Zednich was born on a cold unforgiving planet called Garnib. Garnib was a moonless planet covered in glaciers and one main ocean at the equator. His father and mother ran to the Outer Rim in search of sanctuary after the Hutts put a bounty on his father’s head. Together they made a nice life for themselves and gave birth to Zednich. Zed did not remember much of his father because he died when Zed was a teenager. Zed’s father worked for the Garnib Crystal Corporation and died when the mine he was working in caved in. Zed’s mother was the daughter of a farmer on Taanab. It was love at first sight when she met Zed’s father and never hesitated when they had run.
