

Gamorrean poetry was written in the Gamorrese language by and for members of the Gamorrean species. Gamorrean males would write poetry for their wives during winter, or for females they intended to court. Some Gamorreans hired ghost-writers to write their poems for them, such as Liegeus Vorn and Sebastin Onyx.

==History==
At the Mirrsteel Heights towers on the Kwenn Space Station in Hutt Space, several Hutt-style chuba cantinas hosted nightly readings of Gamorrean poetry. At some point, the Human Liegeus Vorn spent a stint on Gamorr working as a ghost-writer for boars during their courting season. The Human Sebastin Onyx also made ends meet by working as a poet for the mostly illiterate boars, which included Guth, who wanted love poems for Kufbrug, a married Clan Matron.
In 13 ABY,The Essential Reader's Companion places the events of "Murder in Slushtime" in 13 ABY. Rog, Kufbrug's son-in-law, purchased a poem written in Gamorrean runes on parchment from Onyx, claiming it was for Guth. In reality, the poem was given to Vrokk, Kufbrug's husband, who was killed by a kheilwar wasp hidden inside the parchment, implicating Guth in the murder. The former Jedi Callista Ming, a shipmate of Guth's, conducted an investigation and learned of Gamorrean love poetry from Onyx in the process. 
By that year,The Essential Reader's Companion places the events of Planet of Twilight in 13 ABY, following "Murder in Slushtime." Vorn had wound up on the planet Nam Chorios as an editor of the Hutt Beldorion's pornography collection. When Vorn met the New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo, he remarked that his previous occupation as a ghost-writer of Gamorrean poetry on Gamorr was not as fearful as his present work. The comment caused Organa Solo to laugh.
==Behind the scenes==
Gamorrean poetry first appeared in the 1997 novel Planet of Twilight by Barbara Hambly. It was later identified in the 2015 sourcebook Lords of Nal Hutta, a supplement to Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars: Edge of the Empire roleplaying game.
