Bor Gullet

Mind Control : Mairans can uniquely manipulate the memories of other creatures they encounter. To use this ability, the Mairan must maintain uninterrupted contact with the target for at least half an hour, enveloping the target’s head with their tentacles. The Mairan must then make a Perception test against the target’s Willpower or Control. If successful, the Mairan can either Read or Erase Memories. To Alter Memories, the Mairan must maintain contact for another half an hour and pass a second Perception vs Willpower test. It’s worth noting that a target who has this ability used on them will suffer some mental trauma and will be aware that they have been probed. If the Mairan succeeded by doubling the target’s Willpower test, the target may suffer from longer-term mental effects that require medical treatment. Finally, it’s important to mention that skilled handlers can direct this ability.

Bor Gullet was a purple-skinned Mairan who could read thoughts. Saw Gerrera used it to torture Bodhi Rook on Jedha to ascertain the truth behind his claim of being in contact with Galen Erso. Afterward, Rook was, for a time, left a gibbering wreck, unable to speak coherently and acting very panicky. Despite this, Rook showed some resilience, as he recovered upon hearing himself referred to as “the pilot” and was able to recover enough of his senses to escape from Jedha when Jedha City was targeted by the superlaser of the Galactic Empire’s Death Star superweapon.
