Nubassa was a male Selkath who lived during the Jedi Civil War. He was interested in buying alien animals for use in a zoo on Manaan, although due to Manaan's rules in the matter, Nubassa was forced to utilize slightly less-than-legal means. He wanted creatures which were non-sentient and non-carnivorous, and preferred those which were easy to manage. When Revan offered to donate the colony of gizka that had invaded the Ebon Hawk, Nubassa quickly refused, citing the gizkas' high reproduction rate and the incredible nuisance they posed. However, he accepted the gizka in the end.
