"A thousand Novian rubies to the man who brings me the girl!"
―Krag orders his men[1]

Novian rubies were a form of currency[1] from the Novi system[1][2] used by the Zorbian space pirates.[1] In 3 ABY,[3] when the Zorbians invaded the Ewoks' Bright Tree Village on the Forest Moon of Endor, the Ewok Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka bit the leader of the Zorbians, Krag, who angrily promised a thousand Novian rubies to whoever brought him Kintaka.[1]
