- "Fine. Just tell him that he can group kills by dozens or gross lots. It makes no difference to me."
"Gross lots, sir?"
"A dozen dozen, Emtrey." - ―Wedge Antilles and Emtrey
A gross referred to a dozen dozen, or one hundred and forty-four in Galactic Basic Standard. It was typically used to measure lots for cargo shipment throughout the galaxy, it was also sometimes used to measure a particularly skilled starfighter pilot's kills. Rogue Squadron commander Wedge Antilles once quipped that he didn't care if his victories were measured in dozens or gross lots, after the Verpine technician Zraii repainted and refurbished his T-65 X-wing starfighter.[1]
