Guavian security soldier

Guavian security soldiers, also known as Guavian Death Gang soldiersStar Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded or Guavian Enforcers, were cybernetically enhanced humans employed as security soldiers by the criminals of the Guavian Death Gang in operation roughly thirty years after the Battle of Endor.
==Description==
Guavian security soldiers were recruited after swearing loyalty to the Guavian Death Gang in exchange for their cybernetic augmentation, a process known as mechamorphosis.Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide A mechanical reservoir-pump implant acted as a second heart, injecting a secret mixture of chemicals directly into each soldier's bloodstream to boost their physical abilities. The soldiers wore high-impact cybernetic armor and communicated via high frequency data streams, known as hyperwave channels, transmitted from the central sensor and broadcasting dish in their faceplates. The boots also contained selective magnetization hull grippers. Weaponry used by the soldiers consisted of black market prototype weapons, such as Tostovin Munitions's micro-grenade launcher and percussive cannon.
==History==
A squad of Guavian enforcers accosted Marcus Speedstar during the Platform Classic. They took his mechanic hostage in order to ensure that Speedstar paid back his debt, which he ultimately did after winning the race.
Guavian security soldiers accompanied Bala-Tik when he confronted Han Solo and Chewbacca the freighter Eravana about the 50,000 credits Solo had borrowed from the Guavian Death Gang and not yet returned. After Kanjiklub joined the confrontation and Bala-Tik recognized BB-8 as the astromech droid wanted by the First Order—having been brought to the ship by First Order fugitives Finn and Rey—Rey accidentally released the three rathtars that Solo was transporting. A skirmish subsequently broke out, which resulted in many security soldiers being killed.
A patrol of Guavian enforcers piloted Avandor-class fighter/transport in a skirmish in Guavian Death Space after the Colossus intruded on their territory, though most were destroyed.
==Behind the scenes==
