Cipple, Glann– The most prominent gangleader in Setnin Sector history.   Once the leader of the travelling race the Muyaden, Cipple came into the Setnin Sector from the world of Klaem in the Corb Sector fifty-five years before the Battle of Yavin after betraying his people to the ancient alien Longbody.  Making a name for himself working as a smuggler for the Setnin Sectors then major crime boss Duze Jostenn, Cipple soon hooked up with fellow operators Dressel, Riger and Dessio D’Staan. With Cipple occasionally using the pseudonym of Mister Gold the quartet made significant inroads into building a new crime syndicate, with runs into the Core.  Later joined by Anzai Karoo, the group challenged Jostenn’s lofty position.  For twelve years they built their powerbase until Cipple had a secret affair with D’Staan’s wife Jeriah. A day after the birth of their child Armella, D’Staan left the sector with his family and headed for the Core, taking details of the lucrative Core Runs with him.  Having plunged all their money into the Core runs Cipple, Dressel and Riger conspired to sell out Luschia Arkensaws Jedi family to the Empire for a million credits.  Riger disappeared under mysterious circumstances and after paying off Karoo, Cipple and Dressel continued their partnership for a brief time but after a massive altercation they went their separate ways – Cipple to Amagad and Dressel to Cawbate.  Cipple decided to begin hiring trusted agents, taking Duze Jostenns Mon Calamarian assassin Carlonian Feese.  Feese had made his presence known by assassinating his own employer Jostenn after Cipple and Jostenn had entered into a business partnership.  Cipple decided that to legitimise his public image he would run for the governorship of Amagad City, which he won with the assistance of chief justice Garris Tarainnew and local Imperial General Kriner.  Before long Cipple made himself master of the Setnin underworld, much to the consternation of Dressel and Grand Moff Treece.  Remaining governor for twenty-four years, Cipple saw off Gang Wars and various challenges on his position.  Glann hired such operators as Jan Lomona and Goah Galletti and fell in love with one of his smugglers, Bella with whom he had two daughters, Bessa and Brea.  Cipple rarely left the luxurious confines of his Mount Fava Fortress, preferring to work on genetic experiments like the Coryarthanax, the clone of Goah Galletti and the Hunter Killer Lawkeeper project in locations as diverse as his Fortress and the Euphoria Station - fieldwork was left to his many agents.  After the fall of the Empire at Endor Cipple faced other challenges – two Gang Wars followed, despite Cipple having many of his opponents eliminated.  His first fall came after the discovery of the legendary Starship Heed.  Upon selling it to Admiral Korne Lans the ship was sabotaged by mercenary Luschia Arkensaw.  Certain of betrayal Lans levelled Amagad City, but only after the Heed had crashed into the Bay of Amagad and flattened the city with a tidal wave.  Leaving Amagad with Carlonian Feese, Cipple lost his wife, newborn daughter, his business and the respect that he had so carefully built over the past forty years.  His whereabouts were unknown until he resurfaced seven years later, working alongside Zobian Pirates and the Bedois dark force user Arcc Nedeen in a plan to invade and take the Setnin Sector by brute force.  Cipple was ultimately located by the bounty hunter Queed and brought to the world of Trefnare where he had a final meeting with Dressel, Anzai Karoo and Queed/Riger.  Dressel, Karoo and Queed died, leaving Cipple as the only surviving member of the Happy Contrivers – until his nemesis Longbody appeared from the shadows just as he had promised decades before and took Glann away to meet his destiny.  Despite his treacherous betrayal of his former employees and colleagues, and despite working on the fringes of civilised society, Glann Cipple had a massive hand in shaping the destiny of the entire Setnin Sector.
