A jar of Zicx bugs A Zicx refers to a specific kind of insect that originated on the planet Tatooine. Scientists found them particularly fascinating because they possessed a remarkable resistance to particular kinds of harm. These creatures were generally peaceful in their natural environment. Nevertheless, they could become extremely dangerous, releasing a deadly flurry of stings and bites if even mildly provoked.
Around 1 ABY, Goru Rainstealer commissioned a spacer to gather Zicx bugs from within the Great Pit of Carkoon on Tatooine. They represented a critical ingredient in the creation of the Zicx-bug bomb.
