Biography

"Cham is still angry; he feels betrayed."

―Gobi Glie^[2]

During the year 22 BBY,^[4] he was contacted by Cham Syndulla and joined the Twi'lek freedom fighters in battling the Separatists.

During the battle, Gobi served as Cham's deputy and led the freedom fighters to aid the Grand Army of the Republic under the command of Jedi General Ima-Gun Di and Captain Keeli. However, even the combined forces of the Republic and the freedom fighters were inferior to the battle droids, so Cham ordered Gobi and the freedom fighters to retreat. Even if the Jedi and the clone troopers were trying hard to defend the planet, Gobi was less averse to standing, but he obeyed Cham's command. General Di and the remaining clones were going to a battle against the droid army one last time, allowing Gobi and other Twi'leks to escape over the mountains. Shortly thereafter, the freedom fighters received a replenishment delivery from the Republic blockade runners, which enabled their long struggle.^[2]

However, they were initially forced to find a new hiding place after the Separatists took control of the capital city under the command of Wat Tambor. While remaining in a hidden base, Gobi used his musical talents to create a ballad for Cham. Although Cham claimed that honor was unjustified, Gobi told him that he was a hero to the people of Ryloth.^[3] Eventually, Gobi continued to battle the Separatists until badly wounded by a droid shot. When Jedi Master Mace Windu and his platoon arrived to aid the freedom fighters, Gobi joined the battle in retaking Lessu and the capture of Wat Tambor. After the Separatists fled the planet, the people of Ryloth were free and the battle was over.^[5]
