| - The Geelans were a race native to the planet Needan. They were short, furry, canine humanoids who loved to barter and hoard valuables. They owned and operated Zirtran's Anchor during the Galactic Civil War. The species barely survived when Needan was hit by a passing comet and forced into a wider orbit, resulting in a rapid cooling of the planet and upheaval of the seasons. Needan was quickly turned into a frigid wasteland, and the Geelan were forced to erect domed structures to protect themselves from the frigid cold. A passing Arconan picked up a distress call the Geelan had broadcast, and agreed to supply them with more advanced technology to assist in the survival of their species. In this way, they discovered the great galactic community, and quickly spread throughout it. They employed a no-holds-barred form of commerce, in which any action was acceptable as long as it got the job done. Blackmail, bribery, and physical violence were not uncommon methods used by the Geelan to complete a deal.

- The Geelan, or Geel, were a species of sentient, bipedal canines with pot bellies, lanky arms, and stubby legs. Thick fur covered most of their bodies except for parts of the face and hands. Each Geelan had two large, yellow eyes, a dark, wet nose, and a muzzle of sharp teeth. The species hailed from Needan, a planet in the depths of Wild Space, where they lived in cities and divided themselves into tribal nests under the ultimate rule of the Geeloniran, or "Master Geel." Members of the species were nosy and greedy by nature, traits that made them incurable hoarders of nicknacks and baubles. The typical Geelan made every effort to engage in a bout of haggling each day—and to a Geelan, haggling was a sport with no rules. Although such aggressive behavior did not endear them to many non-Geelan, it did make Geelan gifted entrepreneurs and businesspersons. Although Needan was once a lush world, a passing comet struck the planet and wrenched it from its orbit. The resulting cool-down forced the Geelan to move into domed cities to survive. After they were first contacted by outsiders from the galactic community, many Geelan fled the world to operate businesses and act as traders in the galaxy. One of the more visible Geelan business ventures was the space station Zirtran's Anchor, which was jointly owned and controlled by several nests. The Galactic Empire sent a representative to the station to demand the Geelan pay proper taxes and collect the proper tariffs, which annoyed the canines. At some point, Zirtran's Anchor disappeared mysteriously in an event that came to be known as "the Vanishing." Spacer rumors circulated about the cause of the disappearance, but the station eventually reappeared in another part of the galaxy, devoid of all life. The Geelan reclaimed their wayward property and reopened for business. Nevertheless, the specter of the station's previous fate hung over the place.
