T this was the alias used by Tahl, when she infiltrated the reformed Absolutes on the planet New Apsolon, some nine years before the Battle of Naboo. (TTB) T. Chamber a group of container ships used by Galactic Electronics to supply the Pondut research station. (TIE) T.I.E. Fighter the original twin ion engine starfighter produced by Republic Seinar Systems, this ship served as the basis for the Imperial TIE Fighter. It was succeeded by the Imperial TIE, before giving way to the standard TIE/ln fighter. (SWJ10) T-11 this was an out-dated, repeating blaster. (TG) T-11 this JV-Z1/S databank droid served the Old Republic as a military tactics specialist. It was programmed with the details of thousands of skirmishes and battles, from feudal spats to incredible space campaigns. When the New Order was instituted, T-11 was poorly reprogrammed by Imperial engineers to pilot a garbage scow. The slicer who did the reprogramming failed to re-initialize several of T-11's memory circuits, and this didn't mesh well with its new programming. T-11 underwent several mutations of its basic subroutines, and its pattern of thought became erratic. The droid developed several distinct personalities, and disappeared only three months after its reprogramming. The droid and its garbage scow were eventually discovered by the Kaarenth Dissension, and was again destined for reprogramming. However, the personality in control of T-11 rebelled and would not condone a memory wipe. The master of the droid pool grew exhausted trying to fix T-11, and eventually assigned it to keep the Dissension's Skipray Blastboats ready for immediate takeoff. T-11 was quite paranoid, and felt that it was being stalked most of the time. (SWJ8) T112110 this code provided access to the Trade Federation's concentration camp on the Street of Glory, during their invasion of the planet Naboo. (IOT) T-12 this small droid assisted Ulic Qel-Droma in his search for Sith information on Onderon. (DLS) T-13 an airspeeder built by Incom for terrestrial transportation. (SWSB) T-14 this was the designation of the hyperdrive generator used on many Nubian starship designs, often mated to the 327 hyperdrive unit. (TPM, X1) T-15 this was a model of snub-nosed blaster rifle produced by BlasTech during the New Order. (SWJ5) T-1583 this Imperial research and development space station was attacked and overtaken by Sard Nightbringer and her forces, during their attempt to rid Tamarin Sector of Imperial control during the early years of the New Republic. Sard discovered that the Imperial researchers had been working on a new form of body armor which was protected by a new form of shields, and she decided to auction it off to the highest bidder in order to obtain funds for her organization. (POC) T-16 a three-winged, triangular craft built by Incom for terrestrial transportation. Similar in controls to an X-Wing, they are often referred to as skyhoppers. The T-16 was equipped with an E-16/x ion engine afterburner, in addition to a pair of DCJ-45 repulsorlift engines, which gave it a top cruising speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour, as well as a 300 kilometer ceiling. The 5.2-meter-long craft was armed only with four stun lasers, and carried no shields. The top two lasers can be removed in favor of a targetting lasers, and the lower two lasers can be replaced with pneumatic cannons. With two wings pointing downward and the third wing standing straight up, the T-16 was a menaueverable craft that stood 10.4 meters in height. Luke Skywalker's uncle Owen Lars purchased a T-16 for him to use on Tatooine, which Luke used to fly the canyons and shoot womprats. (SW, SWSB, EGV, NEGV) T-19 this starfighter was produced for the Old Republic by Torpil, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was an exceptionally fast ship, and many of the pilots who flew it during the war remarked that speeds of 650 kilometers per hour were essentially "standing still" for the T-19. (JT) T-19 Star Burner this was a high-speed sublight engine produced for small starships, during the early years of the New Republic. (BHKK) T1-B this was the designation of Yutrane-Tackata's hovertank. It was used by the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. It was designed to be a swift-moving anti-infantry and anti-aircraft weapons platform. (FC) T2.3 see TD2.3 (NEGW) T2/5/Zero this galactic quadrant contains the planet Phelarion. (CSWEA) T21 see T-21 (GQRG) T-21 BlasTech's light repeating blaster, the T-21 was a rifle-sized weapon which had a long, thick barrel. They were designed for military use, and could be adapted to use a larger power supply. This modification was not recommended, though, as the weapon tended to overheat under constant, heavy use. (RPG, CCG, EGW) T-21 Hyper Particle Exchange Chamber this fictional device was created by Adi Gallia, as a device which the Jedi planned to peddle to the Yinchorri in order to infiltrate their base on Yitheeth. (AOW) T-23 an old model of skyhopper, similar to a T-16 in that its controls are very close to those of an X-Wing. (HTF) T-238 a chemical weapon that induced severe nausea when dispersed, T-238 was developed by Czerka during the height of the New Order. for use in chemical-load grenades. (ISB, AEG) T-24 this Incom repulsorlift airspeeder was antiquated by the era of the Battle of Naboo. It was considered the forerunner of the T-47 airspeeder used by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Only 200 T-24 speeders were ever produced, and most of them ended up in museums. The T-24 had gullwing doors and a stubby fin-like wing atop its cockpit canopy. (LSOM) T-289 this gas-filled stun grenade was manufactured by Czerka. (PP) T-2c Personnel Transport this was Cygnus Spaceworks' version of the Theta-class shuttle, built during the height of the Clone Wars for the Old Republic. Measuring 18.5 meters in length, the T-2c had a maximum wingspan of 29.3 meters and a height of 18.5 meters. The folding wings of this shuttle were designed primarily to project powerful, overlapping shields, but also provided maneuverability and stability in flight. Upon landing, the wings were folded up to allow the ship to settle onto its landing gear. Equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive, the T-2c personnel transport had a range of some 8,000 light-years. Requiring a minimum of a pilot to operate, the T-2c was made easier to handle with the addition of a co-pilot, navigator, communications officer, and a weapons expert. The weaponry of the T-2c consisted of a pair of quad laser cannons and an aft-facing laser cannon. Darth Sidious had a T-2c shuttle specially-modified by Warthan's Wizards, giving it the ability communicate across vast distances, as well as installing sensor masks and other technology to make the shuttle appear empty to most scanners. (X3) T-3 Series Droid this was a heavy-duty model of navigation droid, created during the height of the New Order to assist in controlling vehicles that operated in harsh climates. (PZZ2) T3 Web Comber this outdated device was used to analyze computer networks. (IWE1) T-32S this light blaster was popular during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. (LFC) T-32S this light blaster pistol was a favorite among smugglers during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LFC) T-33 this type of plasma torpedo was known as a shieldbuster, or a rotten egg. The T-33 was designed to detonate at a shield's perimeter, creating in intense radiation burst. This burst was several times more powerful that the combined power of a capital ship's ion cannons, and knocked out the target's shield generators. This allowed particle weapons to finish off the target. The T-33 was one of the New Republic's strongest weapons. (SOL) T33-A this was one of the two Alliance encryption codes used to protect communications with the Condor drop point facility. (SWJ14) T-35 an Imperial tug. (XW) T358723Q9930 this was the document number of a report by the Alliance's military, comparing the performance of standard Imperial and Alliance starfighters. (XW) T-36 Skyfighter this was a specialized skyhopper, built by Incom Industries during the height of the New Order to serve as a near-orbit defense ship. The mission profile of the T-36 was similar in many respects to that of the Imperial TIE Fighter. The body of the T-36 was based on the tri-winged design used in the T-16 skyhopper, but this meant that these craft were extremely susceptible to windshear, and pilots had to be careful around storms to avoid being disabled. This danger, coupled with the fact that the T-36 lacked inertial dampers and required a speciallized landing platform, made the T-36 a poor performer in its targetted role. Most of these craft were relegated to used as lightreconnaissance craft. Measuring 8.2 meters in length, the standard T-36 was a one-person craft that was armed with a double laser cannon. (SOT) T3-B this was the designation of Yutrane-Tackata's heavy attack tank. It was used by the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, but was considered slow and heavy. Thus, it was used during surface-to-surface engagements. The T3-B was armed with missile launchers and heavy blasters. (FC) T3-M4 this ancient T3-series utility droid was created on the planet Taris some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, modified to serve as a personal security unit. It was given light armor plating and upgradeable weaponry, and its programming was augmented for use in slicing into computer systems and breaking encryption codes. It was also provided with a variety of combat routines, many of which bent the rules about a droid's ability to harm a living being. T3-M4's owner was never publically identified, and its creator, Janice Nall, never told who ordered the droid. In reality, T3-M4 was originally designed for Davik Kang, but the droid was stolen by the courier who was employed to obtain it. Canderous Ordo had been chosen as the courier, but he managed to hire a group to purchase the droid before he could acquire it. Ordo then used the droid to slice into Taris' computer networks and steal the necessary codes for evading the Sith blockade of the planet. (KOTOR, SWDB) T3-M8 this T3-series utility droid was repaired by Janice Nall and put up for sale at her shop on Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The droid was purchased by Carth Onasi and the survivors of the Endar Spire, but exploded shortly afterward. Janice Nall refunded their money, and eventually sold them T3-M4. (KOTOR) T-3PO this silver protocol droid served aboard the Subjugator. T-3PO was roughly humanoid, with insectile plating. Programmed with a harsh, female personality, her years of service aboard the Victory-class Star Destroyer made her hate the humans who treated her as a tool. Her programming kept her loyal to the Empire, but it also gave her a sense of being and worth. When the Subjugator was attacked by an Alliance fleet, T-3PO's programming told that she was superior to the other droids on the ship, and so she had to survive the encounter. As the other droids deserted their posts in the confusion, T-3PO realized that her only hope was to follow the Alliance agents accompanying Walex Blissex. It is unknown if T-3PO survived the destruction of the Subjugator. (SF) T-3PO this blue-tinted protocal droid was operating on the planet Trevura, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. T-3PO was a timid droid that worked for the assassin droid S-R6, and moved about the city of Voma in an attempt to purchase black-market versions of the experimental Imperial blasters being imported by Governor Merno Blask. It was later discovered that T-3PO had been outfitted with programming that allowed it to fire a blaster, giving T-3PO the ability to handle itself in a fight. (WOA14) T3-series Droid this utility droid was produced during the years leading up to the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. Canine in stature, the T3-series utility droid was known for its versatility, reliability, and adaptability, and they were used throughout the galaxy for jobs like janitorial duties to complex mechanical repairs. While more expensive than most models, the T3 was built with the most up-to-date technology available to its manufacturers, and was easily upgraded or customized to meet any need. (KOTOR) T-4 this large transport skimmer was developed for use by the Empire, and was designed to carry troops and equipment into battle. It could transport up to five tons of payload, and it was armed with a double-barreled energy cannon. (RAG) T-4 this was the name of the fourth planet in the Thaereian System. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Smugglers' Confederation and the Cularin military discovered a hidden base on the planet. Representatives of the Metatheran Cartel and the Thaereian Military were seen working together with other criminal elements, stockpiling bacta and other supplies. (WOTC) T-40 this was a model of flitter built by Incom during the Galactic Civil War. They could be armed with a double laser cannon for police and paramilitary use. (ML) T-44 this was a power shunt, developed by the Baktoid Armor Workshop and sold throughout the galaxy during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN5) T-47 an Incom airspeeder which could transport 2 passengers and limited onboard cargo, the T-47 was originally designed as an atmosphere tugboat of sorts. The pilot controlled the craft's course, while the rear-facing "cargo manager" used magnetic harpoons to drag along repulsor-equipped cargo modules. However, because of their durability, the T-47 found widespread use on backwater planets as a transport vehicle. In its basic design, the T-47 could attain speeds near 1,000 kilometers per hour when unburdened, allowing it to quickly reach incoming ships. Some were converted into airspeeders, because the T-47 had a 250 kilometer ceiling. However, the Alliance was forced modified them for military use on the frozen world of Hoth, keeping them low to the ground to prevent freeze-ups. Alliance technicians added two fire-linked laser cannons, a power harpoon, and heavier shields. These craft could attain speeds of nearly 570 kilometers per hour. Other T-47s were modified to serve on water worlds, in deserts, or as high-altitude reconnaissance craft. In its base form, the T-47 measured 5.3 meters in length. (ESB, RPG, CHRN, NEGV) T-4a designation of Cygnus Spaceworks' Lambda-class shuttle. It measures 20 meters in length, has a crew complement of 4, and is armed with 10 Taim & Bak KX5 laser cannons. It has been rated at a top speed of 65 MGLT, with 100 SBD shields and a 25 RU hull. (XW, TIE) T5 this was the model number of a force pike produced by Merr-Sonn. (AIR) T-534D this was the designation of a public transportation skylane, found on the planet Coruscant. (HNN4) T5-G3 this protocol droid was modified by Imperial scientists for use as an espionage droid. However, a quirk in its programming surfaced in its logic dispenser that resulted in T5-G3 shutting down every six to eight months before its systems reboot. The droid was inserted into the New Republic's droid pool as a labor management droid, in hopes that it could provide information on the Republic's military actions. (WBC) T-6 this BlasTech heavy blaster pistol was known to soldiers as the Thunderer, and was marketed as the ultimate "superheavy" blaster pistol. It was first produced to compete in the marketplace with SoroSuub's Renegade weapon, and was the weapon known to have ended the "blaster wars" between BlasTech, Merr-Sonn, and SoroSuub because of its incredible power. Unfortunately, the T-6 tended to overheat because of its power, and the barrel of the weapon could warp. If this occurred, especially during a firefight when the weapon is not allowed to cool down, the focusing crystals can be misaligned and the T-6 could explode in the user's hands. (WSV, GUN, AEG) T-6 Diodem this device, produced on the planet Arda-2, was used in starfighter targetting controls to establish a positive lock on a target. The natives of Arda-2 produced them for use by the Alliance, but they also produced a non-military version for certain household service devices. Mag Doum secretly recovered used home-service diodems and sold them to the Empire at significant markups. The Empire then installed them in TIE Fighters, and used them to attack Alliance starships. Luke Skywalker went to Arda-2 to protest what the Alliance saw as a direct sale of the T-6 to the Empire, and uncovered Mag Doum's plot. (CSWEA) T-65A2 see X-Wing (UF) T-65A3 one of the many improved designs of the Incom Industries X-Wing starfighter, the A3 was developed during the second decade of the New Republic. It boasted improved shielding and lasers, both of which required less power to operate, but were more efficient and accurate to use. It was bested in its generation only by the T-65XJ model developed for use by the Jedi Knights. One of the main upgrades on the T-65A3 was the secondary fire button on the command stick. It allowed the pilot to fire in a cycling, single-laser pattern no matter how the weapons were fire-linked. This secondary fire was shot out with less power than normal, allowing the weapons to cycle rapidly. This proved to be of use against the coralskippers of the Yuuzhan Vong, as it allowed pilots to pour larger amounts of energy into their black-hole shields, causing the shields to collapse. Regular firepower could then be used to punch through the coralskippers' rocky exterior. (DTO) T-65AC4 this version of the Incom X-Wing starfighter was produced about ten years after the Battle of Endor. It had speed to match an A-Wing, but was still as rugged and sturdy as the original X-Wings. The AC4's incorporated numerous advances in targetting, fire control, and power distribution. Armament remained similar to the original, with four heavy laser cannons mounted on the wingtips and a proton torpedo launcher. (JASB, SOG) T65-AFP a new form of starship fuel pump introduced for use on X-Wings two years after the Battle of Endor. (XWN) T-65b an early version of the Incom X-Wing. (SWSB, RASB) T-65BR this version of the standard X-Wing starfighter was developed for use as a reconnaissance craft during the early years of the New Republic. The proton torpedo launchers were removed and replaced with high-gain long-range sensors. The T-65BR relied heavily on the use of an astromech, which acted not only as a navigational aid but as an automated controller of the sensor packages. Each T-65BR was also rigged with a deadman self-destruct system, which would destroy the ship if the pilot was ever killed in combat. This ensured that any data recovered by the ship would be lost and untraceable. (CTD) T-65c A2 this was the model name of the first X-Wing starfighter to be mass-produced by Incom Industries. Because of its designation, the T65c A2 was sometimes considered a modified version of the X-Wing. (SWSB, RASB) T-65D-A1 this version of the Incom X-Wing starfighter was introduced about seventeen years after the Battle of Endor. This X-Wing replaced the astromech R2 unit with additional computer power, providing more maneuverability and increased in-flight options for the pilot. The New Republic began replacing its old, aging T-65As with the T-65D-A1, until Cole Fardreamer discovered that their new shipboard computers were rigged with Imperial detonation devices. The computers had been built under the direction of Dolph, who planned to detonate them from Almania at a specified time. Cole found the detonators while repairing Luke Skywalker's old X-Wing, which was being refitted with the new computers. He showed the detonators to Wedge Antilles, who had originally ordered the newer X-Wings to replace the old ones. Wedge began recalling the newer ships before they could explode, and new computer systems were ordered to replace the rigged ones. (TNR) T-65R this version of the standard Incom X-Wing starfighter was designed for surveillance and reconnaissance. Known as a snoopscoot, it employed a pair of sensor pods which trailed behind the ship to gather data on a nearby world. The sensor equipment could be jettisoned if the ship was attacked, and the pods recovered later. The T-65R lacked weapons, so it was often accompanied by other starfighters. (IR) T-65XJ this heavily-modified version of the durable X-Wing starfighter was developed two decades after the Battle of Endor by Incom. Among the enhancements over the original models, the XJ had three proton torpedo launchers, each of which carried three torpedoes. The XJ series ship also had improved fire-linking capability, with the ability to link the four laser cannons in specific patterns of fire, rather than just combinations of the four guns. Thus the weapons could be configuration to fire a pair of dual bursts - from any combination of cannons - followed in the cycle by a single quad burst from all four cannons. The XJ was also equipped to use an R7-series astromech droid. Two of these ships found their way into the small fleet maintained by Kyp Durron, and many civilians believed that the "J" in the designation indicated that the ships were produced for the Jedi Knights. (VP, JE, BP, EVC) T-65XJ3 this was the latest version of the original X-Wing T-65 starfighter, produced by Incom Industries during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Among their many updates, the XJ3 series had variable-stutter lasers, decoy-enhanced proton torpedoes, and grab-proof shields. These sophisticated upgrades were all made in an attempt to give the starfighters some kind of advantage over the Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers and gravity-based technologies. They were especially useful when attacking alien ships using the so-called shadow bombs, since one torpedo launcher could be loaded with unpropelled missiles. (SBS, NJOSB) T-70 an outdated model of landspeeder. Luke Skywalker owned one on Tatooine, before he sold it to pay for his passage to Alderaan. (COJ) T-71 a model of skyhopper. (GOF4) T-77 an experimental airspeeder used by Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar while exploring the planet Ossus, the T-77 was a bulbous craft with a large turbine engine mounted at the rear. A weapon emplacement was located under the nose of the speeder. (DE2, NEGV) T-81 this was a version of Incom airspeeder developed after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (SOP) T-831 this immense droid was developed and manufactured by Zubintech, during the last century of the Old Republic. (SWJ7) T-9PM this red-plated protocol droid served as a spaceport negotiator in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. T-9PM, which had been programmed to consider himself more important than he really was, which served to hide the fact that T-9PM was owned by the Alliance. T-9PM served as the primary liaison to the various smugglers and misfits who fled Imperial control and wanted to assist the Alliance in overturning the Empire. (RESB) Ta this MC40a was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT) Ta'a Chume the Queen Mother of the Hapan worlds during the era of the New Order, she is a devious woman who gave birth to two sons. She would stop at nothing to see her elder son married to a powerful new queen, but he was a pacifist and - in her mind - a weakling. So, she had him assassinated in order to elevate her younger son, Isolder, to the position of heir. When Isolder fell in love with Elliar, Ta'a Chume disagreed with his selection. She also had Elliar murdered, and pushed Isolder to marry a more fitting wife. Ta'a Chume also had a dislike for the Jedi Knights, and when she meets Luke Skywalker, the dislike only increases when Luke bests her in gaining information on Han Solo's whereabouts. She allowed the Old Republic some measure of respect, but when it crumbled and the Empire took over, she became a brutal leader, firming up the Hapan armed forces to keep the Imperials at bay. The Hapan worlds have since enjoyed a measure of prosperity, and Ta'a has been reduced to keeping the various factions from killing each other's heirs in attempts to gain the throne. She pretended to agree to her son Isolder's proposed marriage to Princess Leia, but she was secretly against it, feeling that Leia would bring nothing but the downfall of the Hapan government. She arranged for an assassination attempt on Leia's life, but it failed. Isolder, upon hearing of this, also accused her of killing his former betrothed, Elliar, and his older brother. Ta'a Chume eventually backed off, and let Isolder marry the Dathomirian "princess" Teneniel Djo. When Tenel Ka was born, Ta'a Chume began doting on the child, in hopes that she could twist the child into a "proper" Hapes Queen. In this effort, however, she failed, and Tenel Ka became a full Jedi. Ta'a Chume, it was later revealed, had something to do with the attempt by a group of Bartokk assassins to kill Tenel Ka, and she was forced to step down as Queen Mother and relinquish the throne to Teneniel Djo. Her abdication, though final, did not prevent her from keeping a hand in the dealings of the royal family. After the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and after the destruction of a portion of the Consortium Navy at the Battle of Fondor, Ta'a Chume even condoned several assassination attempts on Isolder and Teneniel Djo. However, the opening of Hapes to war refugees was too much for her to take. With the help of her aide Trisdin, Ta'a Chume began searching for a young woman to replace Teneniel Djo - a young woman she could mold in her own image. Her first attempt to locate such a woman focused on Jaina Solo, shortly after the Jedi lost her brother Anakin to the Yuuzhan Vong. After arranging for the murder of her daugther-in-law, Ta'a Chume quickly ordered new leadership be instated for Hapes, blaming the murder on the Ni'Korish. Her plans failed when Tenel Ka agreed to take her mother's position, a right which was hers to exercise. Despite her position as former Queen Mother, Ta'a Chume was arrested and charged with the murder to Teneniel Djo. (CPL, EGC, JE, DJ) Taadus, Grenvil this man served as an Imperial medical corpsman and combat surgeon on Bakura, during the rule of Governor Wilek Nereus. Taadus did not embrace the Empire, remaining as neutral as he could during the Galactic Civil War. During the Bakura Incident, it was Taadus who tried to keep Dev Sibwarra alive after his escape from the Ssi-ruuk. Unfotunately, Sibwarra's injuries were too grave to survive. Taadus later accompanied Petr Thanas in embracing the fledgling New Republic, and eventually served as a medical officer aboard the medical frigate Mercy. (TBSB) Taage Industries see TaggeCo (MC47) Taal this was the title given to the single, neutral leader of the four Aramandi akia. The Taal was chosen by an ancient process set forth by the Eeronon, and held the office until death. Among the powers given to the Taal was the command of the Taler armed forces. (AE, FBS) Taal, Philo this young man was the older brother of Reglis Taal. Philo was hunted down and killed by two bounty hunters, Krestock and Raxine, even though there was never a bounty placed on his head. Reglis eventually hunted Krestock and Raxine down and executed them for their parts in Philo's death. (GG10) Taal, Reglis this man turned into a bounty hunter after his older brother, Philo, was shot and killed by Krestock and Raxine. Both believed that Philo was wanted, but there was never an official bounty posted for his capture. Reglis was just nineteen at the time, and hunted both of them down and executed them for their part in Philo's Death. Taal later documented his life in the autobiography, Endings and Beginnings: An Autobiography. (GG10) Taal's Residence this was the primary residence of the Aramandi Taal, and was located in the capital city of Talerakia on Aram. It also served as the political center of the Aramand Cluster. (FBS) Taal's River this was the name given to the river which flowed through the city of Talerakia and emptied into the Bay of Eeronon, on the planet Aram. (FBS) Taan this female Yuuzhan Vong was a member of the Shamed Ones caste, and was part of the slave crew aboard the Stalking Moon. It was Taan who revealed to Corran Horn that the Shamed Ones believed the Jedi Knights would be their salvation. She later helped the Jedi gain control of the scoutship by communicating with Yuuzhan Vong commanders, claiming that the Stalking Moon had suffered a failure during hyperspace reversion, and that much of the command crew was injured or killed. (EVR) Taan Yun-forqana zhoi this was the rallying cry of the Yuuzhan Vong priests. (DW) Taan, Cather this stocky man owned and operated Cather Taan's Gun Shop, in the Storrd Township of the planet Seregar. The only decent arms dealer in the area, Taan was known for his knowledge of weapons and his stoic demeanor. He never bargained or traded, standing firm on his prices. His repair work was first-rate, another indication that his prices were fair, if not a bit higher than normal. (ND) Taanab the natives of this planet aided by Lando Calrissian in turning away a group of raiding Norulac pirates. Taanab had one moon. The Empire had used Taanab as a major food production facility. Note that X-Wing Rogue Squadron: Requiem for a Rogue names this planet as Taanad. (ROTJ, SWJ5, XWRR) Taanab Exercise this training exercise was designed by Luke Skywalker to train his new Jedi Knights. It involved trying to determine what the correct course of action would be in averting a flood that threatened a group of villagers. The students were required to investigate the available data and decide how best to avoid a disaster. Among the facts presented was the sudden appearance of off-world speculators who planned to sell homes on the floodplain to Alderaanian survivors. The villagers were actually building in the most dangerous area of the floodplain. (DTO) Taanab Operation this battle was aprt of Grand Admiral Thrawn's plans to unsettle the fledgling New Republic, some five years after the Battle of Endor. As part of the Taanab Operation, Thrawn dispatched the Bellicose to harass the planet Taanab in the wake of the Battle of Sluis Van. In order to ensure pinpoint accuracy and coordination among the Imperial forces, Thrawn planned on using the skills of the Dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth to coordinate the battles plans. However, C'baoth went out on his own and used a Force technique to link all the gunners' minds to his own. He then was able to control the entire firing plan, and used the Imperial forces to his own ends. Thrawn relieved him from the operation when he found out about C'baoth's maneuver, allowing the Dark Jedi to return to Jomark and await the arrival of Luke Skywalker. (DFR) Taanab Sunrise this New Republic warship was badly damaged during the Battle of Garqi, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was saved when the Imperial Remnant, under the command of Admiral Pellaeon, intervened in the battle in support of the Republic. The Red Harvest placed itself between the Yuuzhan Vong force and the Taanab Sunrise, absorbing damage while allowing the Taanab Sunrise to escape. (DTR) Taanab Yellow Aces Squadron this all-volunteer starfighter squadron, made up of A-Wings and E-Wings painted yellow with angular black stripes, joined the New Republic forces which massed at Borleias in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. Originally based on Taanab, the squadron flew escort duty for the Reckless Abandon during the resupplying of the Borleias base. When the squadron arrived at Borleias, it was revealed that their leader was none other than Wes Janson. The Yellow Aces remained attached to the New Republic's forces after the formation of the Galactic Alliance, and was instrumental in the liberation of the prisoners of war that were held on Selvaris. (EL2, UF) Taanfaar this Ithorian surname was believed to mean "explorer", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG) Ta'ania one of the original colonists to populate Eol Sha, and an illegitimate descendant of a former Jedi Knight.

(WS) Tabb this Troig Saprin was part of the same being as the Saprah, Dwuir, during the last decade of the Old Republic. However, Dwuir ought to be separated from Tabb during the year prior to the Clone Wars. The debates over the ethical necessity and medical ability to perform the operation started a galaxy-wide debate in many circles.

Evlyn was distinguished by her auburn hair and bright blue eyes, as well as her precocious nature. Pressor knew that there was something unusual about the girl, although he couldn't quite put his finger on it. When the Chiss-led mission to locate Outbound Flight arrived on the ships, he used her to lure their unexpected visitors into turbolifts, where he trapped them while trying to figure out what to do with them. Jorad knew the Evlyn was gifted, and believed that she had some sensitivity to the Force. He feared that this knowledge would leak out to the rest of the survivors, but also knew that it couldn't be kept a secret forever. When Bearsh and his companions revealed themselves to be Vagaari pirates, Evlyn and her mother and uncle were trapped in a conference room with Dean Jinzler and Aristocra Formbi when Bearsh released three wolvkils to keep them from escaping. Jinzler remembered that the Outbound Flight Colony's comlinks were equipped with a special communication frequency that could cut through jamming, and asked Evlyn to use her nacent powers to recover one from a fallen Peacekeeper. Evlyn was too scared to respond, and Pressor immediately forbade. Jinzler, however, convinced Pressor and Rosemari to allow Evlyn to make the attempt. She concentrated hard, and was able to move the comlink into a position for Jinzler to grab it. After freeing themselves, Evlyn found herself under the protection of Mara Jade Skywalker during their attempt to defeat the Vagaari. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, Evlyn and her mother agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could.

When T'achak decided to join the New Republic, his commanding officer was unable to curb T'achak's desire to ddrive everything to its limits. Thus, he was placed on the FarStar in an effort to place where he could do the least amount of damage. (DARK, KR) Tachi, Siri this young girl was a Jedi trainee, and a contemporary of Obi-Wan Kenobi shortly after he was chosen to be Qui-Gon Jinn's padawan. She was actually two years younger than Obi-Wan, but her skills with the Force and in lightsaber combat moved her forward in her class to Obi-Wan's level. She was considered to be quite beautiful by the male students of the time, although she chosen to wear a boyish haircut and clothing to mask her looks. Her blue seemed to darken or lighten dependning on her feelings. Siri found that she hated Obi-Wan after he had forsaken the Jedi to become involved in the Melida/Daan civil war. After the destruction of Xanatos, she was chosen by Adi Gallia to be a padawan, and they were assigned by Master Yoda to accompany Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to Kegan to witness first-hand how a master and an apprentice worked together. Despite her skill and grace, Siri was impatient to move forward in her training, and often bristled in the presence of Obi-Wan's own patience. They were captured and held by the Keganites in the Learning Circle, in an effort to keep the Jedi from taking O-Lana back to Coruscant for training. The two quickly found a way to work together, and Siri learned more from Obi-Wan than she thought she could have. Eventually, they escaped the Keganites and helped bring Kegan into the galactic community. Later, during a mission to the Kessel Run, Siri and Adi Gallia had an intense argument, and Siri chose to leave the Jedi Order. Obi-Wan later discovered that Siri's split with the Jedi had been part of a far-reaching plan to infiltrate the slave ring of Krayn. In the intervening years, she dropped her given name and was known by the pseudonym Zora. After returning to the Jedi Order, Siri and Obi-Wan found themselves paired with their Masters on several missions. During the mission to protect Talesan Fry, Siri and Obi-Wan realized that they had fallen in love with each other. Knowing that attachment was forbidden among the Jedi, they struggled to resolve their feelings and their allegiance to the Jedi Order. Ultimately, both agreed to bury their feelings and never think of each other in anything other than a professional light. About three years after the Battle of Naboo, she joined forces with the pirate Krayn and earned his trust. She was unable to help Anakin Skywalker when he was captured by Krayn, but kept an eye on him until both of the were captured. With the help of the slavegirl Berri, they escaped and met with Aga Culpa and Nor Fik, arranging with both beings to oppose Krayn and allow the Jedi to destroy his organization. After the successful slave revolt, and following Anakin's killing of Krayn, Siri returned with the two Jedi to Coruscant. The experience with the slavers left Siri with a rebellious streak, which she displayed upon being named a Jedi Knight by cutting her hair short and wearing a leather unisuit. She eventually took Ferus Olin as her Padawan learner, and refused to take another Padawan after Ferus voluntarily left the Order, after the death of Darra Thel-Tanis. Just prior to the Clone Wars, Siri was dispatched with Garen Muln on a mission to the Xanlanner System. While en route, they discovered Obi-Wan's distress signal from TY44, and helped him reach Vanqor to rescue his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, Siri was dispatched to the planet Kamino. The starship Slave I had been sighted there, and the Jedi Council wanted Jango Fett brought in for questioning. She discovered that the ship had been piloted back to Kamino by Jango's son, Boba, but she was too late to intercept him. Later, at the height of the Clone Wars, Siri was again teamed with Obi-Wan and Anakin, this time traveling to Genian with Padme' Amidala to negotiate for a codebreaking device created by Talesan Fry. After acquiring the device and returning to Azure, the Jedi found themselves under a Separatist attack. Magus himself had joined the Separatists, and tried to kill Talesan. Siri found herself protecting Padme', but had to disable Magus' ship to do it. In a bold move, Siri jumped onto Magus' fighter and fought her way in. Although she disabled Magus, she was shot in the chest. Shortly after Oibi-Wan pulled her from the ship, Siri died of her injuries. Before dying, though, she gave Obi-Wan a crystal she had carried with her as a Padawan, so that her memory could live on in him. (CT, FFT, SWDB, JQ, JQ1, BF1, JQ7, SOJ) Tachyon Detection a method of searching areas of space for targets. It is best used as a long-range detection system.

After Raynar Thul was injured by a voxyn, he was placed aboard the Tachyon Flier in preparation for the group's escape. However, the ship was commandeered by Welk and Lomi Plo, who jettisoned Lowbacca before takeoff. However, they were unaware that Raynar Thul was still inside. As they blasted into space, the Tachyon Flier was picked up by Yuuzhan Vong sensors, and was almost immediately attacked. In no time, the ship's shields gave out, and the Tachyon Flier was destroyed. All aboard the ship died in the blast. (SBS, NJOSB) Tac-Spec Footman this series of personal service droids was produced several centuries before the Clone Wars, but was widely considered one of the most loyal and deadly types of droids ever produced. The Tac-Spec Footman's primary programming centered on loyalty to its owner, which it backed up with the ability to assassinate almost any being who posed a threat to its master. The kill ratio of the Tac-Spec Footman was virtually unparalleled among other droids, let alone among assassins in general. The entire run of production was quite small, and each droid was produced at a high cost to its buyer, but the cost was more than offset by the loyalty and protection it offered. (YDR) Tacto this was one of the two major cities, along with Aubendo, found on the planet Radnor. Together, they were considered the Twin Cities. Some five years after the Battle of Naboo, Tacto was also known as the Clear Sector, when a plague was unleashed in the city of Aubendo. The two cities were isolated from each other, in order to minimize the spread of the plague.

(SWJ7) Tae-Jitsu this was a form of martial art practiced by a small number of beings during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was considered to be generally ineffective, and more bluster than martial art. (TAE) Tafanda Bay a floating city like many others on Ithor, the Tafanda Bay was a self-contained ecosystem, mimicking the planet's environment while providing many technological necessities. The Tafanda Bay was one of the few Sky Yards-class herdships that were bound to planetary duty on Ithor, because much of its ecosystem was external rather than contained beneath transparisteel domes. It was commanded by an Ithorian named Momaw Nadon until a passing Imperial Star Destroyer threatened to destroy the planet if Nadon didn't cooperate. Nadon It has been the flagship of the Ithorian Grand Fleet for a number of years. Following the destruction of the Empire after the Battle of Endor, Momaw Nadon returned to take his place as the leader of Tafanda Bay. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and their destruction of the planet Ithor, the Tafanda Bay was one of the few refuges where Ithorians could live.

The New Republic desparately needed information on the Yevethan defenses, and ordered reconnaissance of the 13 major Yevethan worlds. Taggar managed to gather a large amount of data on the planet before being overtaken by the Yevethan warship Beauty of Yevetha. Rather than be captured or betray the Republic, Rone programmed his X-Wing to self-destruct as it was drawn into the warship's hangar bay. His death, and the destruction of his ship, caused a great deal of damage to the Beauty of Yevetha and allowed the Republic to receive his reconnaissance data.

Tagge was also in command of the Army forces deployed on the battle station. He was worried about the growth of the Rebellion and its possession of the plans to the first Death Star, for he had discovered the flawed exhaust port an knew its significance. However, he lacked the personality and courage to speak out about it. He was described as slimy and noisome. Tagge was later killed when the Alliance was able to destroy the first Death Star. Tagge was portrayed by Don Henderson in Star Wars: Episode IV - A new Hope. (SW, SWN, MTS, DSTC, GORW) Tagge, Domina this woman, a member of the wealthy Tagge family, was shipped off to the planet Monastery to join the Order of the Sacred Circle, in an effort to preserve her innocence. Sister Domina eventually became a priestess of the Order, and was known for her leadership of the sisterhood on Monastery. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, she found herself in the midst of political intrigue as the Order's leaders decide that they were ready to side with either the Empire or the Alliance in the Galactic Civil War. At the same time, her brother Ulric traveled to Monastery to talk her into allying herself with Vader in order to avenge the death of their brother Orman at the hands of Luke Skywalker. In a devlish scheme, requested that Skywalker serve as the Alliance's representative to Monastery, during the negotiations with the Empire. Of course, the Empire's representative was none other than Darth Vader himself. Luke, smitten with Domina's beauty, was unaware that Domina had already allied herself with Vader. She and vader manipulated the members of the Order of the Sacred Circle to revoke the power of the Circle of Elders and name her High Priestess. Her first order was to have Luke killed and the Alliance destroyed, ostensibly as threats to the great circle of life. It was decided that Skywalker and Vader should duel to the death in the Crystal Valley; Domina had manipulated them both into a position which would result in both their deaths, avenging the Tagge family once and for all. Howeer, her plans were thwarted by both Vader and Skywalker, and Domina was forced to relinquish her position as High Priestess. She allowed the Order of the Sacred Circle to ally itself with the Alliance, but she never forgave Skywalker for killing her brother. Later, Domina tried to take control of the universe by unleashing the Crimson Forever. She had a team infiltrate the Red Nebula and steal one of the huge gemstones that protected it. She then placed it aboard a Star Destroyer and set it adrift in Alliance-controlled space. She hoped that the Alliance would bring the gemstone out of the ship, thereby affecting countless billions of beings before anything could be done to stop the disease. Her plans failed when Chewbacca revealed to Leia Organa and Lando Calrissian what the gemstones really were, prompting a mission to return the gemstone to the Red Nebula. Leia abandoned Domina Tagge on the fringes of the Red Nebula, after obtaining the second crystal. (LTA2, MC35, MC36, MC37, MC50) Tagge, Orman this Imperial Baron was the older brother of Ulric Tagge, the Imperial officer killed aboard the first Death Star. Orman Tagge was, at one time, the leader of the Corporate Sector Authority, and helped gain complete independence from the Empire. Of course, the CSA was required to funnel credits and resources to the Imperial war machine for little to no profit. Orman was blinded by Darth Vader, and used a cyborg vision system to see. He was skilled in the use of a lightsaber, although it was not known if he was ever a Jedi Knight. Much of his lightsaber training was geared toward revenge, for Orman wanted nothing more than to defeat Vader in combat in return for his lost eyesight. He masterminded a plot to reveal the location of the Alliance's bases in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, as part of a powerplay to discredit Vader in the Emperor's eyes. Under the pretense of mining spice near Yavin, Tagge took a family cruiser and landed on one of Yavin's remote moons. There, he established a giant space station in the very heart of Yavin's atmosphere. Using sophisiticated turbines, the station created tunnels through the swirling gases, allowing TIE Fighters to travel to and from the station. These TIE Fighters then launched a series of attacks on the Alliance's base on Yavin 4, hitting swiftly and then disappearing. The existence of this space stationwas discovered by Luke Skywalker, who managed to capture one of the modules used on TIE Fighters to create smaller tunnels when in communication with the station. Skywalker managed to destroy the station, but Orman Tagge ordered a retreat as soon as Skywalker's mission became clear. His main crew made it back to his personal ship, which then followed Skywalker out of Yavin's atmosphere. Tagge vowed revenge against Skywalker as well, for foiling his plans to win the Emperor's favor. The failure at Yavin cast all of Tagge's Imperial contracts in doubt, and he was forced to review every project he was handling and report back to the Emperor personally. Ormanhoped that the Omega Frost device, developed by his brother Silas, would save the Tagge name. He planned to use it within the asteroids separating Yavin from Junction, cutting off a major supply route. He believed himself prepared when Skywalker once again tried to foils his plans. However, in a lightsaber battle with the youngster, Tagge nearly lost his life. Luke was able to destroy Orman's cybernetic vision unit, leaving him completely blind. Luke escaped, and Orman when into a state of shock over the fact that Luke had allowed him to live. Unfortunately for the Tagge family, the trap they had laid at Junction backfired. The Alliance fleet they hoped to destroy discovered the plans for the Omega Frost, and fired on the Baron's personal starship. In minutes, the ship suffered catastrophic damage and exploded. Orman and Silas, however, survived the blast in a sealed chamber, which was recovered by Darth Vader. Vader kept the Tagge brothers in suspended animation, for his own later use. Orman, however, overcame the suspension and managed to escape by stowing away aboard the Millennium Falcon. He managed to reach the surface of Monastery, hoping to make contact with his sister, Domina. Unfortunately, Orman was intercepted by Darth Vader once again, who was on Monastery at Domina's bidding. Vader forced Orman to meet Luke Skywalker in combat, although Orman's appearance was altered by the Force. Luke fully believed he was fighting Vader, but his killing blow disintegrated the illusion. Orman died from the injury, as Vader's final "punishment" for his treachery.

(HNN4) Tagge, Silas this man, the middle brother of the Tagge family, was one of the many scientific minds behind the technologies produced by House of Tagge. A balding man with jet-black hair worn long where it still grew, Silas was a man who believed whole-hearted in the advances of science. He refused to eat real meat, instead favoring the instant nutrition and simplicity of food pastes. Among Silas' most interesting inventions was the Omega Frost device, which was successfully tested in the deserts of Tatooine. Silas lacked his older brother's need for vengeance, and chose to be pragmatic about things such as the Alliance. However, when Luke Skywalker managed to disable one of the Omega Frost generating devices in the asteroid belt near Junction, Silas saw his grandest invention suddenly fail. His mind began to crack, and he could not longer operate on his own. He retreated into the medical facility aboard the Tagge ship, hoping to rouse his brother and get him working on solving the problem. However, the Alliance ships they had planned to destroy were free to reach Junction, and took a slight detour to eliminate the Tagge threat. In minutes, the combined firepower of the meager Alliance fleet destroyed the Tagge ship, killing all aboard. Silas and Orman, however, survived the blast in a sealed chamber, which was recovered by Darth Vader. Vader kept the Tagge brothers in suspended animation, for his own later use. (MC31, MC32, MC33, MC34) Tagge, Ulric this man, the younger brother of Baron Orman Tagge, was a General in the Imperial armed forces during the height of the Galactic Civil War. While he hated the fact that Orman continued to launch crazy schemes in an effort to further the family fortunes, Ulric understood that he had more to gain if the Tagge family could become more valuable to the Emperor. To this end, Ulric often manipulated military contracts in order to further the Tagge family's businesses, and paved the way for new Tagge technology to be introduced. Ulric found himself named Baron of the Tagge family estate when both of his older siblings, brothers Orman and Silas, were killed in the Omega Frost debacle at Junction. However, Ulric was confronted by Darth Vader shortly afterward, who revealed that he had recovered the bodies of Orman and Silas. Using their reanimation as a pressure point, Vader forced Ulric to agree to his own plans, not those of the Tagge family.

During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, TaggeCo was one of the many corporations that was allied with the Trade Federation. However, in the wake of the battle and the Federation's reprimandation, TaggeCo severed all ties to the Federation, claiming that it could no longer trust the Federation's leadership. TaggeCo was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. During the Clone Wars, TaggeCo remained neutral, but came to side with the Empire during the Galactic Civil War after several prominent TaggeCo executives were given positions as Imperial officers. With the Emperor's death at the Battle of Endor, TaggeCo agreed to work closely with the New Republic, ensuring that its corporate revenues would continue to flow in.

Tahl was wounded and captured by the Melida shortly after the Twenty-Second Battle of Zehava, when she was dispatched to Melida/Daan to help negotiate a peace treaty. Qui-Gon and his padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were dispatched to locate her, but they were captured by Wehutti and the Melida as well. They were rescued by members of The Young, who led them to Tahl's severely wounded body. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan managed to rescue Tahl, and got her prompt medical attention off-planet. However, as a result of the injuries she suffered at the hands of the Melida, Tahl was rendered blind. Her connection with the Force remained strong, though, and she found she could still "see" with its help. In the wake of the Melida-Daan incident, Tahl chose not to take on a Padawan learner, and traveled to Centax 2 to look into Clee Rhara's starfighter training facility. After the sabotage was linked to Vox Chun, Tahl returned to Coruscant and took Bant Eerin as her Padawan. When Ewane was killed on New Apsolon, Tahl demanded to be sent to the planet to discover the truth. She managed to infiltrate the Absolutes, but had to break off all contact with Coruscant in order to maintain her cover. When Qui-Gon traveled to the planet to help her, she initially chafed at his intrusion. However, her love for him overcame her anger, and she accepted his help. While searching for the Absolutes' base of power, Tahl pledged her life to Qui-Gon when he told her of his devotion to her. Unfortunately, her cover had been blow, and Tahl was forced to flee. She was pursued and captured by Balog's forces, who believed that she had a list of those Workers who were informants to the Absolutes. Tahl did not have the list, but told Balog otherwise so that he would keep her alive. Qui-Gon managed to rescue her, but she was too weak to continue living. Balog had caused severe damage to her body with his interrogation drugs, and Tahl was barely able to escape from his base. After Qui-Gon brought her to Manex's residence, doctors struggled to help her, but they were unable to save her. Tahl died knowing that Qui-Gon loved her with all his heart.

He had been the victim of torture at the hands of an unknown being, and was terrified when captured by them. He whined the entire time that the Alliance team was waiting for a rescue ship, since their own vessel was damaged in the fighting for Trenwyth. He seemed to develop an emotional attachment to Leia during his captivity, as she was the only member of the group to show him any compassion. It was later discovered that Tai was a wing leader in the Nagai Navy. When he returned to Nagi, Tai was killed by his commanding officer, Den Siva, for accepting the help of Organa and the Zeltrons.

(SBS) Tailchaser this was one of the many false identities created by Cecil Noone and his band of thieves for the starship Asaari Wind, which they had stolen from Ritinki. (GMR1) Tailfin Cantina this cantina, located in the northwest quadrant of the Center Sphere sector of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, was owned by Jerrahg.

Tailrings are attracted to shiny objects, and are considered excellent thieves. However, they are also considered a good-luck charm by Socorran pirates, who strive to find one in the desert. Tailrings bond almost instantly to a being they identify with, forming a lifelong bond. The pirates welcome their company because, for an unexplained reason, tailrings love to eat mynocks, and they will attack any mynocks attached to their owner's ship. (BSS) Tails this was the nickname used by Solo Jaxal to describe his Twi'leki companion, Limba.

He was somewhat sensitive to the Force, and his mother spent many years travelling the galaxy with him, in an effort to expand his - and her own - horizons. (EL1) Tainer, Kell a human male from the planet Sluis Van, Kell was one of the first pilots to serve in Wraith Squadron. His real last name was Doran, but after the death of Kissek Doran, his mother changed their name and tried to start again. She moved her family to Alderaan just before the Empire destroyed the planet, and only Kell was offplanet when the Death Star arrived. This series of actions galvanized his resolve to fight back against the Empire, and Kell joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Kell served as a mechanic at the Sluis Van Shipyards, before they were destroyed during the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. He then joined the New Republic and was a demolitions expert with Page's Commandos. Kell then demonstrated an ability to fly starfighters in simulation, and was given the chance to try the real thing. However, after he crashed a Z-95 Headhunter and an X-Wing in practice - claiming unresponsive controls each time - he was demoted from the pilot ranks. Wedge Antilles was impressed enough with his abilities, though, to offer him a spot with the Wraiths. When Kell realized that Wes Janson - the man who was forced to shoot down Kissek - was also part of the Wraiths, he balked. Wedge Antilles maneuvered him into staying with the Wraiths, however. Kell served as the Squadron's demolition's expert and it's backup mechanic. After the capture of the Night Caller, Kell fell in love with Tyria Sarkin. When the Wraiths were called upon to defend Talasea from an attack by Apwar Trigit, Kell worked hard to protect his fellow Wraiths. For his bravery and ingenuity, he was promoted to Lieutenant. His unusual tactics and skills also attracted the notice of Starfighter Command, and they awarded him the Kalidor Crescent. During the hunt for Warlord Zsinj, Tainer assumed the identity of Lieutenant Dissek, a member of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force. After Zsinj was defeated, Kell and Tyria were married, and a son was born to them shortly afterward. Years later, as the fight against the Yuuzhan Vong progressed, Tainer continued to work as a Wraith Intelligence officer. He was part of the group which ended up on Borleias in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant. (WS, IF, EL1, GMR9) Tai'ni this is the native race of the planet Di'tai'ni. They were members of the New Republic. (SOP) Taire, Bufon this well-muscled, dark-skinned man worked as the bartender at the Outlander Club, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. Many of his patrons believed that Taire watered down his drinks, but never confronted him about it because his prices were reasonable. His heavily-scarred face and mismatched eyes belied his rough-and-tumble career, a trait which earned him his role with Volven Roxe. (SWDB, SWI75) Taisden a New Republic Intelligence officer in charge of deciphering the Teljkon vagabond's transmissions, Taisdan served on the Glorious.

(THG) Take Them On this song, written and played by the band Red Shift Limit, first appeared on the compilation Thoughts from the Core. It was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9) Takeel this burned-out Snivvian mercenary was known in Mos Eisley as a spice-addicted double-crosser. He turned many individuals over to the Empire. Takeel was the twin brother of Zutton, and was the first of the pair to speak and walk. He was forced to undergo personality reprogramming in order to avoid any genetic problems, but the operations left him with little remaining to his own mind. He later worked for Jabba the Hutt as a small-time bounty hunter, and was ordered to recover the missing accounting droid CZ-3. Takeel caught up with the droid, only to have Tols Vengra confront him. The Jenet claimed that the droid was the property of Opun Mcgrrrr. Unfortunately for both Takeel and the Jenet, Zutton blasted the droid to pieces. (CCG, MTSE, SWJ11) Takel, Griff this Imperial governor was placed in charge of the political situation on Esseles when Palpatine instituted the New Order.

(SWJ7, SWJ8, SWJ9) Takel, Miltin this man was one of the Empire's twelve Grand Admirals. Takel was known as a brilliant strategist, and he was solely responsible for the Imperial victory at the Siege of Trasemene. Unknown to most of his peers, Takel was also addicted to glitterstim. He used the powerful stimulant to help him "foresee" the events of a battle, which gave his strategies a better chance of succeeding. Takel was aboard the second Death Star during the Battle of Endor, and was deep in the throes of a glitterstim high when the Alliance began its assault. He immediately felt the anxiety of Grand Admiral Declann and the death of Emperor Palpatine, and fled the space station before it was destroyed. When the Imperials regrouped at Kessel, Takel's heightened senses picked up a strange connection to the being chosen to succeed Palpatine, Trioculus. However, Takel went too far in questioning Trioculus' proposed tactics, and Trioculus had Takel executed for his insubordination. (SESB, ECH, SWI66) Takhaff Uul this young Yuuzhan Vong priest was one of the devotees of Yun-Yuuzhan. Shortly after the Battle of Coruscant, Takhaff Uul approached the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, with the interpretation of a dream he had. The dream was believed to have come from Yun-Yuuzhan himself, and indicated that the god was angry for not receiving a portion of the glory which was coming from the conquest of the galaxy. For this reason, the radank claw which Warmaster Lah had grafted to his own arm was failing to bond with the rest of his body. The Warmaster was already questioning the judgement of Ghithra Dal, and was tracking the actions of Dal and Uul. In an effort to prove that no one could stand against him, Tsavong Lah let loose a herd of wild rancors aboard the Shaper transport ship Fu'ulanh, killing Ghithra Dal and all his compatriots, including Takhaff Uul. (EL1, EL2) Takill, Kirk this man, a native of the planet Corellia, was one of the first managers of medical research at the New Republic Medical Institute.

After being stranded on Dolis 3 when the Imperial Remnant signed a peace accord with the New Republic, Derran and Anlys decided to try and disrupt the wedding of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade. They hoped to hold the ceremony hostage while exacting a form of revenge on the Republic. When Derran's brute-force methods failed to get them anywhere on Coruscant, Anlys tried to get her hands on the wedding dress designed for Mara, in an effort to steal it and put a halt to the ceremony. She intercepted Jari'kyn and tried to steal the dress, but Banner Sumptor decided that her methods did not warrant his loyalty. Sumptor shot Anlys' escort, allowing Jari'kyn time to hit Anlys over the head and render her unconscious. Anlys was later imprisoned to await trial. (U) Takkar, Derran this man was the Imperial Moff of Dolis 3, a position he attained shortly before the Battle of Endor. He remained staunchly loyal to the Empire, something that was easy to do given Dolis 3's remote location from Coruscant. Takkar and his wife, Anlys, vowed to exact revenge on the New Republic, but were unable to determine the correct point in time to strike. Their opportunity came when it was announced that Luke Skywalker was going to marry Mara Jade. Takkar gathered his former officers - Banner Sumptor, Chik Apla, Chala Venan, and Iry Danta - and set off for Coruscant. There, they tried to disrupt the wedding in any way possible. Several plans failed, until Anlys suggested stealing Mara's wedding dress and putting a halt to the ceremony. This plan nearly succeeded, but Banner Sumptor disabled Anlys's escort, and Anlys was knocked unconscious by Jari'kyn. Derran realized that he had to take matters into his own hands, and infiltrated the wedding disguised as an Ithorian diplomat. Into his costume he placed a datapad loaded with a virus which would wipe out New Republic communications stations throughout the galaxy. He threatened to download the virus into the Republic's computers, destroying communications and fragmenting the fledgling Republic. Derran was unaware that the New Republic had shielded Coruscant's computers from just this sort of sabotage years before, and the plan was ultimately doomed. However, Luke Skywalker did not use the Force to coerce Derran or prevent him from triggering the virus anyway, and Derran found himself unsure about the propaganda he had read on the Republic. Ultimately, Luke offered him a chance to join the New Republic on his own terms, and Derran agreed to try.

Her love for art was the only love she has; she has no morals or respects for other beings. She ran the Sophistication art gallery, which dealt in works created by the dilletantes of Imperial society, although her background was in the artwork of pre-technology civilizations. Tal Anavere herself detested the art created by the talentless Imperials, but nonetheless managed to sell most of it. Her contacts within the Empire allowed her to surreptitiously gather useful information, which she later passed on to the Alliance. She also brewed an addictive tea, which she served in her gallery in order to keep the Imperials happy with her work. (CRO) Tal Fraan this young Yevethan Proctor obtained perjured pleas from beings captured during the Yevethan Purge. The pleas indicated that the Yevethans were transporting the prisoners on the warships that met the New Republic's Fifth Battle Group at Doornik-319. Tal Fraan had spent time with humans and other New Republic races, and knew that they would not fire on innocent prisoners. The ploy worked to perfection, as the Fifth Battle Group's K-Wing bombers held off from attacking the Yevethan ships, which opened fire and decimated the Republic's forces. Nil Spaar was not at all happy to learn that Tal Fraan had risked the Yevethan fleet in this way, but he was pleased with the results and kept Fraan as an advisor. When Tal Fraan continued to underestimate the New Republic, and the Black Nine shipyards were lost at Prildaz, Nil Spaar could no longer tolerate his young protcor. Nil Spaar sliced off Tall Fraan's head with a single swipe of his arm, and left the body for garbage rather than honor it with burial.

She oversaw the deposition of Senator Viqi Shesh, during the investigation of the events leading up to the debacle at the Battle of Fondor. When the Republic regrouped on Calamari, Senator Ranth was nominated as one of the candidates for the position of Chief of State. Many Senators worried that Ranth was not actually considering a true campaign, but was simply building up enough support so that she could withdraw at the last moment and sway the vote to another candidate in return for political favors. She maintained a good percentage of the vote, however, and was courted by both Fyor Rodan and Cal Omas in an effort to swing the vote. In the end, Ranth threw her support to Cal Omas. In return for her loyalty, Cal Omas promised Ranth a position on the High Council which oversaw the actions of the Jedi Knights.

The planet was purchased, some years before the Battle of Naboo, by the Quarren egg-mates, Tallet and Lekket. (HFAS) Talas Piran this hulking Locan was a slave on Hintivan II for many years, using only vibro-axes to fell the huge trees which grew on the planet. At some point, he managed to acquire enough credits to buy his own freedom. However, instead of setting out on his own, Talas Piran sold his abilities and experience with slaves to the Mytaranor Slaving Council. His knowledge of controlling slaves earned him several promotions, until he found himself as the chief slavemaster on the Council. His physical prowess earned him even more respect, and soon was named the leader of the Council. In order to heighten his position, Talas Piran often wielded the same vibro-axe he used on Hintivan II, but he was smart enough to realize that a dead or injured slave worth considerably less than a perfect specimen. (AIR) Talasea situated as the fourth world in the Morobe System, this planet was located near the Galactic Core. Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron was moved there after its training on Folor, as part of an attempt to dissuade the remnants of the Empire from trying to overtake Coruscant before the New Republic could retake it.

He flew an X-ball Ugly into Kala'uun Starport and challenged Wedge to a duel, with the kor as the reward for the winner. When Wedge accepted the challenge, Tal'dira then challenged Koh'shak's truthfulness in his business dealings. Tal'dira accused Koh'shak of keeping all ryll profits for himself, and Koh'shak could not refute the claim. Tal'dira took control of the negotiations, and gave the kor ryll to Wedge as a gift, warrior to warrior. Tal'dira later delivered a squadron of Chir'daki starfighters to Rogue Squadron, to supplement the forces going up against the Bacta Cartel. When Nawara Ven was shot down in the Battle of Thyferra, his injuries forced him out of the cockpit. Tal'dira accepted Wedge's offer to join the Rogues, and continued the tradition of a Twi'lek in the squadron by serving as Rogue Five. However, his tenure with the Rogues was cut short during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. In a bold move, Zsinj had his agents brainwash certain members of specific alien species in order to create a rift between the human and non-human races of the New Republic. This was known as Project Funeral,and Tal'dira was one of those beings brainwashed. When Galey gave him the code phrase "Wedge Antilles hops on one transparisteel leg," the implanted programming took over. He was compelled to kill Wedge, and got his chance over Jussafet 4.

The Talid society was very open, and there was little concept of trade, bargaining, or commerce. If a Talid needed something, they simply took it whenever they found it. Because of this social trait, the settlers who came to Ando Prime believed that the Talids were simple thieves. The Talids were already slightly xenophobic, and the growing number of offworld miners gave then cause to retreat further. When the offworlders began encroaching on their lands, the Talids began to fight back, using their knowledge of the planet's environment to offset their primitive weapons. (GMR2) Talien this Yarkora gambler lived on Onadax during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Han Solo beat Talien with a cubic sabacc once, much to the Yarkora's surprise.

Each of the twelve bombs built by the Ugnaughts was equipped with a droid brain, which powered up whenever a living being tried to approach the bomb. The droid brain was attached to a vocoder, and the droid began talking to the being nearest to its location, offering apparently sincere information on how to disarm it. As the Imperials discovered, however, this information actually armed the bomb and set it to explode. After Treece was removed from Cloud City, several black marketeers tried to sell these bombs, but their effectiveness was limited by the fact that many beings knew they were providing false information. (PH) Talkity-trap this was the Gungan term used to describe the mouth of a being who talked too much.

It is the home of one of the oldest shipyards in the galaxy, which was set up around the time of the Great Sith War. During the modern era, these shipyards were overrun by the Empire, and alien slaves were at first removed from their positions as laborers, After the formation of the Guild of Non-Human Skilled Laborers, aliens were allowed to maintain their jobs, and many were imported to perform the labor. A strong cell of Alliance support blossomed on Tallaan, but was never able to remove its Imperial yolk. The Empire officially noted Wilhuf Tarkin's death as a shuttle accident at the shipyards. (SWJ7, CRO, PGT) Tallaan Shipyards this starship manufacturer was based on the planet Tallaan during the height of the New Order, and built most of its designs at its orbital repair depot.

Unfortunately, many of the officers and soldiers escaped before the lockdown of the garrison was completed, and these insurgents led a successful resistance campaign against the Federation. (GCG) Tallah Dynasty this ancient dynasty had governed the planet Gala and its three tribes for many generations. The Tallah were the first rulers to unite the three tribes of the city, hills, and sea into a single people despite their deep-seated hatred of each other. However, over the years, the Tallah rulers became corrupt. King Cana of the Tallah was unable to prevent the more powerful families of Galacian culture from solidifying their own power bases, and the government became more distanced from the lower classes. After Cana's death, his wife Veda assumed control of the dynasty. Just over a decade before the Battle of Naboo, Queen Veda realized that the populace would not stand for the corruption of the dynasty any further, and opened up a general election to chose her successor. The elections were to have been mediated by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but they were hijacked to the planet Phindar by Paxxi Derida. The Tallah maintained a country estate, well away from the demands of the government in Galu. Veda often retired to the estate during her illness, but was unable to travel during her last days. Note that Jedi Apprentice: The Hidden Past calls this the "Beju-Tallah" dynasty. (HP, MOC) Tallakron this is the largest of Algara II's four moons. It is the site of a military outpost. (PG2) Tallaso this planet was under Imperial control during the Galactic Civil War. (HR) Tallek this planet was under Imperial control when an outbreak of thorn fever hit.

(GCG) Tallet this Quarren and and his egg-mate, Lekket, were once native to the city of Heurkea, on the planet Calamari, until a business dealing with Senator Tikkes exposed some of their illicit dealings with the Hutts. Tikkes, rather than have his own name smeared because of his association with them, exposed them as criminals and had the Old Republic police shut down their operation. Tallet and Lekket escaped, and were forced to eke out an existence on Talas. During their escape, the two Quarren noticed that a Jedi Knight was assisting the police, and vowed to gain a measure of revenge on the Jedi for ruining their lives. Tallet himself was injured in the escape, his head and shoulders bathed in toxic fuel when the Jedi deflected a blaster bolt into the fuel cell. Lekket brought him to Balmorra, and paid a group of Colicoid scientists to restore as much of his body as they could. Tallet and Lekket later hired Aurra Sing to hunt down and kill Tikkes and the Jedi, whom they later identified as the Dark Woman, shortly after the Battle of Naboo.

(CCW) Tallon Roll the starfighter combat maneuver was designed by Adar Tallon, to help pilots compensate if they overshoot their target. The attacking craft closes too quickly on its target, and overshoots it. The Tallon Roll can then be used, as the attacker first levels out, then pulls the nose of his ship upward in a tight spiral. The defender is then the ship which overshoots. The maneuver is often dangerous, as it can temporarily disorient the attacking pilot. (RASB) Tallon Split this theoretically simple maneuver was devised by Adar Tallon. In its simplicity, it requires split-second reactions and uncanny reflexes from two fighter pilots, and is especially dangerous to execute. The two pilots fly close to each other, approaching a capital ship. They need to be close enough to register on the capital ship's targetting computers as a single target. At very close range, the two fighters split apart. One continues on its strafing run, while the other is shot at by the capital ship's weapons, drawing fire from the first ship. The idea is that the ship on the strafing run has about five seconds of clear sailing until the capital ship's targetting computer can detect it as a second target. (MTS) Tallon, Adar a naval commander in the Old Republic, he was a masterful battle technician whose maneuvers were used by the Empire, and are still used by the New Republic. He was at his best when he worked with his friend, Jan Dodonna. Dodonna's strategies were often paired with Tallon's starship combat maneuvers to create incredibly effective battle plans. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Tallon held the rank of Admiral, and often spent time speaking with new recruits about the realities of war. When the Empire grew to power, Tallon faked his own death rather than being conscripted into the Imperial Navy. He hid on the planet Tatooine, until a group of Rebels found his hiding place and convinced him to join the Alliance. (RASB, TM, RCHC) Tallon, Kay Adar Tallon's faithful wife.

His career as an Imperial servant was unremarkable, and it moved him from backwater world to backwater world. Talmont was quite full of his own self-importance, and hoped to escape the drudgery of Tatooine by capturing Jabba the Hutt and bringing down his criminal empire. He was appointed to the post by Tour Aryon after Orun Depp was executed by an assassin droid. This fact frightened Talmont to his core, and lived in fear the entire span of years in which he was Prefect. (GG7, TJP, MEAS, SWI65) Talnar this Alliance procurement officer was shot down by Imperial forces over Naalol, and was forced to crashland on the backwater world. The forty-five-year-old Talnar was known to his desire to work alone, which his superiors allowed only because of his skills.

Thus, it has never been fully surveyed. It is located in the Expansion Region. The little exploration that has been done on Taloraan has indicated that, at certain levels within the clouds, habitation could be possible. In acutality, the planet harbors an abundance of life, including the fleft-wauf and sleft-chuffni. Humans have also recently settled the planet's upper atmosphere, living inside colossal island beasts.

The Prey Chaser measured 40 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of laser cannons. It was simple to operate, requiring just a pilot to manage all systems. However, the ship had room for up to 25 passengers and 30 metric tons of cargo, making it the perfect ship for getting a group of warriors into battle. Heavily shielded and armored, the Prey Chaser was outfitted with the fastest hyperdrives available. (DOE) Talos this spaceport city, found on the planet Atzerri, was a fairly reputable metropolis, despite the existence of the Traders Plaza.

He and his troops remained hidden until the Vagaari left the area, then entered the Outbound Flight to rescue Formbi and the others. Talshib's troops were able to seal off the pylons between Dreadnaughts, which were damaged when the Vagaari stole the D-Four Dreadnaught. This saved the lives of those beings still on Outbound Flight, sealing in their limited air supply. Despite being able to locate Formbi and Drask, Talshib was disgruntled by the fact that Dean Jinzler showed the Chiss how to get rid of the line creepers that had been planted in Outbound Flight by the Vagaari.

As was customary, Balawai who were subjected to the tan pel'trokal were blindfolded and taken deep into the jungle. There, they were stripped of all their possessions, including clothing and supplies, and left to survive on their own. In this way, the Korunnai removed the fallability of the human being from the judgement of another being, leaving the jungle itself to decide one's fate. Very few Balawai ever returned alive. Because the Balawai controlled the daylight hours with their gunship patrols, the Korunnai chose to set loose their prisoners at night.

Those who remained behind weren't ready for such a swift return, and the ship lost its way in an evening fogbank, crashing with a mighty impact and killing all aboard. Each night from that point forward, the ghosts of the explorers returned in their gohstly starship to torment the living.

Realizing that his work could possibly lead to the destruction of the Old Republic, Ratri stole a wealth of project files and the only working prototype of his work and went into hiding. He took his family and fled to his wife's homeworld of Corellia, where he thought he might be safe. Corellia, at the time, was striving to remain neutral in the growing conflict between the Old Republic and the Separatists. However, the Techno Union discovered his defection and sent a group of mercenaries to recover the prototype at all costs. The Jedi Knights were called in to rescue Ratri before the mercenaries, led by Tendir Blue, managed to capture Tane. However, by the time they arrived, Tane had already been captured by Blue. Unknown to Blue, however, "Tane" was actually Nejaa Halcyon in disguise. The real Tane had already been whisked away to a safehouse to ensure the survival of he and his family. When the Jedi refused to cooperate, Blue shot "Tane" with his blaster and escaped, believing that he had killed the real Tane and recovered the prototypes he had been carrying.

This did not stop Darth Vader from chasing the ship down over Tatooine and boarding it, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. He was pursuing Princess Leia Organa, who he believed to be a supporter of the Alliance. At the time, Leia was using the Tantive IV to obtain the plans to the first Death Star from Toprawa, then fly to Tatooine to recruit Obi-Wan Kenobi out of retirement.

Zoodia's bomber crashed on a small moon, but no attempt was ever made to rescue her. She was rescued by an agridroid which notified the authorities of her survival, but Zoodia had suffered major damage to her right arm. The recovery mission arrived too late to save the arm, which had to be amputated and replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis. The artificial arm, coupled with the Empire's lack of commitment to rescue her caused her to resent the Imperials, and she blamed the Empire for her pains. She resigned her commission, and travelled a number of backwater worlds before meeting Xalto Sneerzick. Sneerzick's words rung true with her, although she wasn't sure if it was because of her emotional state or the fact that a droid had rescued her. She joined the Droid Abolitionist Movement, and became Xalto's enforcer. She used her Imperial background as a cover for the Movement's ambushes of Cosmohaul Shipping transports, and then became an engineer when Sneerzick's team managed to infiltrate Cosmohaul and take control of the Argent Lady.

Behind each side of the taozin's mouth was speciallized gland which produced a sticky, viscous fluid that solidified on contact with air. The taozin used this to build its tunnels, as well as to caoture prey. Visually, the taozin's entire body was transparent, including its plated skin and internal organs. The internal structure of the taozin's body allowed it to break up light, including the light created by a lightsaber. This made the taozin almost impervious to a lightsaber attack. They were believed to have been extinct, a belief which was due in part to the fact that the creature did not radiate any presence within the Force. It was discovered by the droid I-5YQ that the skin nodules of a taozin could be severed from the body, and yet still were invisible to the Force, as Lorn Pavan used one nodule to sneak up on Darth Maul. Further investigation revealed that the taozin was native to the moon Va'art.

(LOE) Tapani Federation established some 2,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, this governing body took control of the Tapani Sector of the Galaxy in the face of growing popular unrest with the dynastic government founded by Shey Tapani some 6,000 years earlier. About 95 years after being established, the Tapani Federation sent its first delegates to the Old Republic. (PGT) Tapani Free Press this newsnet was based on Procopia, and was outwardly an independent reporter of news in the Tapani Sector. However, the newsnet's primary reporters were loyal to House Melantha, but they avoided controversy by digging up dirt on Melantha as well as theother noble Houses. (LOE) Tapani Imperial Hotel this luxurious hotel was located on Procopia's Estalle Island, and provided rooms to a wider clientele than the Grand Royal Hotel, but at very similar prices. (LOE) Tapani Royal Spaceport this small facility, located on Procopia's Estalle Island, was one of the most advanced spaceports found in the galaxy during the height of the New Order. (LOE) Tapani Sector this area of the Colonies region of the galaxy was considered a respected part of the Core Worlds, due to its proximity and wealth. It was made up of two distinct areas: The Expanse, located in the heart of the sector; and the Freeworlds Region, situated along its border. In all, Tapani Sector included seventy star systems, of which about 15 systems were heavily populated most other systems have some form of settlement, primarily mining colonies. The inhabited worlds were controlled by some 345 noble families, each of which was aligned with a major political House. On most navigational charts, the only ways into or out of the sector was by the Shapani Bypass or the Giju Run. (EGP, PGT, TSIA) Tapani Shadowport this hidden smugglers' haven was rumored to be located somewhere in Tapani Sector, but its location was never discovered. Many a con artist sold the coordinates of the shadowport to unsuspecting travelers. (PGT) Tapani Starship Cooperative this consortium of starship manufacturers based in the Tapani Sector of the galaxy controlled much of that industry in the sector. (LOE) Tapani, Shey this warrior prince was a member of House Melantha, and rose to power in Tapani Sector some 8,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. It was Shey Tapani who first envisioned a united Tapani Sector government, and to this end he started a vast, bloody civil war to bring all the Houses into a single body. During the twenty years of the war, Tapani eliminated two Houses completely while a third collapsed a century after he was crowned emperor. Tapani established the sector capital on Procopia, building a vast estate on Estalle Island. Sixteen successive generations of Tapani's descendants ruled the Sector, until the dynasty was overthrown in favor of a more democratic government. (PGT) Tapani-class Carrier another starship designed by the Tapani Starship Cooperative, this 375-meter-long starship was developed to deliver scores of Manta-class starfighters into battle. Armed with six turbolaser batteries and ten ion cannon batteries, the Tapani-class carrier requried a crew of 1,885 officers and 53 gunners, and could transport up to 100 troopers, 120 pilots, and 75 metric tons of cargo. (LOE) Tapani-class Cruiser this starship design was manufactured by the Tapani Starship Cooperative during the early years of the New Order. Also classified as an assault frigate, these ships were armed with twenty laser cannons, fifteen turbolaser batteries, and six quad-laser batteries. The Tapani-class cruiser measured 750 meters in length, and was crewed by 3,550 officers and 114 gunners. It could transport up to 800 troops and 12,500 metric tons of cargo. (TSIA, LOE) Tapcafe this was the generic term for a bar, often housing several games of chance. (DFR) Tapeno Library located on Procopia's Estalle Island, this library was famous for its collection of books, scrolls, mundane holocrons, and computer banks which documented the last 7,000 years of history in Tapani Sector. Despite the support of nearly all the sector's noble Houses, the Library was unable to prevent the complete loss of its records of the Jedi Knights from the planet Pelagia. (LOE) Tap-Nar-Pal this Cerean male was training to become a Jedi Knight, under the tutelage of Jedi Master Ronhar Kim, when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. Kim recognized Tao's potential, and often felt that his apprentice was well ahead of him in terms of insight and skills. As the war ground on, Tap approached his Master with a strange plan to have all the Senators of the Republic tested for midichlorians. He had heard the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi's imprisonment on Geonosis, and the report Obi-Wan had made about his interrogation by Count Dooku. Tap believed that the war could be cut short if the Sith Lord in the Senate was exposed. Master Kim agreed to bring the idea to his old friend, Chancellor Palpatine, who argued that the idea would cause more damage than good. Tap suggested that Palpatine himself be the first to take the test, thereby showing the rest of the Senate that it was a good idea. Palpatine agreed to think about the idea, but asked the Jedi to keep it to themselves for the time being. Immediately after their meeting with Palpatine, Kim and Tap were dispatched to Merson, to establish a staging area for a larger mission to eliminate the Merson Pirates. While Master Kim led the ground forces, Tap remained in space, leading the starfighters that defended the small fleet that accompanied them to Merson. Both the fleet and the ground forces were ambushed upon their arrival, and were cut off from each other. The ground forces took heavy casualties when Captain Gilad Pellaeon was unable to free up a rescue ship. Tap took it upon himself to break away from the fight to try and rescue his Master, but his ship was badly damaged by Separatist droid starfighters as he reached the planet's surface. Unable to control the ship, Tap died when it plowed into a field and exploded. (RBL) Tapper, Quelev Talon Karrde's former second-in-command, Quelev accompanied Kaarde to Varont where they decided to see if the safari business was profitable. Quelev himself was a former leader of a smuggling group, and made a small fortune in the wake of the Battle of Endor. However, much of his business was in Imperial-held territory, and he was hunted down by a local governor. Karrde happened to be in the area, and they agreed to merge their operations and avoid the Imperials. On Varonat, they stumbled onto Gamgalon's Yagaran aleudrope business, and got too close to the truth. They were cornered by Gamgalon's forces, and Tapper tried to turn the tables. He was too slow, though, and was killed in a firefight. (EGC, TFE, SWJ1) Tappratine also known as the codru bat, this four-winged bat was native to Munto Codru. (EGP) Tapps, Kaaver this man was a member of the tactical analysis team assigned to Supreme Chancellor Valorum, shortly before Valorum was deposed. Tapps was dispatched to the Naboo System to reconnoiter the Trade Federation's blockade of the system, before Valorum sent Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to Naboo. (SON) Taproot Tree a tree native to Altor 14, it has a huge taproot that sinks deep into the ground to provide sustenance. (GG4) TapTronics CovOps this small corporation produced a variety of surveillance equipment. (HAS) Tar this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "cloud" or "mist", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG) Tar this was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "swift". (GCG) Tar Lup this Shistavenan wolfman owned Lup's Wares and Supplies in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine. Along with his wife, Kal, they were congenial despite their fearsome appearance. However, the Lups never forgot a debt. (GG7) Tar Morden shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance established a starfighter manufacturing enterprise on this planet. (MB) T'ar Ta'avon this Chadra-Fan ran a starship repair facility on the outskirts of Romar's primary spaceport. Known as an outlaw tech, most spacers weren't sure if the cheerful little alien was an engineering genius or a crazed tinkerer. He could fix most things, but often found other things to "improve" while he was working. (PSG) Tara this woman served as Roark Slader's second-in-command aboard the Slader's Raider II during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ3) Tarabba Prime this planet was the shipping and communications hub of the Tarabba Sector, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (X3) Tarados Gon this Klatooinan Jedi Knight was one of the handful of Jedi who survived the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis. Tarados Gon was part of the small group who were surrounded by the droid armies of Count Dooku and his Separatists, just before the Army of the Republic arrived on Geonosis. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode II indicates that Tarados Gon died during the Battle of Geonosis, when the LAAT/I carrying him was shot down and crashed. (OWS, IWE2) Taraloon located in the Quintar Nebula, Taraloon is a dry, rocky world riddled with caves and caverns. It was discovered by Tron Nixx, who was working for the pirate Drek Drednar. The pirates established their base of operations on the planet. The day on Taraloon lasts 18 standard hours, and the year lasts 285 local days. (SWJ5) Tarana-te'sath this was the term used by the Tarasin race to describe their world in the aftermath of a great cataclysm. Many Tarasin elders believed that the tarana-te'sath was going to occur sometime during the Clone Wars. The actions of a single Human Jedi Knight, who had intimate knowledge of the Tarasin, convinced even Mother Dariana that the threat of the tarana-te'sath was real. This Jedi confirmed Dariana's fears about Cularin's survival in the wake of the Clone Wars, and provided the impetus she needed to invoke the shorda'ki. (LFCW) Taranu, Rif this man was a noted smuggler, who often carried cargoes for the Alliance during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He used his converted Corellian Space Cruiser, the Dead Reckoning to run weapons and supplies to Alliance worlds on the fringes of the galaxy. After the Battle of Endor, Taranu went back to smuggling full-time for profit. (SOG) Tarascii Explosives this small weapons manufacturer specialized in the design of thermal detonators. Tarascii was a subsidiary of BlasTech, and was one of the few corporations which were licensed by the Empire to manufacture baradium. (ROE) Tarasin this species of sentient, quilled reptiloids was native to the planet Cularin. Believed to be descended from the same stock as the kilassin, the Tarasin evolved into social groups and eventually gained sentience. These beings were incredibly attuned to the Force, and their society was based on a symbiotic relationship with their planet. Their religion was also based on the worship of nature, and any actions made against the natural order of the planet were punished. Because of their relationship with the planet, most Tarasin will only travel off-planet for very short periods of time, and only for a short distance. When logging corporations began to discover the exotic trees of Cularin, the Tarasin were driven to fight off several attempts to clear a forest. The skin of a Tarasin was unusual in that it could change its coloration in response to the Tarasin's mood, and also as a form of communication. A more complex form of communication is achieved by simply changing the colors of the fingers on one hand, rather than openly expressing oneself by changing their body color. Naturally, a Tarasin is the light green color of the horonna plant's leaves. White skintone indicated joy, while black signified the end of a conversation. Orange skintone, when similar to that of the gargrell flower, indicated that the Tarasin was angry or irritated, depending on the intensity of the coloration. When a Tarasin changed its skin color to purple - a color which didn't naturally exist in the ecosystem of Cularin - it was often done in one's home, and indicated amusement. Yellow, like the vine of the arrgrar, indicated illness in an individual, while blue indicated a level of respect or deference on the part of the speaker. Among the distinguishing parts of the Tarasin form were the kampo, the Tarasin name for their head-fan, and the sa'tosin, the quills which grew from the backs of their forearms. (LFC, LFCW) Tarasin Revolt this bloody struggle between the Tarasin, native to the planet Cularin, and the offworlders who traveled to the planet to harvest ch'hala wood, developed shortly after the Tarasin declared the ch'hala tree to be sacred to their religion. The Tarasin began to prohibit the harvesting of ch'hala trees for wood, despite the efforts of several corporations which had set up logging operations on Cularin. When the Trade Federation began to bring in armed guards to protect their logging operations, the Tarasin responded by attacking the loggers and blocking access to the forests. The violence only escalated when Tarasin tribes across the planet joined in the blockade. The Jedi Knights were eventually called in to mediate the situation, but at first refused to intervene. However, as the violence escalated, the Jedi could no longer sit back and watch. Two counselors were dispatched to the Cularin System. In what became known as the Cularin Compact, the Jedi outlined the rights of the Tarasin people to hold the trees sacred. The Compact also noted that outside logging interests had been previously allowed under Tarasin religion. After six months of negotiation, the Compact described the sharply curtailed logging activities which would be allowed on Cularin, thereby satisfying the Tarasin's demands and allowing logging to continue. A peace between the Tarasin and the offworlders eventually took hold. (LFC) Tarasinese this was the native language of the Tarasin people of Cularin. (LFC) Taratan this Kubaz was born on the planet Morning's Bell. It was believed he was captured by the Yevetha when the reptilian race initiated its Great Purge, and held on the Super-class Star Destroyer Pride of Yevetha as a hedge against reprisal by the New Republic. In reality, Taratan and many others had fled Yevethan capture on the Star Morning while Enara maintained an illusion which made the Yevetha believe he was still in the Star Destroyer's holds. (TT) Taray this Nothoiin male was one of just a handful of non-humans ever to work in Cloud City's Wing Guard during the height of the New Order. Originally a native of the Kaniti province on Bavva, Taray grew up in a lawless environment that gave him the resolve to become a police officer. At Bespin, Taray held the rank of Sergeant, and was not above breaking the very laws he was charged with enforcing, so long as he ensured that the spirit of the law was upheld. Taray was also loyal to Lando Calrissian, and often cited individuals for marginal crimes if they spoke ill of the Baron-Administrator. (WOA34) Tarc this was the alias given to the young boy, Dab Hantaq, by Viqi Shesh, during their attempt to escape from Coruscant aboard the Millennium Falcon. Senator Shesh, under the guise of the refugee Welda, claimed that Tarc was the orphaned son of Ran Kether. Their ruse was discovered by the combat droid YVH 1-507A, which detected that Senator Shesh was using an ooglith masquer to alter her appearance. Tarc followed Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, to the based on Borleias after Coruscant was lost to the Yuuzhan Vong, trying to regain a measure of respectability with the New Republic. He renounced his old name and simply went by Tarc, and eventually made friends with Tam Elgrin. (SBS, EL1, EL2) Tarc this race of carnivorous crustaceans was native to the planet Hjaff. They were believed to have evolved from a race of sea-dwelling crustaceans, but were forced to live on dry land over time. The average Tarc was bipedal, standing on two legs and having four arms. The upper pair of arms had dextrous hands, while the lower pair had huge claws for fighting. They stood about two meters tall, but their exoskeleton and their musculature made them extremely large. They lacked lips, teeth, and tongues, but their mouths were filled with small, hollow spikes which were used to inject an acidic saliva into their food. Primary digestion began in the mouth, and the spikes could then be used to shred their food into smaller pieces for swallowing. Tarcs ate primarily the mollusks and other small creatures which lived in the deserts of Hjaff. As a race, the Tarcs were not necessarily violent, but they maintain a zero-tolerance stance with other races. They colonized much of the space around Hjaff, and protected their worlds with a navy known as the Ivlacav Gourn. Tarcs were not allowed to leave their native system, and it was a crime to be caught outside their home without permission. (AE) Tardi this man, the Alliance's Minster of Finance and a Viscount by title, accompanied Leia Organa to Aargau, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. The Alliance hoped to acquire funding for a new squadron of X-Wing starfighters, and believed that Tardi was the only member of the Alliance with the knowledge of banking protocol to successfully complete such a transaction with the Bank of Aargau. They planned to use the Crown Jewels of Alderaan as their collateral, knowing that a loan would be granted almost immediately. Unknown to the rest of the galaxy, however, Tardi had actually died several months earlier. Alliance technicians created an android duplicate, knowing that it could pass through Aargauun customs without a problem. The tricky part would be leaving Aargau, when it was discovered that Tardi was actually a droid. For this reason, Leia schemed to have Darth Vader - who was on Aargau to stop the loan - "kill" Tardi in a fight. Vader, however, had secretly turned the tables on Leia. Viscount Tardi's personal doctor was actually an Imperial spy, and relayed information of his death to Vader. After learning that she planned to use the jewels as collateral, Vader bribed the Aargauun officials into allowing him to acquire them. He then went out of his way to explain this to Leia, after disabling the Tardi droid, so that she could not stop him from taking them without canceling the loan for the X-Wings. (MC48) Tardon Golor this male Twi'lek was known as a starship thief of some renown, during the early years of the New Republic. He even stole B-Wing and X-Wing fighters from the New Republic, and sold them to the highest bidders. (WBC) Ta-Ree this was the name given to the Force-like energy which permeated the planet Kathol and much of Kathol Sector. Formed when the concentrated life-energies of the ancient Kathol - trapped in the Lifewell in the wake of the Rift Disaster - twisted the very essense of the Force, the Ta-Ree gave beings on Kathol unusual powers, and amplified the effects of the Force in beings from the rest of the galaxy. However, Ta-Ree powers were only usable on Kathol, as the energy of the Lifewell was focused there. The name "Ta-Ree" is a word which meant "spirit energy" among the various species which lived on the planet Kathol. When the Kathol that were trapped in the Lifewell sensed that beings from other races - mainly the crew of the FarStar - were using Ta-Ree powers, the Kathol began to manipulate the Ta-Ree energy to make it unusable to beings who were not native to Kathol. (E) Tarelle Sel-Weave this lustrous fabric was used in the creation of high-fashion shirts during the height of the New Order. (VD) Taren Plague this dreaded disease has recently been slowed by the use of drugs created on Meris III. (PG) Tarfful this dark-furred Wookiee warrior was one of the thousands who defended their homeworld during the last months of the Clone Wars. For Tarfful it was personal, since much of the fighting took place in Kachirho, where he served as the city's leader. During the war, Tarfful was captured by Separatist-funded Trandoshan slavers, but was later rescued by the Delta Squad of clone commandos. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Tarfful and Chewbacca were glad to have the support of Jedi Master Yoda and his clone troops, led by Commander Gree. However, after Chancellor Palpatine revealed that he was actually Darth Sidious, the Wookiees found themselves the targets rather than the allies. Although Chewbacca managed to gather up Master Yoda and flee, Tarfful was caught in the crossfire and was believed to have been killed. This was all a ruse, meant to cover the escape of Master Yoda and Chewbacca, while allowing the Wookiees time to ambush their pursuers. Tarfful then helped Yoda reach an emergency escape craft, while barking orders to his fellow Wookiees to eliminate the remaining clones. Tarfful was portrayed by Michael Kingma in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, IS3, VD3) Targan this man served as the Imperial Governor of Rydar II, during the height of the New Order. (EGA) Targan this was a common name among the Ranat race.

Vennor equipped the ship with a pair of twin-mounted quad laser cannons, a pair of fire-linked ion cannons, and a tractor beam projector. (FOP) Target Dewback this was the codename of the downed Alliance Y-Wing starfighter lost on planet NCW-781. (IA) Target Drone this small device was used by starfighter pilots to hone their dogfighting skills. (CSWEA) Target Star System this was the name given to the simplest of hyperspace navigational computer systems. It used basic algorithms to plot a straight-line course from a starship's current location to its destination. This destination was denoted as the "target star". Add-on modules provided the target Star System with additional sophistication, allowing a pilot to account for known gravity shadows and mass disturbances. (PM11) Target-Aggressor Attack Resolution Software known as TAARS for short, this starfighter training software allowed training squadrons to document shots taken, hits, and kills without causing real damage to the starfighters themselves. The software interfaces with the ship's targetting computer, telling the pilot when he is hit and when he is killed. (XWN) Targeter Winter's alias during the height of the Imperial Civil War. She only used it for a few weeks on the planet Averam. (TLC) Targeter this was the brand name of a Merr-Sonn ranging scope, produced for use with blaster and laser rifles. It was designed for use by competition shooters, but found wide acceptance in military and paramilitary circles. (ROE) Targeting Computer a device used to aid in targeting shipboard weapons. They can be very small (such as the holographic crosshairs used on X- and Y-Wing snub fighters) are large (used to target the heavy turbolasers on a capital ship). (SW, SCRE) Targonn a planet once ruled by the dictatorship of the maniac Craw. (DRO) Targonnian this race of furred, reptilian avians is native to the planet Targonn. They have overly large beaks, cranial horns, and green skin. (DRO) Tarhassan this was the name given to the human population which was native to the planet Tarhassan. As a people, the Tarhassans were fond of bright colors and lights, as reflected in their clothing and cityscapes. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 73, also describes these people as Tarhassians. (SWI73) Tarhassan this planet, the homeworld of the Tarhassan race, seceded from the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars, despite its previous membership within the Republic. The secession was something of a surprise to the Republic, especially the sudden disappearance of Intelligence agent Edbit Teeks. (SWI73) Tarhassan Planetary Security also known as PlanSec, this was the primary police force that protected the planet Tarhassan during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When the Tarhassan govnerment allied itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, PlanSec quickly adopted the tenents and mindset of the Separatists, and began cracking down on possible Republic sympathizers. It was believed that PlanSec was behind the abduction of Edbit Teeks, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI73) Tarhassian this was another name for the human population of the planet Tarhassan. (SWI73) Tarheel, Cinda this balck-haired woman served the Alliance at the base on the planet Arbra, during the months following the Battle of Hoth. She was part of a team, along with Luke Skywalker and Berl, that was dispatched to Serphidi to make contact with the native Serps. Captain Tarheel's X-Wing fighter was shot down over Serphidi by Imperial TIE Fighters when they entered the system, and she was forced to crash-land her ship on the surface. Only years of experienced helped her make the landing successfully. However, as soon as Luke and Berl arrived to help, they were set upon by a group of armored Serps. Berl was shot and killed, and Cinda was wounded and taken prisoner. She was forced to be one of King S'Shah's slave girls, until the Serp King revealed that she was going to be the main course at a dinner in his honor. She briefly escaped, but was shortly captured and subdued. She was to be cooked at the dinner following one of S'Shah's doom-jousts, but Luke managed to defeat the King, with some help from Elglih. The elderly Serp freed Cinda, and agreed to support the Alliance. (MC64) Taria II this planet was known for its swamps. (MBC) Taria, Sei this young woman was Chancellor Valorum's administrative aide, during the last years of his reign over the Old Republic.

Note that this character is named Sci Taria in the Young Jedi Card Game - The Jedi Council expansion set. (IG1, YJC2, OWS) Tarim a member of the New Republic's historical branch, Tarim feared that the Empire would reclaim the galaxy.

He was forced to close off Rhinnal from the refugees fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong, including Leia Organa-Solo. He did, however, provide her with information on Ruan's acceptance for refugees. (JE) Taris this urban planet was located in the Outer Rim Territories. During the millennia before the Great Sith War, Taris' planetwide city was rivalled only by Coruscant itself in its beauty and grandeur. Over the centuries, though, much of the cityscape fell into disrepair and ruin. By the time of the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the cityscape was terrorized by swoop gangs and packs of rakghouls. Those natives with wealth and power escaped to the upper levels of the city, known as the Upper City, leaving the rest of the population to fester in the Lower City. In the fighting that occurred during the Sith War, Taris was eventually attacked and destroyed by the Sith. (SWI63, KOTOR, SWDB) Tarisian this was the name used by the human population which was native to the planet Taris.

Somehow, he managed to obtain a set of battle armor from the Sun Guards of Thyrsus, which he modified for his own usage. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Tark killed Narn Detan in the Geal System, and has been on the run from the New Republic ever since. (WBC) Tarkaline this creature, which was native to the planet Corellia, was similar in appearance to a blethyline, although it was of a different size and color. (MJH) Tarka-Null this being was one of the Old Republic's most admired artists. (E3N) Tarkazza this silverback Wookiee male was Katarra's father and bodyguard during the Imperial occupation of Kashyyyk. He was identifiable by his black fur, which was striped with silver. He once had to transport Han Solo in a quulaar sling, when Han first visited Kashyyyk and was unable to climb the wroshyr trees. (RD) Tarken this was the designation of a Nebulon-B2 frigate that was part of the Alliance's fleet. (TIE) Tarkenian Nightflower an alcoholic drink. (RD) Tarkil Hroka a former soldier, this hulking Gamorrean was one of the best pit-fighters found on the planet Jenenma. He spent much of his career in the city of Sahl-Evin, purposely spilling drinks on other beings in order to goad them into a fight. Tarkil simply enjoyed beating people up, and was not very good at anything else. He rarely lost a fight, and almost always beat his opponent to death in order to avoid a rematch. (WOA19) Tarkin this Imperial weapons project was developed in the Patriim System, in the wake of the destruction of the first Death Star during the Battle of Yavin. It combined the Death Star's offensive weaponry and ionic cannons with a new set of engines and defensive shield generators, reducing the number of support personnel needed operate the weapon. The designers also upgraded the ship's exhaust systems, eliminating the weakness of the Death Star. The Tarkin's main fuselage was based on the design of the Super-class Star Destroyer, but on a scale comparable to that of the Death Star. A team of Alliance agents, including Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, managed to infiltrate the superweapon and destroy a main power generator, as well as reversing the polarization of its fire control mechanism. When Colonel Nord tried to fire the ionic cannon on the fleeing Alliance agents, the Tarkin fired inward on itself and exploded, killing all aboard and tearing itself apart. (EGC, LTA3, MC51) Tarkin this Omwati word, derived from the name of Imperial Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, loosely translated into Basic as a combination of "butcher" and "demon".

Leia, in this position, helped smuggle the energy-giving moss off the planet. When Darth Vader himself came to Phelarion and confronted the Lady Tarkin about the smuggled moss, Leia realized that she had been using Lady Tarkin's own transponder to call the smugglers. She realized that she had to escape soon. Leia escaped from Lady Tarkin's service, and little is known of the fate of Lady Tarkin. (CSWEA, EGC) Tarkin, Ranulph a member of the Tarkin family of Eriadu, Ranulph Tarkin was a Senator who styled himself as a General in the Old Republic armed forces during the years just prior to the Stark Hyperspace War. He was known as the leader of the faction known as the Militarists, and he continually addressed the Senate in an effort to form a strong Army and Navy. When his requests for military backing were denied, General Tarkin formed his own Navy, culling officers and ships from the ranks of the Republic's meager forces which were loyal to him. He offered to take this fleet and smash the negotiations which were being held between the Republic and the Stark Commerical Combine, an offer which Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation could not refuse. Gunray told Tarkin that the negotiations were taking place on Troiken, and Tarkin set out in the flagship Invincible to destroy Iaco Stark. Unfortunately, Stark had anticipated the military action, and placed a navigational computer virus in the memory banks of Tarkin's entire fleet. Many ships were destroyed or lost, but the Invincible arrived at Troiken. Its supporting fleet was decimated, and Stark's forces picking the fleet apart. Tarkin, however, refused to admit defeat. While he ordered his crew to abandon ship, Tarkin fled to his personal shuttle with his aide, Jace Dallin. Tarkin ordered his forces to regroup on Troiken, but they were badly outnumbered again by Stark's mercenaries. Tarkin railed against then-Senator Finis Valorum and the Jedi Knights who came to their aid, and his own troops began to question his leadership. Tarkin tried to trap Stark on his own, but was killed when he accidentally set off the explosives he meant to use against Stark. (SHW) Tarkin, Rivoche this strikingly beautiful woman was the daughter of Brigadier Gideon Tarkin, and the niece of Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin. After the death of her father during the Erhynradd Massacre, she was offered a home at her uncle's estate. She was began to throw tantrums around her adopted parents, resentful of the fact that her father had been taken away from her. She was shipped off to a prep school on Claer, and began to hate her uncle and everything he stood for. After meeting Biggs Darklighter and learning of the Alliance, she began passing information to him in order to thwart Imperial operations. She continued to act as a deep-cover spy for the Alliance after the destruction of Alderaan, using her position as an Imperial socialite to gain access to secret information. She was caught on the planet Corulag and forced into an engagement to Vastin Caglio, shortly before the Battle of Hoth, but was eventually rescued by Cryle Cavv and Quillin Arkell. After the Battle of Endor and the downfall of the Empire, Rivoche became a member of the New Republic's historical branch. She reported on the fighting that occurred between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire on Coruscant. She was stationed on the Emancipator when it was disabled. (CRO, DESB, SWJ12) Tarkin, Wilhuff although his origins and his Imperial service records are sparse, Tarkin had a noticeable career with the Imperial Navy before proposing the infamous "Rule by Fear" doctrine to Emperor Palpatine. Tarkin was born some thirty years before the Battle of Naboo. Early in his career, Tarkin was the Lieutenant Governor of the planet Eriadu before becoming a Commander in the Republic Outland Regions Security Force, where he first exerted his power by coercing Raith Sienar into an attempt to take control of the planet Zonama Sekot. Despite the setbacks suffered there, Tarkin nevertheless manipulated events in his favor, and gained considerable status in the eyes of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He was elevated to the position of Governor during the height of the Clone Wars, serving Palpatine on Coruscant as the battle raged across the galaxy. His rise to power within the Imperial military was equally smooth; he was promoted from Captain to Moff for taking the initiative and commanding the Ghorman Massacre. It was during this time that he noticed the talents of Daala on Carida, and brought her along with him when he became Grand Moff of the Outer Rim Territories. The two became intimate confidantes, sharing their dreams for rulership along with their passion for each other, even though Tarkin had a wife back on Phelarion. Tarkin's innate evil and cunning was evident in his establishment of the Maw Installation, a secret laboratory dedicated to the creation of the superweapons which would make governing the Empire easier. When the Empire tried to enslave the Mon Calamari, Tarkin took centerstage in the attack. It was at this time that Tarkin obtained Ackbar as his personal slave. There are also rumors that Tarkin was given Ackbar as a slave by an opportunistic subordinate. Ackbar used this period to absorb all that he could about Imperial fleet strengths and weaknesses, and he also learned a great deal about Tarkin's personality. He also learned a great deal about the first Death Star in this way. When the Alliance tried to assassinate Tarkin, they were thwarted by Imperial ships, but managed to rescue Ackbar. Tarkin's major contribution to the Emperor's cause was the Death Star, which he used to rule the Outer Rim for a brief period. Palpatine assigned Tarkin to the Death Star, hoping to quell the various rebellions that occurred in the Outer Rim. However, Tarkin also had a hidden objective in creating the Death Star. Once the battle station was operational, he'd hoped to use it against Palpatine, in an attempt to take control of the galaxy for himself. Palpatine foresaw some of Tarkin's motives, and assigned Wullf Yularen as Tarkin's assistant. Tarkin's personal ambitions and self-confidence got the best of his, though, during the Battle of Yavin. Tarkin refused to evacuate the station, even with the knowledge that the Alliance had found a flaw to exploit. Tarkin Tarkin was killed when the Death Star was destroyed even as he gave the command to fire on the Massassi base. The Empire released an official death notice for Tarkin, but it claimed that he died in a shuttle crash at the Tallaan Shipyards. Tarkin was portrayed by Peter Cushing in Star Wars: A New Hope, by Wayne Pygram in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, and by Keene Curtis for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, MTS, XW, JS, DA, DS, CCG, EGC, RP, DMS, AOTC, BF6, OWS) Tarkin-12 a port tower located on Byss, the Hyperspace Roamer was ordered to land there, at bay 327. (DE2) Tarkin's Fang this was the name of a secret Imperial base, hidden in the Deep Core near Treskov-115W. Tarkin's Fang was located on a planet that was at the end of several hyperspace travel routes, but all routes to the base were dead-ends. The Tarkin's Fang base was located a few light-minutes from the Treskov System and the mines on Ebaq 9. (DW) Tarkin's Shears this form of swoopchasing obstacle was outlawed by the sanctioned racing authority, but nevertheless was popular on non-regulated courses. Based on the Luzitall water obstacle, Tarkin's Shears employed transparisteel pikes imbedded in the outgoing walls of certain hairpin turns. The transparent spikes impaled those racers who came too close to the walls of the ravine while negotiating the turn. (BSS) Tarkin's Teeth this Imperial phrase was used after the fall of Willhuf Tarkin, and indicates surprise when sworn. (VOF) Tarkin's Teeth this jagged mountain range was located on the planet Carida, and was one of the many locations used by the Imperial Academy to train stormtroopers. Named for Moff Tarkin, the mountains were arid points of land situated about 300 kilometers from the Academy campus. They had been used for wargames for a few hundred years, and were the proving grounds for the MT-ST walker. (PH) Tarkona this was one of the more powerful Twi'leki clans. The name meant "stormy weather" in the Twi'leki language. (TEP, GCG) Tarkosa this elderly man was one of the Councilors who worked on the Managing Council of the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Tarkosa was also one of the few remaining Survivors, having been an original member of the Outbound Flight team. Like many others among the Survivors, Tarkosa was angry at the Jedi Knights for not providing better protection against their attackers. When a Chiss-led expedition located the remains of Outbound Flight, Tarkosa called for the slow execution of every being assocaited with the original attack. His vengeance went unfufilled, as most of the Chiss who took part in the attack had since died. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, Tarkosa grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ) Tarl this Imperial Sergeant was assigned to the garrison on the forest moon of Endor, protecting the shield generator installation. (CCG10) Tarl this Imperial stormtrooper was assigned to the detachment led by Lieutenant Stalgis, which accompanied Luke Skywalker to Munlali Mafir during his search for information on the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. When their party was attacked by mutated Krizlaws, Tarl was caught and forced to ingest a Jostran individual. The Jostran began to fuse itself to Tarl's spine and nervous system, and would have overtaken him if Luke and his nephew, Jacen Solo, hadn't used the Force to keep the creature at bay. They took Tarl back to Tekli's medical facilities aboard the Widowmaker, where the Chadra-Fan was able to extricate the Jostran and save his life. (FH2) Tarl this young boy was one of three children Yander had with his first wife, on the planet Ord Cestus. The children grew up for many years without a mother, until Yander married Sheeka Tull. After Yander's death, the children continued living with Sheeka, although they stayed with aunts and uncles whenever Sheeka had to work. (TCD) Tarlen, Bentu Pall the head of the Imperial Center Construction Contracts Division, Bantu was also on Prince Xizor's payroll. He kept Xizor abreast of the current bids on construction projects. This allowed Xizor's legitimate construction business to underbid and win the contracts. (SE, SESB) Tarlo Ganar this noted Khil tactician and warrior distinguished himself as a member of the Belnar Sector Force, during their defeat of the Peltsic League's forces. However, rather than face mandatory retirement at the end of his military career, Tarlo Ganar set out on his own and eventually joined the m'Yalfor'ac Order. He had been long a friend of Quaal Tavier Catharius, who recognized his skills and took him on as an advisor, despite the consternation of other Bitthaevrians. (AIR) Tarlok, Kilon this odd fellow managed the Terman Station outpost, between Sriluur and Sespe along the Sisar Run, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He had been in control of the station well before the Nalroni crimelord Spraz showed up and usurped the station. Tarlok believed that Sprax gave him complete control of the station, as long as the credits ended up in Sprax's coffers. In reality, Sprax planned to remove Tarlok at his earliest convenience. (SSR) Tarm this man, a native of the planet Jomark, was a villager who got involved in a dispute with Svan, some five years after the Battle of Endor. The dispute was mediated by Joruus C'baoth, with the help of Luke Skywalker, who had just arrived on the planet. (DFR) Tarmul this plant, native to the planet Qiilura, was used in the planting of ornamental hedges. (RCHC) Tarn, Eremin this Jedi Knight, the second Padawan trained by Maks Leem, was one of the many who left the Jedi Order at the onset of the Clone Wars. Eremin believed that Jeisel and her band were correct about the Jedi Order, and Eremin's strong principles led him to abandon the Order to seek out the true path. (YDR) Tarn, Rhad this young man was one of the many Jedi Knights who felt that the Jedi Order was becoming too militaristic during the early years of the Clone Wars. He left the Order to follow his teacher, Sora Bulq, to Ruul in protest of the Jedi's participation in the war. Rhad was a hot-tempered youth who openly declared that the Jedi should have joined the Separatists, since the Old Republic had become too corrupt and self-centered. When Asajj Ventress killed Mira, and said that she had been hired by Mace Windu himself to destroy Master Bulq, Rhad immediately demanded that Windu be held accountable for her death. He set out to capture both Windu and Ventress, but was intercepted by Ventress near her ship. In a brief lightsaber duel, Ventress nearly succeeded in drawing Rhad over to the Dark Side of the Force. His determination to prove himself flared into anger at the Jedi Order for holding him back, and he openly opposed the efforts of Jeisel and K'kruhk to return him to their cause. In a heated lightsaber battle, Tarn nearly killed Jeisel, but she managed to get her own lightsaber between them as he charged. Tarn was killed instantly. (OWS, J1) Tarn, Rhad this student of the Force was among the many young children who were being trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when the Battle of Naboo occurred. Unfortunately, Rhad died shortly afterward. (YDR) Tarn, Wexlann known as a gentleman among bounty hunters, Tarn was the child of a wealthy family. He loved fine art, and used his position as a bounty hunter as a way to gather expensive artworks for his own collection. The fees he collects all go toward the purchase of new pieces. (GG10) Tarnab this humanoid alien race was characterized by its triangular skull. At the lower point was the tapir-like snout; at the temples were four short horns. The mysterious blue eyes of the Tarnab people gave them a fearsome appearance, and their scraggly hair only added to the apparent danger. (OWS) Tarnese Bleyd this male Sakiyan served the Old Republic as an Admiral during the Clone Wars, commanding a MedStar ship that supplied the various Rimsoo units of the planet Drongar. It was in this position that Bleyd encountered Filba the Hutt, and the pair quickly began forming plans to make a profit from the sale of processed bota. Bleyd himself was skilled hunter of rare skill who was motivated more by a need to avenge his family name than by any true loyalty to the Republic. He believed that he deserved a much better posting that Drongar, and would have preferred somewhere at the heart of the fighting, where he could have used his innate skills to obtain a much higher-visibility position. The criminal aspect of his demeanor was not unusual, given that his father, Tarnese Lyanne, had become involved with Shiltu the Hutt. It was Shiltu's double-crossing that led to Clan Tarnese's downfall, ultimately forcing Bleyd to enlist with the Republic military in order to make ends meet. When, in Bleyd's opinion, the Republic failed to recognize his talents, he decided to make himself rich at the Republic's expense. He and Filba secretly made contact with the Black Sun organization, and arranged for a series of regular, though small, shipments of bota to be made available for sale. Filba's plans to freeze the processed bota in carbonite allowed them to ship the bota across the galaxy, making it more profitable for all. Bleyd, however, wasn't satisfied with the cut he was getting from Black Sun, and planned to set out on his own. These plans were thwarted, however, after Filba became equally as greedy, and tried to force Black Sun to pay a higher price for the bota. Bleyd confronted Filba shortly after the Hutt was poisoned by Kaird, and Filba died in his grasp. Black Sun sent an agent to investigate, and Bleyd promptly murdered him rather than giving in to their demands. This forced Kaird into action, and the Nediji confronted Bleyd about his actions. Bleyd, ever the hunter, accepted Kaird's challenge, and the two squared off in a knife duel. The duel appeared to be a stalemate until Kaird threw his knife at Bleyd. Bleyd deflected the knife with his arm, laughing at the Nediji's apparent foolishness. Unknown to Bleyd, however, was that the knife had been coated with dendriton toxin, which entered his system through the wound. Within minutes, Bleyd would have died from the toxin, although Kaird spared him any agony by cutting his throat before the toxin took effect. (MBS) Tarnese Lyanne this male Sakiyan, the father of Tarnese Bleyd, had made several hefty investments in black market and smuggling operations during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. However, he was double-crossed by Shiltu the Hutt, and he lost everything the Tarnese clan had owned. Clan Tarnese was disgraced, and Tarnese Lyanne's children were forced to look for work away from Sakiya. (MBS) Tarnese! this was the blood cry of Clan Tarnese. Both e's in the word have long vowel sounds. (MBS) Tarnished Blades this pirate gang was formed from the survivors of the Silent Blades group, which was routed by Vocis Kenit and the Far Orbit before its crew mutinied. They were led by Shel Marcino, who decided to help the Far Orbit out, especially if it meant getting a chance to strike back at Vocis Kenit. (FOP) Tarnooga this water-covered planet was the primary world of the Tarnooga System. The pirate base of Gir Kybo Ren-Cha was located on this planet, during the early years of the New Order. (DCAR) Tarnooga System this system was the base of operations for Gir Kybo Ren-Cha's pirate band. (DCAR) Tarok Detention Center this Imperial prison facility was located on the planet Bacrana. (FBS) Taron Von this Skakoan individual was noted in the histories of the planet Skako. (UANT) Tarong an avian race evolved from the continual cross-breeding of two avian species once native to the Epidimi System. When the Old Republic discovered the system, they found the two species - living on the planets Iri and Disim - were genetically similar, and members from both were transported to the other planet. This simple experiment, over the millenia, has led the to extinction of the two original species and the 'birth' of the Tarong race. The average Tarong is a massive, winged quadriped, with a wingspan averaging around twenty meters. They have tough, leathery skin and long, hooked beaks. Young Tarongs are lighter in color than their older counterparts. Their front feet are almost as useful as hands, and are used to manipulate objects. Their rear feet are incredibly strong, and used for climbing and grasping. They are highly intelligent, and can master languages quickly. They are also very curious and friendly, wanting to learn everything about the beings they meet and considering them friends until they do something to harm the Tarong or its family. If the stranger acts violently, the Tarong will often capture them and carry them off to some remote location to die of exposure. Tarongs do not like physical violence, and will only hunt and kill for food. They live in tribes based on family relations, with the oldest member of the family in control of the tribe. They have a primitive technology of their own, but are extremely curious about the strange devices they found used by the rest of the galaxy. The more a device sparkles or blinks, the more attractive it is to a Tarong. (GG12) Taroon this young Rutanian boy was King Frane's second son, being just a year younger than his brother Leed. While Leed was away on Senali, Taroon was virtually ignored by his father, who failed to see that Taroon was growing into manhood with many of his father's traits. Chief among those traits was a short temper, and Taroon came to resent his father. When Frane called in Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to mediate the dispute over Leed, Taroon was allowed to accompany the Jedi to Senali. In a bold move to gain his father's attention, Taroon arranged to have Leed kidnapped, using Rutanian friends who were disguised as Senali to capture his brother. Taroon hoped to have Leed removed as heir-presumptive and take his place as the future king of Rutan. However, Taroon's plans were discovered by the Jedi, who arranged a meeting with King Frane to sort the matter out. Once Frane realized that Leed had made his own decisions, and that Taroon was more than just a "second son," he softened his position. When Leed decided to remain on Rutan to assume his rightful position as heir, Taroon again became angry, and tried to sabotage his father's hunting dogs and frame Leed for the act. When he learned that Drenna had remained on Rutan and was part of the hunting party, Taroon helped the two Jedi destroy the sabotaged seeker droids and restore peace. King Frane was forced to agree that Taroon would make a better leader than Leed, and agreed to allow Leed to return to Senali, while helping Taroon learn everything about rulership on Rutan. Frane even suggested that Taroon consider Drenna for his Queen, after seeing the girl's tenacity and strength. (SP) Taroon System a planetary system, containing Kuan and Bordal, that was invaded and usurped by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) Tarpals this was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. To the Gungans, it meant "fast-moving river". (GCG) Tarpaulin Plant native to the planet Altor 14, these plants collect water by unique means. During the hot day, they appear to be large balls of green cloth. As needed, a number of broad leaves can be spread out to collect sunlight for photosynthesis. At night, the main ball of the planet unfolds to cover up to 1,000 square meters of ground. The plant simply allows moisture to condense on its leaves, funnelling it back to the center of the planet for storage. (GG4) Tarpoon this heavy, long-shafted spear was a tradition Whiphid weapon. The tarpoon was tipped with a wicked, three-tined blade, and was attached to a length of syntherope. It could be thrown at a target, and the wielder could then retrieve their prey by haulig back on the rope. Many Whiphids have been dragged around by their preyfor several minutes before it tired, in an event which became known as "riding the prey." (SPG) Tarquin Zian this Twi'leki male was a moderately successful smuggler during the height of the New Order. He made a brief living by trading arms to the small rebel cell on Kallistas in exchange for gemstones, which he then marketed to the highest bidder. The deal was brokered between Imperial Prefect Denglass Rinn and the Mantis Bounty Hunter Syndicate. After the capture of Pallas Quintell, Rinn employed Tarquin in the hunt for Jondrell Inx. (GG10) Tarquinas this Lambda-class shuttle was believed to have been assigned to the first Death Star's contingent of starships. (IANH) Tarrack an alien race. (SOL) Tarracus, Bonic a native of Coruscant, Tarracus was old enough to witness the downfall of the Old Republic and the rise of the New Order. Bonic joined the Alliance as an undercover agent, and he was known for his ability to disguise himself as virtually any other person. He used this skill to infiltrate several Imperial events on various Core Worlds, gathering information to return to the Alliance. However, he remained anonymous to much of the Alliance he supported, acting only as the agent codenamed Corewatch. (CRO) Tarrek this was a Velabri god. (SWJ12) Tarrek this Doctor served the Alliance as the chief medic at Eyrie Base, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ10) Tarrek's Eyes this expletive was used by the Velabri, in situations of extreme amazement, and referred to the eyes of the god Tarrek. (SWJ12) Tarrens, Drigor this man was once a member of the Qektoth Confederation, but disagreed with the way the group's motives were twisted from research to domination. He fled the confederation and received asylum on Uukaablis. Born on a colony near near the Kathol Rift, he remained silent about his defection from the confederation. Drigor is distinguished by the cybernetic replacement in his left eye, the cause of which is related to his history with the Confederation. About ten years before the FarStar found him on Uukaablis, he had learned that the Confederation was growing clones of its employees with enhanced abilities. Much of this work was shrouded in heavy security, and was performed without the knowledge of the employees. When Tarrens tried to tell the other members of this, his Y-Wing was destroyed. His body was recovered and repaired by the scientists involved, and Tarrens was sentenced to death by the Confederation's leadership. It was then that he fled to Uukaablis. The silvery eye stared straight ahead, no matter what direction Tarrens was looking. Tarrens agreed to help the crew of the FarStar expose the Confederation and obtain the cure for the biological weapon that had been contracted by much of its crew, shortly after realizing that he himself was infected. (KO) Tarrese this harsh language was the native tongue of the Tarro race. It was similar to Basic in many respects, but had a wider range of vocalizations and a larger alphabet. (UANT) Tarrick one of Leia Organa-Solo's presidential aides, during her tenure as Chief of State of the New Republic. (SOL) Tarrik one of Bail Organa's advisors on Alderaan. (SWR) Tarrik this man served the New Republic as a Captain in the Navy, and was the commanding officer of Nomad Squadron during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (GMR9) Tarrin a fighter in Rogue Squadron when Luke was its commander. (ESBR) Tarris 800 Cables this line of mini-cables can be used in place of a hardware scomp link. Tarris 800 cables can be used to modify a blaster to fire twice with each pull of the trigger. By connecting the cable between the V-4 plug and the trigger adaptor, a feedback loop can be created to send two pulses to the apas connectors, thereby opening the Heter valve twice. (CFG) Tarro this alien race originated in the Til system, on the planet Tililix. When the Til star exploded, the planet Tililix was destroyed. Only those Tarro off-planet at the time survived. An estimated 350 Tarro exist in the galaxy, all of them descendants of the Tarro who had survived the destruction of Tililix. The Tarro are a humanoid race characterized by their dark green skin and piercing yellow eyes. They have seven fingers on each hand, and are heavily muscled. They are formidable fighters and weapons-masters, and are known for their stubborn, independent natures. Little is known of their history and culture, given the cataclysmic reduction of their species. (GG12) Tarrvin-on-Kallik this Adumari corporation designed and manufactured the Blade-28 and Blade-32 atmospheric superiority fighter craft. (SOA) Tarrz this t'landa Til was the Head Sacredot of the Ylesian Colony Nine. When the Rodian mercenary Sniquux infiltrated the colony, he laid a trap of monofilament fibers and then stampeded the t'landa Til with a recording of the call of a thota. Tarrz, foremost among the t'landa Til there, ran straight into the trap and was quickly beheaded. (RD) Tarsunt System the planetary system which was a stopover point for Jabba the Hutt when he moved to Tatooine. It was also where Grizzid obtained the rancor from Grendu. (MTS, TJP) Tarturi, Berm this man was Andara's Senator to the Old Republic, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Senator Tarturi struggled to maintain his position as the Andaran System's Senator, facing increasingly stronger opposition from Rana Halion and the populace of Ieria. He even made an enemy in Sano Sauro, when they argued vehemently for the rights to certain profitable trade routes. It was during this time that he spent more and more time on Coruscant, leaving his son Gillam to an education at the Leadership School. When Gillam disappeared, Senator Tarturi feared that he had been kidnapped as part of a plan to force Tarturi to recognize Ieria's independence. Senator Tarturi requested the assistance of the Jedi Knights in locating his son. (JQ5) Tarturi, Gillam this young man was the son of Senator Berm Tarturi of Andara, and attended the Leadership School on Andara during the years following the Battle of Naboo. An only child, Gillam found himself alone after the death of his mother when he was twelve. With his father being called to Coruscant on politics, Gillam's only family was at the Leadership School. Five years after the Battle of Naboo, the sixteen-year-old Gillam suddenly disappeared from the school, prompting his father to request an investigation by the Jedi Knights. Obi-Wan Kenobi was appointed to lead the mission, and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker was enrolled in the Leadership School to locate Gillam's friends. Anakin discovered that Gillam was actually the leader of a small band of students who were working as mercenaries in neighboring systems, causing public unrest and forcing "oppressive" leaders to abdicate their rule. It was Gillam who formed the team and recruited its members, although Rolai Frac assumed the role of leader after Gillam's "kidnapping." When Rana Halion employed the young mercenaries to strafe an Andaran military landing platform, as part of a plan to force Berm Tarturi to negotiate, Gillam gladly accepted. Unknown to Halion, however, Gillam planned to use live fire in the mission, as way to have himself "killed." He planned to ensure that Anakin Skywalker was killed in the mission, damaging the body enough so that it could pass as Gillam. Gillam then put plans in place to pin the blame for his kidnapping and death on his own father, Berm Tarturi, to ensure that Berm was discredited and stripped of any power he held. When the plans were exposed by the Jedi Knights, Gillam and his entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning. (JQ5) Taru this Nagai warrior was one of many who trained under Lumiya on the planet Kinooine, during the months following the Battle of Endor. (MC96) Tarul Wine this was a popular wine that was vinted on the planet Naboo, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RCHC) Tas Kee this female Weequay enforcer was hired by Hat Lo to protect his interests on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was adept at concealing weaponry on her body, avoiding the scanners and sensors to ensure Hat Lo was protected wherever he went. One of her best assets was her ability to blend into a crowd, which allowed her to move among the Outlander Club's patrons without arousing suspicion. (SWDB, SWI75) Ta's Roost this cantina was owned by the Sullustan Sevron Ta, and was located in the city of Gallisport, on Shesharile 5. Sevron Ta made sure that there was always a table ready for the Rabid Mynocks, who were the cantina's unofficial protectors. (SWJ6) Tas Sea this was one of the many bodies of salt water found on the planet Ralltiir. It was in the middle of the Tas Sea, atop a rocky outcropping, that Alexi Garyn established his base of operations. (CCW) Tasar Crystals these colorful stones held religious meaning to the ancient Tasari people. These beautiful stones were formed in the cataclysmic meteor shower that nearly destroyed the planet Tasariq, and refined in the volcanic upheaval that continued for many decades. Ritual blood sacrifices were made to the crystals, in the hopes of unlocking their mystical potential. The Tasari also believed that these sacrifices would appease the dark gods who rained meteors down on the planet Tasariq, causing massive destruction and relegating the Tasari to a primitive existence. Modern Tasari have abandoned the practice of ritual sacrifice, but pockets of believers still exist in the power of the crystals. Tasar crystals are found in a variety of colors and patterns, and all are believed to have some form of magical or healing powers. They were valued throughout the galaxy, and many Tasari families sold their crystals in order to survive. (AE, SWJ15) Tasari this species of hairless humanoids was native to the planet Tasariq. Their faces are bird-like in structure, with a beak-like nose and feathery crests on the back of their skulls. They can live to be 120 years of age, and were known to be inquisitive and minded. Many centuries ago, the Tasari had a flourishing society, until a meteor shower rained down from the skies and destroyed much of the planet's surface. The Tasari were forced to revert to a primitive existence, finding shelter in the craters formed by the meteor impacts, and many blood cults rose from the ashes. These cults enacted blood sacrifices to tasar crystals in order to appease the dark gods who destroyed the planet. Over the next several hundred years, these cults died out, but pockets of believers still exist. In general, Tasari were friendly and outgoing, with a curiosity and openmindedness that allowed them to accept their place in the galaxy and explore beyond their borders. During the New Order, the Tasari had developed an industrial society, but could use more modern technology with relative ease. (AE, SWJ15) Tasari Crossbow his simple missile weapon was favored by the blood cults of the Tasari. Each of these crossbows was hand-built at the time when a yougn Tasari earned the right to become an adult. (SWJ15) Tasariq this planet was the second planet in the Tasar System, and the homeworld of the Tasari race. Once a temperate world, Tasariq was bombarded many centuries before the Battle of Yavin by a meteor shower. The planet was pummeled, and much of its surface was destroyed. The resulting destruction of the surface created a large amount of chemicals in the atmosphere, rendering it barely breathable. Craters and gouges now dominate its landscape, but it was within these craters that breathable air was trapped, allowing the Tasari to build cities within the craters and survive the holocaust. In the midst of the destruction brought on by the meteors, the heat and volcanic activity combined to form Tasar Crystals out of the materials of the planet's crust. By the era of the Empire, Tasariq became known as the Planet of Crystal. (AE, SWJ15) Tasariq City this was the largest settlement on the planet Tasariq. It was established by the Empire, when the planet was first explored. Its layout was in the form of concentric circles, with Circle Park in the center. The Park was surrounded by the Shopper's Round, the governmental and administrative circle, then the living circle. (AE, SWJ15) Tasariq Rangers originally formed by Imperial Governor Dem Keval, this was a mercenary police force used to maintain control of the Tasar System during the Galactic Civil War.

She was appalled at the living conditions she found, and remained on the planet as something of a leader to the Oldtimers. She kept order in Hweg Shul some 200 years before Callista arrived. When the Hutt Beldorion came to Nam Chorios, Taselda recognized his failures with the Force, and tried to keep him from gaining power. However, the Hutt prevailed, and in the battle her lightsaber was lost. She sustained numerous injuries in the fight, and found herself unable to create another lightsaber. When Callista arrived on the planet, Taselda used her desire to regain the Force as a fulcrum, and manipulated Callista.

(SWN) Tatoo III this space station was erected in orbit near Tatooine, just after the colonization of the planet. It was built by the settlers of Tatooine, from metals and ores they were able eke out of the desert. It was destroyed shortly after completion when the Obvious Nrivana suddenly rushed at the station during docking and collided with it. An investigation was launched, and it was discovered that the native Tatooinian metals used to construct the station had unusual magnetic properties. Thus, when the Obvious Nirvana approached it, Tatoo III suddenly became a huge magnet. This change in polarity drew the Obvious Nirvana into the station. This one setback marked the beginning of the hardest years Tatooine had ever seen. (GG7) Tatooine the primary planet in the Tatoo system, this desert world was located in the Arkanis Sector of the Outer Rim Territories near Piroket and Ryloth, some 43,000 light-years from the galactic core. It was close enough to a major hyperspace nexus to make it easy to get to such worlds as Coruscant and Corellia, but its environment made it one of the most inhosptiable places in the galaxy. The planet's twin suns mercilessly heat the planet, keeping the sodium-rich deserts alive, and a trio of moons encircles the planet. Note that several sources are unsure exactly how many moons Tatooine has. Some say that the planet has a single, natural satellite, while others indicate two or more. Originally discovered more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, Tatooine was colonized in two distinct waves. Much of the original colonization was unable to survive the harsh environment, and only the city of Anchorhead survived until the modern era. About 1,000 years before the rise of the Empire, the Old Republic declared the planet "nominally habitable," but it was nearly 900 years later that the planet was settled again. These modern settlers arrived to colonize this first world in what was then called the J11.9 system. They coined the name Tatooine from the Jawa name for the planet, Tah doo Een e. The settlers established strongholds on the planet, and many smugglers and criminals have set up operational bases in its wastelands. Corellia Engineering even tried to establish mining operations on the planet, but it proved to be unusually lacking in valuable ores. The settlers there are primarily moisture farmers, extracting what little water they can from the atmosphere for survival. Its location on the galactic fringes makes it a perfect base for smugglers, mercenaries, and bounty hunters. The planet, despite its hostile ecology, supports human life was well as the native races of Jawas, krayt dragons, and Tusken Raiders. The planet's remote location appealed to Owen Lars and his wife Beru, and they lived there with Luke Skywalker for many years. Tatooine's average day lasts 23 standard hours, and its year consumes 304 local days. Note that the Star Wars Journal: Anakin Skywalker claims Tatooine is located not only near several hyperspace routes, but also near other galaxies. (SW, SCRE, GG7, TME, ISU, IG1, JAS, IWE1, RESB, SWI62, SOT) Tatooine this New Republic Mon Calamari cruiser was part of the fleet sent to blockade Almania.

Whenever prey could not be found, the howler could dig up a preserved capture to sustain itself. Howlers were solitary creatures that were very rare, and many beings believed them to be nothing more than rumor or legend.

(YDR) Tauber Neuro-Saav maintained a research and development facility on this Jaso Sector planet, during the New Order. (AIR) Taug Molou this Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was plced in charge of the program which used Rodians as slaves.

(GMR8) Taug, Brevis this man was arrested by Imperial Intelligence officers, after it was learned that he had been bankrolling several operations of the Thanda clan of Zygerian slavers, during the early years of the New Order. In exchange for a reduced sentence, Taug provided information about how he funneled credits into the Thanda's accounts. The Imperials managed to keep Taug's operations going until they also captured Atlee Thanda, effectively smashing one branch of the Zygerian Slavers Guild. (WOA26) Tauk, Lemmet one of the Empire's most skilled and loyal soldiers, Tauk was among the top four members of the training facility on Yinchorr, in the same class as Carnor Jax and Kir Kanos.

At the completion of their training, Emperor Palpatine ordered Tauk and Kanos to battle each other to the death, in an effort to prove their loyalty. Both hesitated before Darth Vader forced them into the battle, which Kanos eventually won by running Tauk through with his sword. Kanos mourned for his friend, and earned a scar from the blade of Vader's lightsaber for his emotions. (CE) Taul this swampy world, located in the Gunthar System, was the site of an Alliance training post that was destroyed by the Star Destroyer Dominator. (SWJ1) Taulk, Ebor this Jedi padawan and his teacher, Naeshahn, were dispatched by Mace Windu to the planet Yinchorr, to investigate the aggressive actions of the Yinchorri.

(AOW) Taun this young man was a member of The Young, and served as the leader of the group charged with restoring the utilities of the city of Zehava following The Young's defeat of the elders of the Daan and Melida. (UP) Taun We this Kaminoan female was Project Coordinator working at the cloning factory in Tipoca City, on Kamino, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was also one of Prime Minister Lama Su's chief advisors. Among her duties, Taun We served as the Kaminoans' liaison to Jango Fett, the source of their clones. While most of the Kaminoans working on the clone army project regarded the clones as specimens or simply "output," Taun We felt some level of emotional attachment to the younger clones. Taun We had enough understanding of human emotion to provide the clone troopers with mental stability, despite their rapid growth acceleration and genetic manipulation. However, she was naïve in her relationship with offworlders, and readily agreed to introduce Obi-Wan Kenobi to Jango Fett. Although Kamino was devastated during the Clone Wars, Taun We survived, along with some portion of the genetic material harvested from Jango Fett. Shortly afterward, Taun We and Ko Sai revealed that it was Darth Tyranus - no Master Sifo-Dyas - who paid for the clones.When Boba Fett learned of this, he contracted Taun We to help grow replacement body parts for him, in order to keep his body whole despite the rigors of bounty hunting. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Taun We requested that Boba Fett go on one more hunt: to locate and destroy Fenn Shysa, the only surviving member of the attacks on Kamino. Although Fett was surprised to learn of Shysa's ties to the Mandalorians, he carried out Taun We's mission anyway. Taun We was voiced by Rena Owen in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. (OWS, AOTCN, VD2, SWDB, SWI80, LEV) Taung this ancient race controlled the planet Coruscant for many millennia, prior to the dawn of modern humans.

(HNN4) Tauntaun a cold-weather creature suitable for use as transportation, thereptomammals resembled a fur-covered iguana which runs on its hind legs and has curved, ram-like horns. Native to the planet Hoth, these creatures are often found in large herds, racing across the snowy plains on their large, three-toed feet. The four nostrils on the tauntaun's nose were uniquely chambered, warming each breath before it entered the lungs. They have strong, rough lips that allow them to scrape lichens and moss off exposed rocks for food. This is not their only source of food, for they have also been seen eating carrion and small rodents. They also have a unique elimination system, exuding oils and waste products through pores in their skin. This causes the tauntaun to eminate a distictive odor. They seek nocturnal shelter in caves and ice grottoes, since they cannot survive the harsh nighttime temperatures. The internal organs of the tauntaun were all packed tightly inside their skeletons behind layers of fat, thereby protected from the cold. They were used by the Alliance as mounts during their stay at Echo Base. To pass the time, Alliance soldiers often staged tauntaun rodeos, putting their mounts through various stunts and exercises while trying to create a comradery with the uncooperative beasts. The tauntaun has a unique, cold-resistant blood which allows it to survive on the Hoth tundra. There were at least fifteen species of tauntaun on Hoth, each having a distinct mix of reptilian and mammalian characteristics. The tauntaun, being one of the two primary creatures native to Hoth, is the favored source of food for the other, the Wampa ice creature. Female tauntauns gave birth to live young, and fed them with a form of milk they regurgitated from their stomachs. Males could also regurgitate this milk, since they used it to spit when annoyed or angered. (ESB, ISU, EGA, WSW) Tauntaun Feathers A1 this as the codename of the datafile created by Jedi Master Kyle Katarn, during his mission to investigate a disturbance in the Force on Hoth, several years after the Battle of Endor.

Fey'lya had employed Breil'lya to be his emissary to Garm Bel Iblis' group of freedom fighters, but Breil'lya was tracked to one of their meetings by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, who eventually persuaded Bel Iblis to rejoin the Republic. Breil'lya was a native of Kothlis, and wore his family's ornate crest on a chain around his neck.

She had taken one apprentice, the Twi'lek Alora, before capturing Rosh Penin and converting him to the Dark Side of the Force. Although Alora was killed in combat by Jaden Korr on Taspir III, Tavion continued to move toward her ultimate goal. When she was finally ready, after acquiring a great deal of Force energy to power the Scepter of Ragnos, she traveled to Korriban to complete her mission. On the remote world, she was confronted by Jaden Korr, and challenged the young Jedi Knight to a duel. She managed to transfer the power that was stored in the Scepter to the tomb of Marka Ragnos, and the spirit rose from the dead to take control of her body. Despite the additional power she gained from being on the planet, and the power she gained from Ragnos's spirit, Tavion was defeated in combat. In order to defeat Ragnos as well, Jaden had to kill Tavion, which drove Ragnos out of her body and left him vulnerable. (JK2, JKA) Tavira this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG) Tavira, Leonia this small woman had a very severe demeanor. She was married to Tharil Tavira, and her strong will allowed her to quickly fill his position when he passed away. There are some who believe she had him killed, in order to obtain the title of Moff. Still others believe she killed Tharil's first wife in order to marry him. Following Tharil's death, Tavira cultivated a relationship with Harran Estillo, hoping to use him as a way to gain control of the Priamsta and the People's Liberation Battalion. Their plans were foiled when it was revealed that Plourr was the true heir to the throne of Eiattu, and she returned to take control. Leonia fled with the Star Destroyer Invidious, and gathered the support of a pirate named Kavil. Tavira maintained her contacts on Eiattu. When Leia Organa traveled to Eiattu for a diplomatic mission, Tavira obtained information on her location from Baron Laabann, and had Leia kidnapped along with Tycho Celchu. Tavira believed that the New Republic would gladly pay for Leia's freedom, but she was unaware that her agent had actually captured Winter instead of Leia. After a brief stint with Kavil's Corsairs, and with help from Sate Pestage in escaping from Axxila, Tavira started her own pirate organization. She offered Pestage to Ysanne Isard, but Isard arranged to have Pestage stolen from Ciutric before Tavira could recover her reward. She provided the military support with the Invidious, but never actually did any pirating. Once the target was neutralized, she disappeared to her lair and started planning her next move. She collected fifty percent of all the loot stolen by the pirates, which helped fund her operations. She was the target of Rogue Squadron and the New Republic, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine's clone on Byss. Leonia was operating from a base on Suarbi 7/5, a moon known for the Jensaarai sect of Jedi. There, she killed the moon's Imperial governor, claimed to have removed the natives from Imperial control. She alo used her persuasive skills to coerce the Jensaarai and their leader, the Saarai-kaar into believing that they must kidnap Mirax Terrik in order to draw a being known as the Halcyon - Corran Horn, a member of Rogue Squadron - into a trap. She made them believe that killing the Halcyon would eliminate a dire threat to their homeworld anf their families. She continued to make her raids, destroying the Harmzuay and gaining more control over the Jensaarai. However, Corran's infiltration into the Khuiumin Survivors led to her downfall, as he used the persona of an "avenging Jedi" to break up the Invids stationed on Courkrus. Tavira became increasing unable to handle the situation when Corran and Luke Skywalker broke into her fortress on Suarbi 7/5 and rescued Mirax. She tried to wipe out all of Suarbi 7/5 in order to kill them, but her small fleet was attacked by the Backstab and the Errant Venture. Corran also used the Force to project a much larger fleet of ships arrayed against her, and Tavira fled into hyperspace. (XWWP, IJ, HXW, XWM, XWMR) Tavira, Tharil this Imperial Grand Moff was dispatched to take control of Eiattu just before Uthorrferrel Cartha was unseated by the Priamsta. Although it was never proven, it was believed that his ambitious young wife, Leonia, killed him in order to obtain his position as Grand Moff.

This made him an invaluable employee of Prince Xizor and Black Sun. As the Master Chef at the Manarai Restaurant on Coruscant, he took pride in this description because the best chef was part of Emperor Palpatine's personal staff. (SESB) Tavya-class Armored Picket this Hoersch-Kessel patrol ship was developed for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Its mission profile was to use in scouting hyperspace exit points for military and diplomatic convoys, dropping out of hyperspace long enough to scan the location for Separatist ships.

(TT) TC-11 this Trade Federation protocol droid accompanied Gode Takrab to the surface of Naboo, during the Federation's invasion of the Naboo System. Takrab stored a set of forged documents in the memory cells of TC-11, documents which would have appeared to have been Queen Amidala's agreement to the Federation's invasion. Unfortunately, Gode Takrab and TC-11 were captured by the Naboo Underground and held prisoner until the completion of the Battle of Naboo. (SON) TC-14 this silver protocol droid served Nute Gunray and the Neimoidians during their blockade of the planet Naboo. Frequent memory wipes kept the droid strongly loyal to the Trade Federation.

In addition to the Viceroy's mechno-chair, the Jedi also discovered TC-16. The droid was removed from Cato Neimoidia and debriefed on Coruscant, before being turned over to the two Jedi as a liaison during their search for Gunray. It was TC-16 who helped them gain access to Workshop Xcan on Charros IV, where TC-16 was briefly taken aside to be realigned and polished while the Jedi talked to t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak. In the wake of the experiences on Charros IV, TC-16 was sent to Coruscant for debriefing, before it was assigned to Aurek Team during the search for Darth Sidious.

Where Rekkon proferred to act quietly and within the system, Tchaka was impulsive and outspoken. He began to speak out at campus rallies, and was soon a major thorn in the Authority's hide. When he suddenly disappeared, Rekkon began to suspect that Tchaka was incarcerated by the Authority. This was exactly the case, for Tchaka's orations had reached the ears of Security Viceprex Mirkovig Hirken, who had placed Tchaka on his "list" of candidates for imprisonment at Stars' End. With the help of Han Solo and Chewbacca, Rekkon was able to discover the location of Stars' End, but was killed by Torm before he could rescue his nephew.

It was later discovered that the Tchuukthai were the same species as the Wharl, and were actually intelligent creatures. Most beings throughout the galaxy regard the Tchuukthai as nothing more than a legend, since very few individuals were ever seen off their hidden homeworld. (CPL, EGP, WOTC, PJSB) Tchuukthai this was the language spoken by the Wharl, which were also known as the Tchuukthai.

It was equipped with an AA-1 VerboBrain and a TranLang III ommunications module for interaction with any number of sentient species. One of the main problems which plagued the TDL series of droids was that it was easily reprogrammed. Several reports came in about children repogramming them to allow later bedtimes and less restrictive boundaries. There were also rumors of corporate executives reprogramming TDL droid to be bodyguards and assassins, since they were comparatively cheaper than dedicated assassin droids. Note that The Essential Guide to Droids claims that the TDL was produced by Accutronics. (COTF, JASB, SWJ14, EGD) TDL-3.5 This nanny droid was purchased from an online catalog by Anakin Solo, using the ordering code Bantha-456. Young Anakin believed that the nanny droid would help C-3PO take better care of the Solo children. The officious TDL-3.5 tried to convince C-3PO that it was better suited to care for children, especially since C-3PO was a protocol droid.

In his haste, he crashed the fighter into a grove of trees, and was arrested by the Alliance's military police. General Dodonna offered him one option: travel to Dubrava and act as a recruiter. Jal took the position, if only to get away from Luke. While on Dubrava, Jal offended a young Dubravan named Bobek by tricking him into falling off a deck during a mock training exercise. He also told Nevana about Luke traveling to Jazbina, in a drunken fit of rage. She told Sarma of the information, and Sarma rounded up the local Imperial stormtroopers. When they tried to catch her and get more information on Skywalker's location, she confronted Jal about the information. Nevana was shot by a stormtrooper before she could say anything more, and Jal barely escaped when the stormtroopers set the bar on fire, but was apprehended by the Imperials. Bobek intervened, having purchased a blaster and vowing to kill Jal, but was shot by a stormtrooper. Jal felt that their deaths were his own fault, and fled Dubrava in an old X-Wing purchased from a Dubravan dealer. He hoped to get to Jazbina before the Empire, in order to warn Luke of the danger he'd caused. When he dropped out of hyperspace, Jal's ship collided with Vader's Star Destroyer, and Jal was forced to crash-land. However, he was able to discover Luke's location just before Darth Vader did, though he fled when Vader captured Luke and Syayna's rebels. Jal didn't run, though. Instead, he flew his starship into the belly of Vader's Star Destroyer and crashed it into the ship at full speed. The Star Destroyer exploded, and Vader's troops were stranded on the planet.

Along with her were Han and Leia Organa Solo, Kyp Durron, Judder Page, and Wraw. Their mission was simple: destroy the yammosk which had been installed on Caluula, in an effort to knock out the Yuuzan Vong's possible coordination of a massive assault on Calamari. Despite only seeing a single patrol andd just one surveillance biot, the events that occurred after their arrival led Team Meloque to believe that it was being led into a trap. This fear proved true when the Team was ambushed by four Slayers, who killed Sasso and Ferfer before incapacitating Han Solo and taking the survivors captive. Meloque was able to interpret for the captives, until Malik Carr arrived to personally take them into custody. Unfortunately for the Yuuzhan Vong, something about Caluula's environment caused them to weaken and die over a period of a few weeks. The process seemed to speed up as death grew nearer, as evidenced by the sudden death of Malik Carr, his guards and Slayers. Suddenly free, the Team rushed to figure out what was killing the Yuuzhan Vong and their bio-technology.

Led by Wat Tambor, the Techno Union's members produced some of the galaxy's most cutting-edge technologies during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Techno Union was also one of the loudest supporters of the Trade Federation, following on the Federation's coattails whenever legislation involving trade was mentioned in galactic politics. Using tactics developed by the Trade Federation, the Techno Union demanded the right to protect its various members from external attack, and was given license to develop a droid army to defend itself. This army was added to the growing forces of Count Dooku and the Separatists just before the Battle of Geonosis, when Wat Tambor agreed to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

When Teebo was a young Ewok, he helped his tribe drive off the Duloks, with the help of the Grundakk. He was then chosen by Logray to be his apprentice, and learned to be a musician, a poet, and to tell the future from the positions of the stars.

As the star began to give off rare and unusual gases and elements, miners began taking over parts of Exis Station to serve as bases for their operations. Eventually, Teedio grew too dangerous, and the mining efforts were abandoned. Luke Skywalker and Tionne were later responsible for moving Exis Station to a safer orbit, keeping it away from Teedio and allowing parties to explore the station. At the start of the New Republic, Teedio belched solar flares and heavy radiation into space every nine years or so, giving exploration teams and investigators a chance to escape before subsequent flares created problems. (SWJ15, KB) Teedio System this star system was known as the location of Exis Station, even during the early decades of the New Republic. (KB) Teedle this was the nickname used to describe the TDL-501 waitress droid that served at the Rimsoo Seven cantina, on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Her auditory programming provided Teedle with a sassy, female voice, and a regular popping sound was added to give the impression that she was chewing gum. When Teedle realized that the force-dome that protected the Rimsoo Seven base required a specialized power unit, she found that her own YX-90 drive unit was compatible with that of the force-dome. Rather than see her patrons killed, Teedle volunteered to be deactivated, and donated the YX-90 to the technicians.

Despite their appearance, teeks were semi-intelligent, and could communicate with other beings, albeit with great difficulty. The Ewoks avoided the teeks at all costs, considering them sure signs of trouble ahead. They were the packrats of the moon's forests, taking shiny trinkets and tokens and exchanging them for something of equal value. For many, the teek's idea of what was equal in value was often skewed. At the time of the Battle of Endor, there were very few teeks living in the forest. (BFE, ISU, SWDB) Teek for lack of a better name, this was the name used by one of the Teeks on the Forest Moon of Endor. Teek served as his race's representative to the many unusual races that visited the moon, including the native Ewoks. Teek himself became attached to Noa Briqualon, and lived with him for many years.

Six days before the Tarhassan government opted to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Teeks disappeared. A mission team, gathered from untrained agents picked from various low-level Republic agencies, was put together to rescue him. Led by Cherek Tuhm, the team included Tinian Hanther, Livintius Sazet, Joram Kithe, and Mapper Gann. While Tuhm and his fellow administrators labored over plan details, Joram and Mapper simply went out and hunted Teeks down. They discovered that he had been abducted by Tarhassan Planetary Security while eating at Corgan's Gustatorium, and had not been betrayed by his lover, Zazana Renkel.

The Hutt used it to punish those beings that deserved a quicker death than the Sarlacc pit, allowing them to dream up images of fanged monsters before realizing their position. In fact, the Teeth of Tatooine are wind-blown chips of desert sandstone and silica. The being is tied to the valley floor just past dawn, with leather hides wrapped and tied around each limb. As the temperature rises, the winds pick up and the victim begins to sweat. The sweat loosens the leather briefly, giving the victim reason to struggle. However, the leather simply tightens as it rubs the victim's skin raw and bleeding. The valley is situated such that great gusts of wind rip through it, pushed by the intensely-changing temperatures. The winds pick up small flechettes of stone and propel them through the valley, but the weight of the stones keeps them low to the ground.

When their sensors noticed a huge storm brewing on the planet, she led a group out to scout the storm. However, they discovered the Belkadan had become an ecological wasteland, thanks to the dweebit beetles unleashed by Yomin Carr. Bendodi Ballow-Reese, a member of the search group, realized that they would never make it back to ExGal-4, and committed suicide so that his oxygen could be used by the remaining members. Soon, just Tee-ubo and Jerem Cadmir were left. Tee-ubo realized that both would never make it, and she gave Jerem her oxygen pack and allowed the noxious atmosphere to destroy her. (VP) Teevan this planet was the homeworld of the Teevan race. (JQ1) Teevan this humanoid race was native to the planet Teevan.

Using his skills as a scavenger, Tek managed to survive in the deep desert, outside the view of Kabul Industries. He made a living helping the moisture farmers repair their equipment, but was forced into hiding when an ignorant farmer misused a piece of equipment Tek had repaired. It blew up, and so did the farmer, and a bounty was placed on Tek's head. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Tek rescued Grissom and Arista Kabul from an attack by Arista's uncle, Seth. Grissom devised a plan to turn in Tek for the 12,000-credit bounty on his head, then Grissom and Arista blasted the little alien out of prison.

Note that this planet seems to be different than the Tel IV described in Creatures of the Galaxy. (FBS) Tel Sorath this was a note Dashade individual from the ancient histories of the planet Urkupp. (UANT) Tela an Alliance transport ship destroyed during the Galactic Civil War while trying to obtain Habeen/Nharwaak hyperdrives. (TIE) Tela this woman lived in Ahto City, on the planet Manaan, during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR) Telaan Valley this was one of many settlements found on the planet Bakura. (EGP) Telak, Kird this former Imperial scout served the Navy for six years before he became bored with his work. He fled Imperial service and, using the knowledge of trade routes and transportation schedules, became a pirate. The ability to ambush a ship and make off with its cargo came naturally to Telak, who was known to take a number of risks and still come out ahead. He continued to get bored, bu this only served to push him into more and more daring thefts. He is quite obvious in a crowd, with a crown of fuzzy black hair, expensive clothing which has been carefully aged, and a thin goatee and moustache. (TSK) Telak's Terrors this pirate group, led by the charismatic Kird Telak, operated from a based in the underground caves of the planet Seltaya. The base itself is located about 100 meters below the surface of the planet, and is sensor- and enegry-shielded. No external armaments are employed by the pirates, since the only visible evidence of the base are the launch bay doors and the sensor arrays. (TSK) Telanka System this star system, situated in the Outer Rim Territories, was the location of the Vessar Asteroid Belt. (HAS) Telar this was the largest of the three moons which orbited the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE) Telari, Coros this was the false ID of Pellas Agri, an agent of House Pelagia who worked as a troublemaker and spy for much of his life. His father had died in a House Mecetti prison, unjustly arrested for a crime he didn't commit. This left young Agri with a burning hatred of House Mecetti. He was attacked by a group of thugs from House Mecetti on Lamuir IV, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Telari had stolen a datafile from Mecetti, and was hoping to return it to his Pelagia masters. A team of Alliance agents, hoping to meet Trel Modetto aboard the Eternal Hope, were directed to the site of the attack by Janna Pallask. Their efforts in defeating the thugs saved Telari's life. He spent a great deal of time in a bacta, but owed a debt of gratitude to the Alliance agents. (TSIA) Telatti this sweet, tasty fruit was grown on the planet Kattada. (SWEP) Telbre, Evin this bounty hunter was a rival of the noted smuggler Balthazar Sim. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Telbre discovered Sim had been involved in trying to cover up the effects of a stolen shipment of the drug platykona-zemlo-mobris, known on the street as "pleaz-mo". Telbre decided that it was time to shut down Sim's operation once and for all, and set out to bring him to justice. Sim, several years before, had been implicated in covering up a conspiracy on the planet Coruscant by causing an explosion which destroyed the evidence. The explosion also killed one of Telbre's friends, and Telbre set out to avenge the friend's death. Although he never found out what the actual conspiracy was, he continued to track down Sim. Telbre also worked on his own legitimate shipping business, which served as a front which he used to help transport slaves who escaped from Hutt Space. Telbre eventually tracked Sim to Aucellis Park on Keriba VI, using the transmission from a brooch Sim had once stolen. After a wild chase beneath the Cavern's Delight attraction, Telbre and the mercenaries he hired met up with Sim and his commander, Hoogi Grym. Grym managed to escape, leaving Sim to be captured. (WOA27) TelBrinTel this droid manufacturer produced a variety of scientific droids for civilian and military use. (SWJ13) TelBrinTel Science Research Droid this boxy, humanoid droid was developed by TelBrinTel after the Empire commissioned the corporation to create a weapons and armor research automaton. The SRD was given a monocular eyepiece which contained a powerful molecular microscope, and its endosystem was designed to accept a wide variety of dockable implements. For the most part, the SRD was delivered to Imperial research facilities shortly after the Battle of Hoth. A few individuals, such as the infamous droid known as Geth, were stolen by the Alliance. (SWJ10) Telbun this Kuati term describes a group of selected middle class individuals used as breeders for the Kuati upper classes. Certain members of middle class families are chosen to begin training to be a telbun, which involves rigorous screening and intense education in a wide variety of subjects. When an upper class noble chooses a telbun - there are male and female telbun - the individual becomes the property of the upper class. The telbun's family is well-compensated, but cannot claim any of the upper classes' riches. The child of the union then becomes the heir to the upper class riches. The goal of this arrangement was to remove emotion from the creation of a child, while at the same time eliminating the senseless joining of upper class families through marriage. The telbun is subordinate to its mate, and is made to wear heavy red and purple robes that hide their bodies from the public eye. They must wear tall, starched collars and high, cylindrical hats. (WG) Teldanus this was the second-tallest mountain peak located on Goroth Prime, rising some 7,350 meters tall. It was located on the planet's western hemisphere. Its name translated into Basic as the "Overlook." (GSE) Tele-eye an outdated form of electrobinoculars, it is a small, motorized telescope. (HSL) Telega Lake located on an unspecified planet, this lake was several spectacular waterfalls. Hidden behind the waterfalls was the secret base of the Rodian gunrunner Karbo Jaxx. (HAS) Teleportal this specialized doorway was created by the Keeper to protect its work from being discovered by offworld beings. Only those beings who understood the runes which covered the teleportal could learn how to activate it. (PZZ1) Teleq this bounty hunter was part of a group of hunters hired by Granta Omega to capture Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Wren Honoran on Ragoon-6, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. Teleq was known among other bounty hunters for his skilled use of technology in locating and capturing his targets. Teleq himself was a humanoid being with long limbs and hooked fingers and toes, giving him incredible mobility in trees and complex structures. It was Teleq who first captured Wren Honoran, using the Jedi pilot as bait to capture Obi-Wan and Anakin. (JQ2) TeleSonic this was the brand-name of a series of audio pickups produced by Neuro-Saav Corporation for use in picking up long-distance sounds. The TeleSonic could filter out background noise and analyze the remaining sounds. (ROE, AEG) Telesponder the starship communications device which reacts to inquiries regarding a ship's identification. Also known as a transponder. (HSE) Televor this was the term, used by the Saivax of the planet Leritor, to describe the leader of a kuuvan. (GMR10) Telex-Delcor this corporation produced a number of space skiffs for use at orbital docking and repair facilities. They also produced a variety of starship security systems. (OE, SWJ13) Telezan a depressant drug. (COJ) Telfrey this planet, located in the Iskalon system, was depopulated by the Empire in order to secure the planet for their own usage, after it was discovered that rebellious individuals were stirring up the population. The survivors of the mass killings, both human and Telfreyan, eventually joined the Alliance, as the surface of their homeworld was reduced to molten slag by an Imperial bombardment. Historians later discovered that the Imperial attack on Telfrey was an act of retribution for the actions of Tay Vanis and Yom Argo on Iskalon. (LTA6, MC74, GMR1) Telfreyan this was the primary, sentient race which was native to the planet Telfrey. Like their human neighbors, the Telfreyans were forced to flee the planet when the Empire subjugated the world. The Telfreyans were a race of green-skinned amphibians, with fin-like ears and a thick spray of bone sprouting from their foreheads. (MC74) Telgordo Travel this passenger transport corporation provided luxury and standard-class tranportation for the inhabitants of Trax Sector, during the Galactic Civil War. (GMK) Telgordo's Pride this Telgordo Travel starliner was based out Bundim, and made regular runs in Trax Sector during the Galactic Civil War. The team of Alliance agents investigating the construction of an Imperial supply depot in the Bissillirus System were forced to book passage on this ship in order to bypass the Imperial blockade of Bundim and return to Draenell's Point. The only reason they were able to book passage on the ship was that a group of anti-Imperial rebels had hijacked the ship a week before. Although not officially affiliated with the Alliance, the hijackers pretended the Alliance team was a group of tourists in order to get past the Imperial blockade of Bundim. (GMK) Telgorn Corporation makers of starship flight computers, Telgorn expanded its business by designed and manufacturing transport ships after the Battle of Hoth. Telgorn also manufactured various sizes of portable power cells, denoted in size by the letters A, B, C, and D. (XW, QE, COJ) Telgorn II lpc this starship, produced by Telgorn and based on the Gamma-class assault shuttle, is sometimes classified as a Gamma-class light personnel carrier. It measures 30 meters in length, and was are with four laser cannons. It requires a crew of 5, and can transport up to 40 troops into battle situations. (TA) Telgorn Power Cells this subsidiary of the Telgorn Corporation produced a range of portable power supplies, from batteries to portable generators. (HNN4) Teligi Road this was one of the main thoroughfares which led through the city of New Apsolon, on the planet of the same name. (TTB) Telik this Imperial Major served as the commander of Colonel Vessery's ground assault forces, during the early years of the New Republic. After Ysanne Isard took control of General Arnothian's TIE Defender operation and began plotting the destruction of Prince-Admiral Krennel, Telik's forces were called upon to assist Rogue Squadron in the infiltration of the planet Ciutric. Unknown to the New Republic, Telik was the agent on Commenor who provided Iella Wessiri with a holdout blaster, after she was captured by agents in the law offices of Wooter, Rimki, and Vass. Telik was impressed with Iella's ability to escape the situation. The Rogues, in the guise of Antar Roat's experimental flight group, agreed to "defect" to join Krennel, while Telik's team worked on the ground to bring down Ciutric's defenses. Telik's team was also in charge of rescuing the prisoners who were held on the Lusankya. (IR) Telindel and Saerlock famous musicians who performed during the Galactic Civil War. (TME) Telir this smuggler worked froma base on Coruscant during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN) Telissa this Belascan woman was Senator Uta S'orn's personal aide. (DH) Teljkon System the planetary system in which the wandering starship known as the Teljkon vagabond was first sighted. (BTS) Teljkon Vagabond the name given to the mysterious, 1,500-meter starship that was discovered bouncing around the galaxy about five years before the Yevethan Great Purge. A Hrasskis monitor ship discovered it there, but was unable to track it. The New Republic frigate Boldheart also encountered the ship and tried to stop it, but was disabled by the vagabond. When the vagabond showed up near Gmar Askilon about thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Hiram Drayson and Alpha Blue got involved. They sent a fleet of ships, under the joint command of Pakkpekatt and Lando Calrissian, to Gmar Askilon to intercept it. They found the vagabond to be a five-hulled cratf resembling a raft. It appeared to be lashed together with huge, organic-looking cables. Its outer hull was translucent and apparently organic. The vagabond maintained a twelve-kilometer distance around itself via hidden sensors, and transmitted a high-pitched signal to any ship which entered the twelve-kilometer zone. If the ship didn't properly respond immediately, the vagabond would shoot to disable it while the vagabond jumped into hyperspace. Lando Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO discovered that the initial code being sent by the vagabond represented a subset of the Qella genetic code, and sent the remaining code back to the vagabond. They were admitted within the secure zone, and allowed to enter the outer hull. The ferret ship D-89 tried to enter the secure zone with the same code, but the vagabond had switched to another code. It destroyed the ferret and jumped into hyperspace. Once left to their own devices, Lando's team discovered that the vagabond's hull was constantly adjusting itself, and was able to repair small breeches by simply closing the gap. Along a section of the inner hull, a huge mural depicted thousands of Qella. The interior walls reacted to physical touch, and various responses were garnered from the ship's many rooms. Many rooms had special keys or sigils in the walls which, when touched, produced Qella music or changed the room's color, shape, or musical sounds. The chemical make-up of the rooms could be altered seemingly at will, with various pores extracting and introducing the gases necessary for its inhabitants to breathe. Any room entered by its normal portal would react to the entrance by turning on lights. It was later discovered, by Lobot, that the vagabond was actually a huge musuem carrying thousands upon thousands of Qella ideas, stories, and data on how to rebuild the Qella race. The ship had been launched when the planet Brath Qella suddenly was plunged into an ice age, in order that the Qella could survive the cataclysm in stasis, until their planet was habitable again. Much of the ship mirrors the Qella genetic makeup, from its internal structures to the base-six algorithms which run it (and are based on the Qella genetic code). The ship was designed with the idea that, after the planet had managed to survive the loss of its moons, the vagabond would return to Brath Qella and restart the evolutionary process. When the vagabond did eventually return - with Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO still inside - it allowed Luke Skywalker to join them. Luke's mastery of the Force allowed him to commune with the ship, bypassing the base-six algorithms which baffled Lobot and telling it to let them all go. It then began the laborious process of thawing out Brath Qella and making it habitable again for the thousands of Qella buried under the ice. (BTS, SOL, TT) Telk, Rab this man lived in The Clog, on the planet Chazwa, and despised Hahz Fallone for hoarding the wealth of the city. (ND) Telkadis this was a forested planet. (COG) Telkadis Hiding Tree Spider native to the taku forests of Telkadis, this unusual predatory insect made its home deep inside the wood of the taku. Outwardly, the trees appeared healthy, but inside the tree spiders had carved out their own nest. The females of the species used powerful claws and pincers to dig through the taku to lay their eggs, and then the males followed them in to fertilize them. While in the process of fertilization, the male tree spider emitted a kind of humming sound, which was the only indication that a specific taku tree was infected with spiders. These tree spiders ambushed rodents, such as the volete, when they got too close to the taku tree, injecting the rodents with a potent venom that killed the volete and allowed the spiders to feed on the carcass. These spiders were a nuisance to the loggers and foresters of Telkadis, who would cut down a seemingly healthy tree only to discover a nest of stinging insects. (COG) Tell, Toria this woman, a native of the planet Tebru, was a noted droid inventor and collector. Toria, who trusted machines more than humans, maintained one of the galaxy's largest collection of rare automata and ancient robotic texts. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, she produced a private scandoc which discussed the latest developments in droid technology. (SWJ10) Tellanroaeg this planet, located in the Outer Rim, was one of many that were caught in the Outer Rim Sieges that occurred near the end of the Clone Wars. (E3N) Tellar this smuggler knew of an illicit weapons technician who claimed to be able to boost the output of the DL-6H, giving it an additional twenty shots without reducing the power of each blast. (GUN) Tellaro, Arkle this small-time smuggler was captured by the Corellian Security Force during the Galactic Civil War. Arkle went native after a raid on Velx-Shel, but returned to piloting in an effort to earn and spend his credits. He was captured on a routine run. (HAS) Telling of the Story this Kitonak ritual is performed at the end of their day. A single story is created by the adult Kitonaks, with plot twists and stroylines designed to teach the younger Kitonaks the virtues of patience. The story itself is often told in chapters, with each Telling consuming one chapter. (GG4) Tellivar Lady a passenger liner that made a regular stop on Tatooine. It is often refered to as the Tellie. M'iiyoum Onith lost her seat on the liner because she couldn't pay her passage tax. (TME) Tellix this Imperial customs officer was stationed on the planet Manforgon during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWRPG) Telltrig-7 a small holdout blaster. (TME) Telmun Jkarta this New Republic Intelligence agent provided an in-depth analysis of the Teljkon vagabond, following the efforts of Lando Calrissian and Ejagga Pakkpekatt to locate the mysterious ship. (CTD) Teloberry a species of fruit-bearing bush native to the arctic regions of Misnor. (COG) Teloc Hunters this famous group of primitive hunters was native to the planet Teloc Ol-sen, where they domesticated bergruutfas for use as mounts. (COG) Teloc Ol-sen this planet was known as the homeworld of the bergruutfa species, as well as the primitive Teloc Hunters. (COG) Telona this was the fourth month of the Tapani local calendar, which mapped almost directly to the Coruscant local calendar. (PGT) Telos this planet was known for its technological innovations, much of which was developed in the centuries following the Great Sith War. During the Sith War, the planet was sundered by Darth Malak, and much of its surface was destroyed. Left alone, Telos regenerated itself into a beautiful world, with many natural wonders which drew a steady tourist trade, as well as a great deal of commerce. About twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, the former Jedi Knight Xanatos turned the planet upside down by scheming to rape it of its resources in return for personal power. Only the intervention of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted Xanatos' plans, and helped return the planet to its rightful government. (DR, DOR, SWDB) Telos-4 this Outworld planet was the site of the Anglebay medical station during the Galactic Civil War. The planet remained neutral during the conflict, and treated the injured of both the Empire and the Alliance. It was attacked, and its droid and organic staff executed, by Valance the bounty hunter shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It was here that Beilert Valance was cyborged in an effort to save his life, after an Alliance serial torpedo destroyed his platoon. He left the planet a smoking lump of rock. (MC16, SWMW) Telosian this was the name used to describe the human natives of the planet Telos. (DOR) Telowe, Arden this lanky man operated Mos Eisley's Desert Survey Office during the height of the New Order. He lived in the office in between expeditions into the desert, always in search of scrap or salvage. Despite his efforts to explore as much of the desert as he could, Telowe never updated the official map in the Desert Survey Office. He kept many locations, such as smugglers' hideouts and possible mining locations, to himself, often selling them to the local Hutt crimelords. During the Galactic Civil War, Telowe found himself the object of an intense search, ostensibly led by his long-lost sister, Masda. However, Masda turned out to be his former wife, whom he had left on Esseles with a huge debt to repay. Masda hired a group of bounty hunters to trail her after she hired some local guides to help track down Telowe. The scouts managed to find him in a canyon cave, and he was forced to accede to Masda's demands or be killed on the spot. (GMR7) Telowe, Masda this woman claimed to be Arden Telowe's long-lost sister, and hired a group of scouts to help her locate him in the deserts of Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. In reality, Masda was Telowe's former wife, and was searching for him to exact a measure of revenge for leaving her. Masda was a native of Esseles, and claimed that Telowe had left her with a failing business and heavy debts. When the scouts agreed to help her, thinking that she was simply looking for her "brother," Masda then hired a group of bounty hunters to follow them into the desert, in order to ensure Telowe didn't escape. (GMR7) Tels the meaning of this Quarren surname was unknown. (GCG) Telsa 89 this Khommite, the 89th clone of Telsa, was distinguished in the history of the planet Khomm. (UANT) Telsij this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG) Telsij this man served as a Lieutenant in the Alliance's Strafighter Command, and was a pilot in Gray Squadron. He was one of four pilots who survived a raid on the Imperial Academy on Carida, just prior to the Battle of Endor. (CCG11) Telsor this Corellian Gunship was part of the Alliance fleet sent to Bakura following the Battle of Endor. (TBSB) Telti this desert moon orbits an unspecified world far from the galactic community. It has no atmosphere and supports no known life, but was a source of many different metals and ores needed throughout the galaxy. A mining colony was established on Telti, with special environment domes allowing the miners to exist on the moon. The mining colony supported the Empire only under duress, and went bankrupt after the Battle of Endor. Years later, Brakiss established a droid manufacturing facility there, funded by Dolph and structured to produce droids which would explode when hidden detonators were triggered by a remote signal. It was on Telti that Cole Fardreamer, with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, exposed Brakiss' part in Dolphs' plans. Brakiss fled the moon, rather than face the New Republic and Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker and Brakiss met several years later on Telti, in an attempt to come to terms with each other. The meeting was a failure, and opened the rift between them even farther. (TNR, JUS) Teltiar Noodles this form of noodles could be slightly undercooked, for a crunchy texture, or cooked through for a softer feel in the mouth. (HNN5) Teltier Noodles see Teltiar Noodles (GQRG) Teltior this alien race was native to the planet Merisee, in the Elrood Sector. They resemble their neighbors, the Meri, in nearly every aspect, including their blue skin color and webbed fingers. The Teltiors, however, lack the large brow ridge present on the Meris. Both races lived on their own continent for much of their early history, separated by vast oceans. During the period of history known as "The Joining," the two continents were joined by a finger of mountains, and the two races were able to discover each other. However, instead of friendship, the Meris offered the Teltiors war, and the two races battled for a thousand years before Merisee was discovered by the Old Republic. Realizing that their own struggle was nothing compared to the galactic struggle, the Meri and the Teltiors eventually united to form a single group called the Loag. The Teltiors were also more willing to leave Merisee and travel throughout the galaxy, and many found success as traders or merchants. Although they chose not to brag about it, Teltiors also produced some of the galaxy's most successful conmen. (PG3, AE) Teluron Thacker this humanoid worked for many years as a secret operative for the Jedi Knights, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He had seen the compassion of the Jedi when his homeworld of Eeyyon needed assistance, and he resolved himself to help them out in any way possible. After he made several accounting mistakes in his regular job, Thacker found himself shipped off to Korriban, ostensibly to establish a new branch location. However, the assignment on the remote world was a punishment for his actions, and Thacker knew it. When the Jedi contacted him about finding information on Granta Omega's arrival on Korriban, Thacker agreed to help. However, years of living on the desolate planet had hardened Thacker's soul. Rather than fully helping the Jedi, he set them up to be captured or destroyed by the Sith Lord who was commanding Omega's actions. He ostensibly provided the Jedi with a borrowed airspeeder to reach the Valley of the Dark Lords, but then turned to the local police force and claimed that the speeder had been stolen. (JQ10) Tem Eliss this Iyra from F'tral became a prominent and respected professor at the University of Sanbra. His lectures were always in demand, and students were consistently filling the auditoriums. He was very demanding of his students, but was fair and impartial. However, Eliss was also strongly anti-Imperial in his politics, and often spoke out about the rights of alien species. His manuscript, The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life, was written to provide cultural guidelines and to detail the goals and motivations of the species of the galaxy. He tried to remain neutral in his writing, but the Galactic Civil War and Palpatine's pro-human policies often colored his words. COMPNOR tried to halt publication of the document and detail Eliss, but Eliss fled into hiding. He was not seen again on Sanbra, although there have been rumors that Eliss joined the Alliance. The document itself began to appear on student computer networks, and eventually was distributed to over 25,000 nodes on 5,000 worlds. (GG12) Tema this Galacian woman was an artisan who was married to the healer Rowi, and was Elan's mother. She was known as a restless spirit to the Hill People, and often traveled to Galu to see the "outside world." During one of her trips, she fell in love with King Cana, and they were briefly married outside of her life with Rowi. She conceived a child by Cana, but kept the child's true parentage a secret when her marriage to Cana was annulled. She raised Elan as Rowi's daugther, but knew in her heart that Elan was Cana's daughter and heir. (MOC.) Temba Port this was the capital of the moon Antar 4. (EGP) Tembon, Gaor this smuggler, slaver, and thief was once an associate of Jarmak, before the latter individual was arrested and sent to prison. (GG10) Temebiu one of Munto Codru's more experienced, wealthy families. (CS) Temerit this Victory-class Star Destroyer was dispatched by the Empire to ensure that the Both System was brought under Imperial control, during the early years of the New Order. (SWJ3) Temior, Brella the ringleader of the Justice Action Network, Temior was taken out of the position by the cunning Gerald Weizel. (SWJ8) Temm, Jasis this man was the owner of Hadlress Defense Systems, Ltd., until he sold the corporation for 4.6 billions credits. He then went into the bounty hunting business, preferring to put his knowledge to more "practical" use. (GG10) Temm, Miat this woman was a member of Admiral Pellaeon's civilian staff, and was assigned to greet Leia Organa Solo on Bastion when the New Republic first asked for the assistance of the Imperial Remnant in combatting the Yuuzhan Vong. Leia discovered that Miat was Force-sensitive, and adept at blocking off her mind from other Force users. (DTR) Temolak this alien race, native to the arid world of Zirulast, scavenged their home system and neighboring systems for derelict starships and other materials to help bring credits home to their underdeveloped society. The Temolaks were known to deal primarily with low-tech races, preferring to use any advantage they could find to maintain their control. During the last days of the Old Republic, Temolak salvage crews often engaged in bloody conflicts for the rights to certain locations. These skirmishes led to the formation of the Temolak Salvage Consortium. However, then the Empire discovered the Temolak, the aliens quickly fled into the Outer Rim in order to avoid the Imperial laws and taxes which were imposed on them. The average Temolak stood just over two meters in height, and was a heavily-muscled being with reddish skin. Their faces were distinguished by the short horns which sprouted from their cheeks, as well as the fanlike ridges along their chins. As a people, the Temolak were quiet and timid, but could be resourceful and crafty when needed. Most Temolaks lived to be more than 100 years of age. (UANT) Temolish this was the native language of the Temolak race. (UANT) Temora this businessman was a native of Tun Wala, on Arda-2. He was against the selling of T-6 diodems to the Alliance, and refused Luke Skywalker's request to have a protection system developed to protect Alliance starfighters against Imperial ships which used after-market diodems. He was one of the city's executives. (CSWEA) Tempay this is one of Gacerian's moons. It orbits the planet 180 degrees from the position of its sister moon, Fortay. The two pass completely around Gacerian once every 37.5 days. It was the site of an Imperial scout base, which was maintained even after the Battle of Endor. Loctaed at the moon's north pole, the base lies directly on the terminus line. Thus, it can monitor the planet below, and the open space beyond, from a single location. (PG2) Temperance this was one of many sleek-hulled destroyers produced at the Contruum shipyards, during the early years of the New Republic. (UF) Tempest this was a form of spice developed on Nar Shaddaa and produced on Varl by Mika the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. Purple in color, it was noted for the way it provided a user with increased willpower and physical strength, but these enhancements came at a heavy price. Habitual users experienced a loss of self-control and sanity, and many died from the addiction. The addictive properties of tempest were stronger even than those of glitterstim, andris, or carsunum, and a single use was often all that was needed to form an addiction. Upon ingesting tempest, a user experienced a sensation not unlike having hot knives driven into the brain, which released a torrent of pleasurable emotions. In many cases, this was following a period in which the user felt invulnerable, and often went into a murderous rage to prove it. Addicts were easily distinguished by the spiderwebs of darkened blood vessels that were visible through their skin. Within months of its introduction, tempest had swept through Nar Shaddaa, collecting addicts at a remarkable pace. The lower levels of the Smuggler's Moon were rife with violent gangs, and were virtually unpassable. In just a few months, tempest began sweeping the Outer Rim Territories, and entire planets fell to its addiction. It took the investigative work of Angela Krin to discovered that the source of tempest was on the planet Varl, a fact that she discovered after investigating the source of the Endregaad Plague. Raw spice was transported to Varl, where it was mutated by the addition of a virus found only on the former Hutt homeworld. This mutated spice became the basis for tempest, and was refined to create the purple drug that Mika hoped would allow him to control the galaxy. The manufacturing facility was actually a custom-built battleship known as the Tempest, which was capable of producing enough of the spice to enslave the entire galaxy. Unfortunately for Mika, the agents hired by his parent, Popara, discovered the facility on Varl and destroyed it before Mika could set his plans in motion. (TF, WOTC) Tempest this Victory-class Star Destroyer was nearly destroyed near Dulathia, about four years after the Battle of Endor. Under the command of Captain Emba, it was carrying the components for an ion cannon, and slipped away from the battle. It managed to reach Garos VI, where it deposited the cannon. (SWJ3) Tempest this immense, 750-meter-long battleship was custom-built by Mika the Hutt to serve as the primary production facility for tempest spice. The ship was constructed on the surface of the planet Varl, hidden from prying eyes. The needle-shaped vessel contained hundreds of individual rooms that were connected by winding corridors, and was divided into four main sections. The forward section contained the main tempest processing facility, while the rearmost section contained the ship's engines and power plant. In the central part of the ship, the port side contained docking bays while the starboard side was dedicated to barracks, repair facilities, and an armory. Although the Tempest was built on the surface of Varl, it was completely spaceworthy, and could take off at a moment's notice, if needed. From the Tempest, Mika planned to produce enough tempest spice to enslave much of the galaxy, thereby taking control of the galaxy for himself. However, a group of freelance agents once hired by Mika's parent, Popara, discovered the facility on Varl. Mika tried to lift off from the planet's surface, but the agents managed to commandeer the Tempest before the Hutt could escape. Rather than let the ship fall into their hands, Mika set off the ship's self-destruct sequence. The Hutt was later killed in a firefight, and the Tempest detonated in orbit around Varl. Before its destruction, the Tempest was armed with sixteen turbolasers, twenty laser cannons, eight ion cannons, and twelve tractor beam projectors. It was capable of transporting up to 1,600 passengers and 8,100 metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of 800 to operate.

(GQRG) Tempest Squadron this was the company name of the walker squadron which was garrisoned at the Imperial outpost on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the construction of the second Death Star. This was an unusual grouping, made up primarily of AT-St walkers, but this was necessitated by the terrain of Endor's moon. The lead AT-AT in the squadron had been refitted with speciallized programs which corrected certain weaknesses exposed at the Battle of Hoth. Many of the squadron's walkers and scouts saw action during the subjugation of the Wookiees on planet Kashyyyk. (CCG10) Tempest-class Gunship this gunship design was manufactured during the last century of the Old Republic. (COD) Tempestro this race of sapient creatures was native to the planet known as Koda's World. They are a warrior race, descended from a gentle and proud civilization. Millennia before the Galactic Civil War, the Tempestro's ancestors had a great mastery of the Force and were incredibly spiritual. This belief in a higher power, and a lack of modern technology, left them unprepared for an asteroid strike. The impact threw up a huge dust cloud which exterminated much of the Tempestro civilization. The survivors stored all their knowledge in a stone temple and eked out a meager existence. Those modern Tempestro understand that the temple is important, but have forgotten exactly why. When they were discovered by Krin Koda, he provided medicines to cure a ravaging disease. In return, the Tempestro gave him the Eye of Koda. They resemble large, winged reptiles which can glide great distances. Their heads are long and thin, dominated by sharp beaks and a bony spike projecting from the back of their skull. The edges of their wings are covered with serrated scales. Much of their current civilization is based on the trees of the planet. They are slightly telepathic, a remnant of their former ability to use the Force. During his attempt to gain the powerful Eye of Koda, Dhar Bullwin used his magic to enslave a population of Tempestro, using them to combat a gorup of scouts who were also on the trail of the Eye. (GG8) Temp-flu this was starfighter pilot slang for the mental state of mind which overcomes pilots shortly before their tour of duty was up.

It was built some 4,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, to honor Tet-Ami and his actions in defending the city of Carthas from attack. However, it was lost from the public consciousness for many centuries as civilization began to coalesce around Coruscant.

(KOTOR) Temple of the Beatific Razor this violent sect of terrorists was formed among the Swokes Swokes during the early years of their membership in the Old Republic, when off-world corporations stripped Makem Te of its resources and left the planet a barren wasteland. The Congress of Caliphs had happily agreed to the offers made by these corporations, which caused a great deal of confusion among the Swokes Swokes population. Their low-tech existence was suddenly perforated by noisy machinery and uncaring aliens. Several splinter groups were formed at this time to disrupt the operations of the off-worlders, and the Temple of the Beatific Razor was perhaps the most fanatical of the lot. Led by the High Mystics, the Razor Penitents grew rapidly in strength and numbers, until they rivaled the Congress of Caliphs in power. The Caliphs requested military assistance from the Old Republic just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, but the Republic later pulled out when the Beatific Razors eliminated their entire force. This forced the Caliphs to ally themselves with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the Separatist forces helped to quell the actions of the Beatific Razors for many years. (WOTC) Temple of the Blueleaf Cluster one of the ancient, elaborate structures found in the jungles of Yavin Four. It was nearly destroyed when Vice Admiral Pellaeon and his fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers attacked the temple, thinking it was the primary site of Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy.

The crystal is oily to the touch, and is charged with static electricity. There are reports that the crystal is filled with the spirits of the long-dead Massassi people, and that their faces can be seen inside the crystal.

(TF) Templeton a Virujansian Senator rescued from Captivity by the Alliance. (RC) Temporary Droids this corporation was formed during the last decades of the Old Republic, to provide other businesses and private enterprises with a ready pool of droid labor for short- or long-term rental.

(GMR4) Temptation Canyon located on the planet Sriluur, this desolate canyon was known as a home for bandigos. The Weequay population of the planet deserted the canyon and left it alone, believing it was the site of an epic battle between their god, Quay, and the evil water-nymph temptresses who lived in the pool at the deepest end of the canyon. The canyon was also known by its Weequay name, Uurutche'zediev. Many believe that the legend of Quay's battle was simply a fanciful description of the first Weequay attempt to get past the bandigos which live in the canyon, in order to get to the fresh-water spring at its end. The ancient Weequay had erected a temple midway through the Canyon, in order to help keep the water nymphs from returning and to warn travelers of their possible presence. The temple was later taken over by Ujin Voli as a base of operations. (SSR) Tempter also called the Endorian treesnake, the tempter lived in hollowed-out trees and rocky crevices. Once settled into a location, it would stick out its furred tongue and wag it around, as if the tongue were a wounded snake. The tongue had its own musculature and nerve center, and the tip of the tongue even semed to have eyes and a mouth, which gave it a convincing appearance. The tempter's slimy skin also gave off a tempting aroma. Whenever a scavenger came to eat the "snake," the tempter would strike at the scavenger with its long neck, grasping the scavenger and eating it whole. The body of the tempter was covered with thick mucous, which allowed it to slither across the forest floor and crawl into tight locations to hide. The bite of the treesnake is mildly poisonous, causing skin inflamation. (ISU, E1A7, EA, WSW) Temquill, Blair this woman was born to one of the lesser nobles of House Tagge, and led a pampered life until her father became involved in politics.

It was believed she was working at the Imperial shipyards near Vosteltig, but the yards were too well-defended to obtain better information. (WBC) Ten Mile Plateau a favorite tourist attraction, found in the rugged outback of the planet Ord Mantell.

(GCG) Tendau Bendan this Ithorian was an Old Republic Senator when Queen Amidala moved for a vote of no-confidence in the abilities of Chancellor Valorum. Senator Bendan was known to be one of Valorum's main supporters, in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, and voted against the taxation of trade routes when the matter was put forth. In the decade which followed the Battle of Naboo, Senator Bendan was one of the loudest objectors to Chancellor Palpatine's Military Creation Act, fearing that the overt formation of a Republic-wide army would simply cause more violence rather than stop it. Note that this character's name is spelled Bendon in Cloak of Deception. (IG1, COD, CCG13, HNN4) Tendau Nandon this Ithorian worked for the Empire as a biologist during the height of the New Order. He found himself "recruited" into Imperial service after his desire to learn everything he could about the Mother Jungle drove him from his herdship and away from Ithor. He was partnered with Dusque Mistflier for much of her career, a position that both felt was due to Tendau's race and Dusque's femininity. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Tendau and Dusque were assigned as the Imperial representatives to a huge convention of zoologists and xenobiologists at The Aerie, on the planet Naboo. It was during this convention that Dusque first met Finn Darktrin, and she began to question her allegiance to the Empire. Unknown to Dusque, that was exactly what Finn wanted her to do. He then manipulated events in such a way that Tendau was arrested on the suspicion that he was an Alliance sympathizer. When a squad of stormtroopers executed Tendau for the briefest of resistance, Finn explained to her that he had been trading information with Bothan spies. Dusque decided to avenge his death by joining the Alliance. It was only months later, after the recovery of a holocron from the ancient jedi ruins on Dantooine, that Dusque discovered the truth of Tendau's death. The fact that Tendau had met with a group of Bothans just before his death was simply a coincidence Finn used to support his backstory.

It was used whenever three or more fighters were being pursued by enemy craft, and could not escape without a fight. The fleeing ships built up as much speed as possible while trying to stay ahead of the pursuing enemy ships. Then, one fghter would suddenly kill power to the engines and spin around, facing the oncoming enemy ships. This ship, known as the fan, served two purposes. First and foremost, it broke up the group of enemy fighters, forcing them to change their flight path to avoid collisions. Second, it allowed the fleeing ships to put some distance between themselves and the enemy, giving them an opportunity to loop back around and engage the enemy head-on.

When Mace Windu arrived on Haruun Kal to investigate the disappearance of Deppa Billaba, she was shot in the shoulder by a blast from Nick Rostu, and died shortly after from massive blood-loss. Mace later discovered that Flor had actually been a double agent, ostensibly working for the Republic but actually working for the Separatists.

Tenno was a rebellious young boy, an attribute that didn't sit well with his disciplinarian father. The fact that Ka'arn's usual communication with his son involved a back-handed swipe acros the mouth made Tenno all the more eager to strike out on his own. When his father was given a holocron by a dying Jedi Knight, Tenno made a brash decision to steal it from the tribe's elders and make sure it was safe. However, in the back of his mind, Tenno also knew that the Sith would come looking for it, and secretly hoped to deliver the holocron as a way to get the Sith to take him as an apprentice. Tenno and his friends showed up at a council meeting to demand the holocron, and Ka'arn angrily questioned their motives. When he made to strike Tenno yet again, Tenno drew a knife and stabbed his father in the chest. When the Sith did arrive and simply took the holocron, Tenno explained that they had been trying to ensure he could have it. Anger surged in the Sith, who explained that he needed no one's help before killing Tennos' friends as his "reward". The Sith then warned the rest of the tribe that, if anyone harmed Tenno for what had happened, he would return and cause more trouble.

(COJ, DS) Terak Terak was ostensibly the King of the Marauders on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. He was taller and stronger than the other Marauders, and was obsessed with finding "The Power," which he felt was the key to the ancient scroll he possessed. The scroll held plans to the starship of Noa Briqualon and Salek Weet, who had crashed onto the Forest Moon. After Salek was captured and interrogated, Terak found the scroll and believed that the ship's crystal oscillator contained The Power. Terak desired to built a starship for himself, so that he could terrorize the stars. He enlisted the Dathomiri witch, Charal, to help him find The Power. Later, he killed most of the Towani family while trying to obtain the oscillator from their shuttle. Having obtained it, though, Terak had no idea how to use it. He tried to make Cindel tell him how it worked, but she was unable to. When Cindel retrieved the oscillator and liberated the Ewoks held by the Marauders, Terak had Charal turn into a bird to lead him to the humans, and kept her magic ring to guarantee her compliance. This proved to be his downfall, for Wicket struck the ring with a stone, causing it to flare to life, burning Terak to death. Terak was portrayed by Carel Struycken in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. (BFE, GMR9, SWDB) Terakaya this was a name that was common among the females of the Sanyassan race.

The terazod had a stout horn on its nose, used for digging through the dirt and silt at the bottom of ponds and lakes and uprooting plants to feed on. Because of their small size, terazods actually floated on the surface of the water and snorkeled downward. Their long necks allowed them to reach the bottom of shallow waters, and a long tail helped counterbalance them while feeding. The tail is also studded with horny spikes. (WSW) Terbeast this species of vicious, three-headed carnivore was native to the jungles of Ogden Minor.

Tere herself was briefly imprisoned, but managed to escape and became a smuggler on her own. She owned the modified Suwantek light freighter known as the StarQuest, which she used as a smuggling vessel. Among the beings who served as her first mate were Matt Turhaya and, after the Battle of Endor, Gil Crosear. Tere had worked with Turhaya on Kabaira, and it was during this time that she learned of Matt's young daughter, Alex. (SWJ6, SWJ13) Tereb Ab'Lon a Bothan diplomat who was monitored by the Empire because they suspected, but could not prove, that he was an Alliance supporter. Ab'Lon was, in fact, secretly working for the Alliance. He was killed before he could deliver secret fleet schedules to an Alliance cell in the Tao-Grant System. Nevertheless, he had stored the information in the astromech droid R2-Z1, known as Fweep, which he handed over to Nim Bola before he slipped into a coma. His attackers later dropped him into the Sarlacc, in the Pit of Carkoon, on Tatooine. There was reason to believe that Tereb was eliminated by his superior, Gatrar Shey'Tyan, who had turned the Bothan planets over to the Empire. (SWJ3) Terecon this long-bodied reptile was native to the planet Essowyn. Measuring up to eight meter in length, and standing a meter at the shoulder, the terecons were the only natural enemy of the huge hoska.

(SWJ10) Terhaari this is the sole moon which orbits the planet Berchest. It exhibits a strong tidal pull on the planet, making the seas of Berchest quite active. As a result, much of the planet's coastline has been eroded to reveal beautiful crystalline formations. (TTSB) Terika Etan this was the name of a noted Iotran individual. (UANT) Terk native to Toydaria, this creature was raised for its unusual hide. Toydarian chefs often cut the hide into strips and sauteed it in oil and groat milk, creating a dish called terratta, which was suited for the Toydarian palate. (WOTC, CCW) Terk Street this was one of the many alleyways which wound through the settlement of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. (T6) Terkuss an Imperial assault trooper serving under General Covell during Thrawn's reign of terror, Terkuss hailed from the planet Plesstil. (DFRSB) Terlou, Tel this Imperial Major served the Bureau of Taxation as an investigator. He was in charge of the investigation of the Estaria Central Starport, during the height of the New Order. (HAS) Termadus this white dwarf was the secondary star in the Cularin System. Much younger than its companion, the yellow star Morasil, Termandus had evolved quickly through its life-cycle. Because of its proximity to Morasil, Termandus' meager gravity often collected coronal gases from the larger star, a phenomenon which hid Termandus from many starship nagivational computers and presented dangers to any being traveling through hyperspace near the Cularin System. (LFC) Termagant this Imperial Strike-class cruiser was part of the Warlord Zsinj's fleet. It was part of the group that was sent to the Alderaan System to ambush the bacta convoy headed to Coruscant from Thyferra. The lead ship of the group was an unidentified Super-class Star Destroyer, and it destroyed the convoy before Rogue Squadron arrived. However, the Termagant was attacked and destroyed by the Rogues. (KT) Terman Station the Black Sun pilot Kalend Thora was nearly assassinated while laying over on this station, which was located along the Sisar Run between Sespe and Sriluur. The Station was roughly twice the size of Nwarcol Point. During the Galactic Civil War, Terman Station was run by Kilon Tarlok, who spent much of his time repairing the aging station. Although local legends said that Terman Station was built millennia ago by the Hutts, Kinsa Doroturo later discovered that the station was actually one of the orbital fortresses built by Xim the Despot. It was abandoned after the Third Battle of Vontor and left idle. (SSR) Termin this was the capital city of Metalorn, and the nexus for many of the planet's manufacturing corporations. (HNN4) Terminator an Imperial frigate that was assigned to intercept the Mon Calamari cruiser Cathleen.

Note that Wretched Hives of Scum and Villiany indicates that this was the manufacturer of the TX-1118 series of assassin droids. (WSV, AEG) Terminus this planet was located on the fringes of the Red Nebula. A world not unlike Coruscant, Terminus served as a major shipping center along a great number of hyperspace trade routes. The surface of the planet was built to enhance the natural beauty of its forests, but was nonetheless a bustling commercial center. (LTA2, MC50) Ternma this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Trenma was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "mechanic". (GCG) Terno this Kitonak musician was a vital member of the Alliance in the Minos Cluster. He regularly traveled with his band between Adarlon and Yelsain.

(FOP) Teroenza this t'landa Til was employed by Zavval the Hutt to act as the Most Exalted High Priest of Ylesia. In this position, he was actually in charge of obtaining slave labor to process the Hutt's spice for distribution. Teroenza maintained a lavish suite of offices, and used his resources to amass a wonderful collection of artifacts from across the galaxy. His art collection was extremely valuable, and he kept guards posted at all times. It was Teroenza who sent out a request for a pilot to transfer Ylesian colonists to and from the planet, as well as transport spice to the Hutts. He chose Vykk Drago, who was actually a young Han Solo. While Solo was quite good at flying starships, when he learned of the spice and slaving operations he plotted to breka free of Teroenza's employment. Working with Bria Tharen, Han managed to destroy a major processing facility and escape, but not before stealing much of Teroenza's art collections and killing Zavval during his escape. Teroenza was forced to put out a bounty on Drago. Han never was catpured, and Teroenza became increasingly disgruntled with Besadii's leaderhsip. Following Zavval's death, Kibbick was placed on Ylesia as a figurehead, answering to Aruk and Durga. Teroenza worked with Jabba and Jiliac to assassiante Aruk, and Teroenza himself murdered Kibbick. However, his part in the death of Aruk was discovered by Durga, who employed Boba Fett on a priority bounty to kill the beast. Teroenza managed to survive the initial stages of the Battle of Ylesia, and nearly captured Bria Tharen and Han Solo when Fett appeared. He killed the t'landa Til and removed its horn as proof for Durga. (TPS, THG, RD) Terpfen a Mon Calamari, and Ackbar's chief starship mechanic. When the Empire invaded Calamari, he was captured and sent to Carida for Imperial reconditioning. While there, his brain was surgically altered to remove loyalty centers. He was then used by the Empire to build star-ships, and was allowed to escape during a Rebel attack. He has been used as an Imperial spy since then. He was responsible for sabotaging Ackbar's B-Wing shuttle, which crashed into the Cathedral of Winds on Vortex. He was also responsible for planting a homing beacon on the ship Ackbar took to the planet Anoth, and he relayed the coordinates to Furgan, who used them in an attempt to kidnao Anakin Solo. A great battle ensued on Anoth, but in the end baby Anakin was rescued. Furgan tried to escape, but Terpfen used one of the MT-AT's to destroy Furgan. Terpfen later returned to Calamari to help rebuild the planet's floating cities. (DA, COTF) Terpfen this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name referred to a species of sharp, spiky coral. (GCG) Terpfen this was a species of sharp, spiky coral that was native to the oceans of the planet Mon Calamari. (GCG) Terqu, Melin this man served as the deck officer of the main hangar on deep-space platform 3DC/Green, directing traffic for the Alliance. (HAS) Terra Derida this Phindian woman was Baftu's assistant. She was in charge of securing the Syndicat's stronghold in the city of Laressa. She also was suspicious of Duenna's loyalties, but kept the Phindian woman in check with continued threats of renewal. It was later revealed that Terra was the sister of Guerra and Paxxi Derida. She had been "renewed" by the Syndicat at the age of eleven, and retrained by Baftu himself to be a member of the Syndicat. Her mother, Duenna, joined the Syndicat in hopes of returning her original memories to her, but Terra was not strong enough. Terra opposed Baftu's proposed alliance with Prince Beju of Gala, fearing that the Prince was getting more than the Syndicat, and that Baftu was spreading his power too thin. Baftu ignored her, even when she recognized that the Prince Beju who arrived on Phindar was really Obi-Wan Kenobi in disguise. When Baftu discovered that the Syndicat treasury was gone - having been recovered by Qui-Gon Jinn and the Derida brothers and returned to the Phindians - he accused Terra of stealing and covering the theft up by blaming Beju. Baftu had her executed on the spot. When her body was discovered later by Guerra and Paxxi, she died in their arms with a flood of memories about them. (HP) Terra Sool this planet, noted for its agriculture and its idyllic cloudscapes, was the site of a major Separatist emplacement during the height of the Clone Wars. Unusual, repulsor-equipped battle platforms were placed in low orbit around Terra Sool, hiding in the clouds. The disk-shaped platforms were studded with turbolasers and crewed by all manner of battle droids. The combined efforts of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were able to destroy the battle platforms before they could raze the surface of the planet. The clouds of Terra Sool were inhabited by a species of dragon-like, avian creatures. (CWA2) Terrain-Following Sensor a starship component which, when used in a planet's atmosphere, monitors a destination's location and guides the ship toward is using various terrestrial formations as guidemarkers. It can be set to fly as near or as far from the ground as desired. (HSE) Terrant Skayanestro this was the name of one the few Tarro who were living in the galaxy during the early years of the New Republic. (UANT) Terrarium City this architectural wonder, located on the now-destroyed planet of Alderaan, was created from a natural depression in the plains of the planet. The depression was deepened, expanded, then sealed to prevent any industrial waste from leaking into the earth. The depression was then filled with a liquid polymer to the level of the first section of the city. The polymer was allowed to harden, then modified battleships used their lasers to carve out the section into a series of open spaces. A three-dimensional pattern was programmed into the weapons systems of the battleships, creating the intricate floorplan envisioned by the city's designers. When one level was done, more polymer was added and etched by the space-borne lasers. In this manner, eighteen layers of living space were created in Terrarium City. Although the lasers served to harden the polymer while carving it, the polymer could be later reshaped if the inhabitants so desired. Thus, much of the city's population could create their own artwork by manipulating the walls of their dwellings. The entire city was capped by a transparent sheet, from which sprouted a number of thin spires used as turbolift shafts and waste elimination systems. (ISU) Terra-tower this was the primary form of outpost construction used by the ExGal Society. A terra-tower built upon the natural beauty of the planets the Society used to monitor extra-galactic activity, and only intruded on the planet's natural environment enough to support its sensors and communications requirements. These outposts often resembled walled forts, built to keep out the often-savage wildlife of frontier planets. (VP) Terratta this Toydarian dish was created from strips of terk hide, smothered in oil and groat milk. Note that Jedi Quest 10: The Final Showdown indicates that terratta was a form of candy. (WOTC, CCW, JQ10) Terrberry grown on the planet Parein II 4, this berry is fermented with various other ingredients to create Daranu. (GG9) Terrefel a Hapan term referring to the Selab wisdom tree. (CPL) Terrem Jesond this was a noted individual from Koorivan history.

(OWS) Terrijo System Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, realizing that a homing beacon has been attached to the Lady Luck prior to their departure from New Cov after meeting with Niles Ferrier, stopped off in the Terrijo System to drop the homing beacon there. This system was located between New Cov and Pantolomin. (DFR) Terrik this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9) Terrik this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG) Terrik Horn, Mirax a native of the planet Corellia, she was part of the crew of the Pulsar Skate. When the Skate was intercepted by the Black Asp in the Chorax System, she assisted in the rescue of Corran Horn. When she discovered it was Corran she had rescued, she was not happy. It was Corran's father who had sent her own father to Kessel. She often stayed with the family of Wedge Antilles when her father was on a dangerous run. Later, when her father tried to help Wedge Antilles track down the pirates that were responsible for his parents' deaths, Wedge and Mirax became good friends, almost like a brother and sister. When Booster was sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel, Mirax was not yet of legal age. However, that didn't stop her from taking over her father's businesses, using her own business sense to turn the operation into a profit-generating endeavor just slightly on the illegal side. Later, Mirax often helped the Alliance and the New Republic, by smuggling supplies and weapons to Alliance bases. She was an instrumental part of the plan to convoy bacta from Thyferra to Coruscant during the Krytos crisis, but was not part of the convoy when it was destroyed in the Alderaan System. Instead, she and Liat Tsayv had taken a sample of the bacta in the Pulsar Skate to Borleias for examination. The sample eventually made its way to Qlaern Hirf, who used it in the creation of rylca. Mirax reappeared on Coruscant shortly after Tycho Celchu's trial was called off. During the time leading up to the Bacta War, Mirax became increaslingly in love with Corran, despite their familial differences. When Corran asked her to marry him, shortly before the Battle of Thyferra, she quickly agreed. They were married on the Lusankya by Wedge Antilles, in the wake of the battle, in order to make sure that Booster didn't have his say. Then, they were married in an elaborate ceremony on Coruscant. While Corran continued to fly for Rogue Squadron, Mirax started her own import/export business, convincing people that they needed goods that weren't really necessary. During the Republic's struggle with Grand Admiral Thrawn, she used the business as a cover to fly supplies to, and rescue refugees from, worlds Thrawn had subjugated. When Leonia Tavira started her pirate raids, Mirax appealed to the Republic to let her help catch the young woman, for it would help free Corran up to begin thinking about having a child. However, she was captured shortly after her mission began on Nal Hutta, when the Jensaarai were able to read her intentions. She was held on Suarbi 7/5 until rescued by Corran and Luke Skywalker. (XWN, KT, BW, IJ, IR) Terrik, Booster a native of the planet Corellia, Booster was a smuggler and a starship pilot for hire. He was the original owner of the star yacht Pulsar Skate which he used in his endeavors. His wife died shortly after the birth of their daugther, Miraz, and Booster was forced to raise her aboard the Pulsar Skate on his own. Following the death of Wedge Antilles' parents on Gus Treta, Booster helped Wedge hunt down the pirates that caused the incident. They never found them, though, because Hal Horn caught up with Booster and sentenced him to five years in the correctional facility on Kessel. Booster lost his left eye while on Kessel, and had a cybernetic replacement inserted in its place. When Booster got out, he made sure that his daughter, Mirax, was able to work on her own within the law, so that she wouldn't suffer his fate. When she became involved with Rogue Squadron - and specifically Corran Horn - Booster found himself assisting the son of the man who imprisoned him. Booster did much of this for Wedge's benefit, and was more than amenable to creating a smugglers' haven in the space station orbiting Yag'Dhul, in an effort to keep the Rogues hidden after they resigned their commission to the New Republic. Booster worked hard to make the station defensible, and even installed several operable but non-functional weapons implacements. He even found proton torpedoes and concussion missiles for the Rogue's X-Wings when none were available. In a bold plan, the Rogues left the station undefended and tried to draw Ysanne Isard's forces into a trap. Booster's false defenses led the Lusankya's Captain Joak Drysso thinking that he was coming under fire from nearly 500 missile launchers and forced him to flee. The short battle led Booster to capture the Star Destroyer Virulence when Ace Squadron was dragged out of hyperspace by the gravity shadows of the station and the huge Lusankya. Booster convinced Lakwii Varrscha that the Aces were part of his defenses, and she surrendered. Booster and the Aces then took the Virulence to Thyferra and helped turn the tide of the Battle toward the Rogues. After this heroism and smart thinking, Booster asked for the Virulence in return. Airen Cracken balked at first, but Corran Horn cited an obscure salvage law that required Cracken to acknowledge Booster's right to ownership. This surprised Booster, coming from his sworn enemy's son, but that surprise was quickly overshadowed by Mirax's engagement to Horn. Talon Kaarde helped swing the deal by removing the weapons on board and selling them back to the New Republic. Booster obtained the stripped-down Virulence, and renamed it the Errant Venture. He then gutted the ship and turned it into a huge, floating, general store for smugglers and other pilots. For many years, Booster was unable to turn a profit from the ship, and spent most of his credits just keeping it running. He was recruited by his daughter and Iella Wessiri during the investigation into the whereabouts of the Lusankya prisoners, and they discovered several of the plots laid out by Ysanne Isard's clone against Rogue Squadron. However, they were too late to rescue the X-Wings from Distna. They did manage to recover Wes Janson and Asyr Sei'lar, both of whom survived. They kept the secret of their survival when Mon Mothma announced that Rogue Squadron had been destroyed. Janson was returned to Coruscant, though Asyr asked to remain "dead" in order to help change Bothan society. When Borsk Fey'lya approached Booster with a job offer, Booster listened until he discovered that Fey'lya was looking for a Bothan body to take the place of Asyr's in the tomb of the Bothan Martyrs. Fey'lya hinted that any body, even that of a criminal assassinated by one of Booster's people, would suffice. Booster was appalled, and beat Fey'lya to within an inch of his life to show his disgust. Booster later told Iella that he'd rather have Fey'lya as a direcgt enemy, rather than as a player sneaking around in the shadows. Booster was again called upon to assist the New Republic, when the existence of the Camaas Document was revealed. Booster and the Errant Venture were recruited to become the Tyrannic, as part of a ploy to recover a copy of the document from Yaga Minor. They were nearly captured in the attempt, as the Imperial forces knew that the Tyrannic was cloaked over Bothawui. However, the intervention of Admiral Pellaeon swayed the battle to the Republic's side, and the group escaped. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Booster took the Errant Venture and went into hiding. When Jaina and Jacen Solo contacted him about assisting in the rescue of the Jedi students on Yavin 4, Booster agreed primarily because his grandson, Valin Horn, was on the moon. Booster later agreed to house the students of the Jedi praxeum until a safer training facility could be set up. Led by Kam Solusar and his wife, Tionne, the Jedi students traveled to the Maw Installation, where a new facility was created for them to train in secrecy, away from the fighting and the threat of attack. Booster remained at the Maw with the Errant Venture to protect against a possible Yuuzhan Vong attack. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Booster decided that it was time to pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living. (XWN, BW, SOP, VOF, IR, EVC, NEGC, UF) Terrik, Mod an Imperial Captain, Terrik was in charge of training Davin Felth and the other stormtroopers destined for Tatooine, as part of the search effort for R2-D2 and C-3PO. Terrik's bald head helped him stand out from the rest of the recruits. Terrik was known in Imperial circles as a fearless, highly motiviated leader who was willing to sacrifice his troops. Once on Tatooine, Terrik was placed in charge of the Deserts Sands Zeta squadron, and led the attacks on the Jawa sandcrawler and the Lars homestead. These attacks angered Felth, who continued to grow more disgusted with the Empire. When Terrik ordered his troopers to fire on Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, Felth used the opportunity to shoot Terrik in the back, claiming that Terrik was a victim of the crossfire. (TME, CCG2) Terril Naval Base this Imperial Navy base was located in the city of New Calamar, on Esseles. (FOP, SWJ7) Terrina Square this public area, located on the planet Quellor, was the site of several peaceful, anti-Imperial rallies during the early years of the Galactic Civil War.

While Viqi tried to gain as much information from him as she could, Denua Ku grew impatient and simply broke Hasray's neck. As he died, Hasray provided Viqi with the access card to his family's home, in the hopes that she could escape. (EL2) Terson, Hasville this man and his wife, Adray, were the owners of the Terson Comfort Carriers airtaxi service on Coruscant, until they were killed during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

(SS) Terya this Rodian worked for Shalo, on the planet Tatooine, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (EVR) Tesar Sebatyne this Barabel and his hatchmates, Bela and Krasov Hara, were trained under the tutelage of Tesar's mother, Master Saba Sebatyne, as members of the Wild Knights before joining Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Knights during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Tesar was the only one of the hatchmates who were Saba's direct kin; Bela and Krasov shared a different mother. One of the females shared the same father as Tesar, but Master Saba had no idea which one it was. The three hatchmates shared a deep, jovial bond, and often shared a sissing kind of laughter at one of their many in-jokes. The three students joined the Jedi strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr, in an effort to locate and destroy the voxyn queen. Tesar managed to survive the assault, and later served as one of Jaina Solo's Lieutenants in the Twin Suns Squadron. After Zonama Sekot reappeared near Coruscant, Tesar served as part of the defensive fleet which protected the planet from attack by the Yuuzhan Vong, a mission which was made all the more important while other Jedi Knights trained to fly aboard their new Sekotan starships. (SBS, Y, UF) Tesc, Dynba this young woman was a college student at Garqi Ag University when she was captured by Prefect Mosh Barris during an anti-Imperial demonstration. She didn't understand the game she was playing, until she was eventually rescued by Corran Horn. Horn, posing as Eamon Yzalli, had her freed from Barris' prison so that she could pose as Kirtana Loor. She was to gather all her resistance confederates and bring them to liberate the Star's Delight, just as Kirtana brought the crew from the prison. She fled from Garqi with Horn, in an effort to escape the Imperial persecution on the planet, and met Captain Dromath. They fell in love and got married, having a son named Rade before Dromath died in the battles against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Dynba returned to Garqi after his death, but was killed in the initial stages of Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the planet. Her legacy lived on in her son, Rade, who opened her storehouses of supplies and weapons and started an underground resistance against the Vong. (SWJ7, TFE, DTR) Tescia this young Ferroan girl revealed that Obi-Wan Kenobi had once been on Zonama Sekot, when Luke Skywalker and the his fellow Jedi located the planet during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Like many Ferroan children, Tescia had heard the stories of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi from her parents. She held none of the bitterness toward the Jedi that her parents did, however, never having experienced one of the many Crossings Zonama Sekot had taken to escape the rest of the galaxy. After Sekot decided to help the Jedi Knights end the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, Tescia declared that the first order of business should be the reclamation of Coruscant. She had heard of the city-world from the stories of Anakin Skywalker, and hoped one day to see the world herself. (FH3) Tesfli Piercer this species of flying insect was native to the planet Gorsh, and was known to carry the "rotting disease." (PG1) Teshek this herd beast is native to the planet Carosi XII. (PG2) Teshik, Osvald this Imperial Grand Admiral was in command of the fleets which patrolled Darpa and Bormea Sectors during the height of the New Order. Teshik had been promoted to the position of Grand Admiral after Emperor Palpatine sent him on a doomed mission against a Hapan battle fleet. Teshik managed to survive, but the majority of his body sustained permanent damage and had to be cyborged. This sudden change turned Teshik inward, and he completely cut himself off from any form of emotion. Palpatine then personally charged Teshik with security in the Ringali Shell, and threatened to execute Teshik if the situation with the privateer vessel Far Orbit wasn't resolved. At the Battle of Endor, Teshik was aboard the second Death Star when the Alliance attack. As the station crumbled around him, Teshik was pinned beneath a falling column. Only a construction worker stopped to help him, freeing teshik and dragging him to safety. Old emotions began to resurface, and Teshik personally rallied the diminished Imperial fleet and continued to battle against the Alliance for more than three hours after the Death Star exploded. Teshik and his ship, the Eleemosynary were then captured by the Alliance, and Teshik was executed for crimes he committed in the name of the Empire. (FOP, SWI66) Tesker's Auction House located in the city of Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, this auction house was one of the primary outlets for all manner of government surplus during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LFCW) Tessek a Quarren who was one of Jabba the Hutt's Chief Lieutenants at his palace on Tatooine, Tessek was involved in a number of intrigues. He was working with Prefect Talmont in a plot to kill Jabba, while secretly bribing Talmont's men into killing both Jabba and Talmont. He would then sell any and all of Jabba's criminal empire to Lady Valarian. He planned to keep most of Jabba's "clean" business operations for himself. He had already manipulated many of these businesses into lucrative ventures, with Jabba's blessing. It was Tessek, however, who handled their day-to-day operation, not Jabba, although Jabba was the one listed as the owner. Tessek had managed to bribe into employment many of Jabba's henchmen, including Ree-Yees, Barada, and many of the Weequays. However, when Tessek encountered a disembodied B'omarr monk who seemed to known all of his plans, Tessek began to panic. He had planted a bomb on Jabba's supply skiff, which he would explode when Jabba left the palace. His plan was to have Talmont intercept the barge at Jabba's Mos Eisley warehouse, where both would die. However, the presence of Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker in the palace put many of Tessek's plans in disarray. He tried to warn Jabba of the danger posed by the Alliance, hoping to keep the Hutt in Mos Eisley. Jabba, though, began to distrust Tessek, and ordered him to accompany the sail barge to the Pit of Carkoon. Tessek was trapped. It was Tessek who finally put all the pieces of Luke Skywalker's plan to free Han Solo and destroy Jabba, but the only audience he could find to hear him out was Ephant Mon, who later linked Tessek to an Imperial plot to destroy Jabba. Tessek tried to escape the palace, but he was intercepted by Ortugg, who held him in the palace until Jabba was ready to depart. Jabba then demanded that Tessek stay near him. When Skywalker's plan went into action, Tessek played along with it, shooting a Weequay who would have stopped Leia from strangling Jabba. Tessek managed to escape Jabba's sail barge before it exploded, and returned to the palace. There, he was captured by the B'omarr monks and his brain was disassociated from his body. As an acolyte, he learned that he had more in common with Skywalker, Organa, and Han Solo than he did with Jabba's ilk, and found the true meaning of freedom. (XW, MTS, TJP) Tessek this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and referred to an ocean predator that was known for its ability to viciously attack without being discovered. (GCG) Tessek this Old Republic Senator was one of Senator Palpatine's stronger supporters. (COD) Tessek this fast-swimming predator was native to the oceans of Mon Calamari, and was revered among the Quarren for the way it could attack and cause damage without being noticed. (GCG) Tessent the history of this chalcedony idol was shrouded in mystery. During the early years of the New Republic, rumors and legends of the Tessent began to spring up throughout the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, after the Imperial presence in the galaxy was removed. It was believed to have been buried on Ast Kikorie, in the tomb of a Dark Jedi, or hidden in a mine on Vasha. These tales and many others drew treasure seekers to the Moddell Sector throughout the era of the New Order, but the Tessent was never found. As more and more lore about the Tessent became known, it was revealed that there were actually two Tessents. Both appeared to be birds with feline heads, but one was attributed to the Ayrou of Maya Kovel, while the other was a representation of the guardian of the ancient Kings of Archais who united Alsakan under a common leader. The Alsakan Tessent was a symbol of patriotism, although many treasure hunters believed that it was also the key to unlocking an ancient storehouse full of riches. Modern rumors pointed to the presence of at least one of the Tessents somewhere in the Kuna systems located in Moddell Sector. (GMR9) Tesser this X'Ting warrior was the first of Jesson Di Blinth's hive-brothers to attempt to locate the hidden eggs of the royal line, during the last years of the Old Republic. Tesser had managed to penetrate the Hall of Heroes, but was unprepared for the attacks of the huge worms that were hidden beneath it. Tesser was unable to defeat the worms, so he strapped himself to a high crevice and waited for another chance to escape. Unfortunately, no such chance ever came, and no other X'Ting could locate him, and so Tesser died in his position. Later, Jesson discovered Tesser's body during his own attempt to locate the eggs. (HIV) Tessera this Imperial shuttle was part of the ship complement of the Star Destroyer Vengeance. Captain Thrawn used it to travel planetside. (GOF8) Tesserahedron this pirate ship was a modified PB-950 patrol boat, owned by a group of Duros until it was purchased by their astrogator, the Givin Chrag'mak'al.

(GG10) Tessra, Lun this Imperial Captain commanded the 37th Imperial Fighter Wing aboard the Abrogator during the early years of the New Order. He was in command of the fleet which subdued the Lortan fanatics during the Reslian Purge. However, his pilots felt no loyalty to him during the battles because Tessra was a few weeks from completing his tour of duty, and held back in order to avoid being killed. His place as leader of the 37th was eventually taken by Soontir Fel, and Tessra was given command of a group sent to destroy several Alliance outposts. However, many of his missions ended in failure, and he was re-assigned to the 37th. Fel stepped aside to allow Tessra to take command, while Fel opted to remain a pilot. (MBF) Tessun Kel this was a note Dashade individual from the ancient histories of the planet Urkupp. (UANT) Tessus this Alliance Corporal was the chief of security in Neskroff, on the planet Isis.

(SP) Testarr Sector this area of the galaxy was roamed by the bounty hunter Yarr Gatonne during the early years of the New Republic. (WBC) Testing Screen this device, also known as an image emitter, was developed by the Jedi Council to test the telepathic abilities of Jedi trainees. It had no buttons or controls, and was manipulated solely via the Force. Contained in the memory banks of the screen were thousands of pictures, which could be displayed randomly or chosen by the user through the Force. This assured that a trainee couldn't oversee what the Master was doing, and guess at a correct answer. Using the screen, a Master could project into it a succession of images, which the trainee would have to interpret via their connection to the Force. (SW1, IG1, PJSB) Teta this strong-willed female warrior conquered the system of stars and planets now known as the Empress Teta System, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. In what historians refer to as the First Unification Wars, Teta conquered seven major systems and their primary worlds, including the Koros System. She moved her seat of power to the city of Cinnagar, on Koros Major, and ruled with a fair but strict hand some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. She was aided in her unification of the systems by the Jedi Knights, who realized that stability in the region would allow it to join the galactic community and benefit from trade and commerce. She was assisted by Memit Nadill and Odan-Urr, whom she trusted implicitly. So, when Odan-Urr had a vision foretelling the rise of the Sith Empire, Teta believed him and took him to Coruscant to tell the rulers of the galaxy. When they laughed at him and believed him to be an impulsive young Jedi, Teta returned to Cinnagar to prepare her worlds for the attack. Shortly before the Sith rose up, Jori Daragon returned to Cinnagar and was shot down over Teta's palace. The arrival of the frightened young woman only hardened Teta's resolve to protect her worlds. In what became known as the Great Hyperspace War, the Tetan forces - led by Jori Daragon, using information provided by her brother, Gav - soundly defeated the Sith fleet near the Denarii Nova. She rewarded Jori by giving her the rights to own and operate Aarrba the Hutt's starship repair facility. Teta was succeeded by a number of heirs, but over the centuries the government became fragmented. (DE1, GAS, FOSE, SWJ14, PH) Tet-Ami known as the Time Guardian, this was the unusual being who appeared on the planet Benja-Rihn some 4,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, and helped the natives of Carthas defeat a swarm of savage beasts. Tet-Ami was rumored to control the Orb of Passage, which in turn could control time itself. In a strange twist of reality, Tet-Ami was actually the Jedi Master, Mace Windu. Legends and prophecies predicted that Mace Windu would return the Orb of Passage to the Temple of Tet-Ami, and the Jedi Council guarded the Orb while awaiting the birth of Mace Windu. They then bided their time, never interfering but monitoring the progress of Windu's training. Only when Mace Windu became a full Jedi would the Council relax. Their time to act came when Kruy Mulacks discovered the Temple of Tet-Ami on Benja-Rhin, and the Council had to return the Orb to its resting place. Mace Windu was sent to Benja-Rihn, where he entered the Temple and restored the Orb. It was during this mission that the Orb drew him back in time, where he was able to rescue the natives of Carthas from the attack of the savage beasts. (T13) Tetan this was the name adopted by the human natives of the planet Empress Teta. It eventually came to describe any of the humans who inhabited the Empress Teta System of the Deep Core. (PH) Tetan Crown Jewels this collection of bejeweled artifacts contained the ceremonial headdresses and heirloom gemstones once held by Empress Teta herself. Over the millennia since her death, most of the items were recovered and returned to the Teta System's museums for archival. Several pieces, including Teta's Knives, remained missing even during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ14) Tetan Elite aristocrats from the Empress Teta system who turned to the Dark Side of The Force. (DE1, DLS) Tetan Interceptor originally known as the Koros Interceptor, this planetary defense fighter was developed in the wake of the Great Hyperspace War on the planet Koros Major. When the planet was renamed Empress Teta, the ship became known as the Tetan Interceptor. The four-winged fighter was distinguished by the forward mandibles that protected the cockpit, and which housed the communications and sensor systems. A laser cannon was mounted at the tip fo each wing, and an ion cannon was mounted on the nose of the ship. From tip to tail, the Tetan Interceptor measured 14.2 meters in length. The ship required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. Because its primary mission profile was planetary defense, the Tetan Interceptor was not equipped with a hyperdrive. (PH) Tetan Shocktroopers name given to the warriors of the Krath who wore ancient ceremonial armor. They had been warped by the Dark Side influence of Satal Keto and Aleema, and many shocktrooper pilots willingly went on suicide missions in which they flew their fighters into the opposition's command ships. (DLS) Tetanne this Adumari nation was crushed by the forces of the nation of Cartann, which were led by Pekaelic ke Teldan in his youth. Years later, during the Adumari negotiations with the New Republic and the Empire, Tetanne sided with the nations of Yedagon and Halbegardia in oppposing ke Teldan's plan for a Cartann-based world government. (SOA) Tetano this was the name used by the people who lived in the nation of Tetanna, on the planet Adumar. (SOA) Teta's Knives this pair of bejeweled blades were used by Empress Teta herself, as her preferred hand weapon. These knives were considered part of the Tetan Crown Jewels, but were among a small portion of the treasure which was lost over time. (SWJ14) Teth this planet was controlled by Moff Sarn Shild during the early years of the New Order. He had a palatial estate on the planet, and used it as a gathering place for the fleet which attacked Nar Shaddaa. Teth was located in the Outer Rim Territories, near both the Corporate Sector and Hutt space, and so was strategic to Shild's attack on Nar Shaddaa. Teth's location led its leaders to believe that it was safe from Imperial domination. Bria Tharen met with the planet's leaders, hoping to incite them to open rebellion, but she failed. Boba Fett tracked her here, but lost her when she left the meeting. (THG, RD) Tethys this man served as an Imperial Moff during the last years of the New Order.

The Teyr carried the 50 clone commandos that had been assigned to Halcyon's task force. (JT) Teyr a Fallanassi school world, Teyr was the site of a devastating battle during the Clone Wars, in which Separatist forces handily defeated the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic. Many decades later, Teyr became a boom world after the Battle of Endor, and much of its economic growth was a result of increased tourism. However, the natives didn't tolerate off-worlders very well, and required that visitors abide by a series of visitors' guidelines. The local police forces tended to favor natives over off-worlders in any dispute, and they subtly encouraged visitors not to stay on Teyr too long. (BTS, SOL, SHPT) Teyr Rift this spectacular natural landmark is one of the major tourist attractions on the planet Teyr. Much of its length is accessible by the Rift Skyrail. (SOL) Teyr Tours this publications provided information for tourists who visited the planet Teyr. (SOL) Teyria this term is used by the natives of the planet Teyr to describe themselves.

(PG3) Tfin this Alliance General was captured, along with General Wuvnir, by the bounty hunter Kal-tan-shi on the planet Yhuli. (AIR) T-Force a group of Alliance Corvettes helping the Tantive IV elude Imperial detection while on its mission to Ralltiir.

(SFT) TG-421 this stormtrooper was part of the squadron under the command of Alijah Orr, on Shesharile 5. He and his detachment were ordered to search shipments that were suspected to be illegal weapons. When Orr impounded the Lumrunner, TG-421's group discovered that Shamus Falconi's cargo was preserved with Anti-Corr 113. The entire group was soon covered with the stuff, which turned their white armor a pasty shade of blue. (SWJ9) TG69-75 this was the dedicated frequency of the hyperspace beacon located near Tatooine. (SWTJ) TGM Protein Fruit Concentrate Refresher this beverage, produced by the technology corporation TransGalMeg Industries, is a staple of the company's employees. (TA) T'Grel this searing ball of rock was the second world of the N'zoth System. (CCW) TH.X1.1.3.8 this was the designation of the primary HoloNet node on the planet Thaere Privo, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Note that this is another reference to George Lucas' first major film, THX-1138. (LFCW) Thabit this planet was located in the Six Local Systems. (GMR6) Thackery this New Republic warship was assigned to blockade the planet Galantos to stop the advance of the Yevethan Purge. (SOL) Thaere Privo this was the second world of the Thaere System. During the Old Republic, this temperate world was populated by Bothans, Humans, and Sullustans, and was the base of the Thaereian Military. The Thaere System was located along the Corellian Spine, providing easy access to and from Thaerae Privo and the neighboring Cularin System. Because of its proximity to the Corellian Spine, Thaere Privo became a regular, though undistinguished, trading center for the surrounding systems. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Thaereians began to make overt motions toward controlling the Cularin System, despite reassurances to the contrary from Thurm Loogg. The exact intentions of the Thaereian Military were unknown to the natives of Cularin, although many feared that the Thaereians were in league with Count Dooku and the Separatists. When the Clone Wars broke out, the government of Thaere Privo applied for, and received, a Republic Charter for defense of the Cularin System, giving them complete military control over the system with the blessing of the Old Republic. (LFCW) Thaereian Military this police organization's stated mission was "to protect the citizens of Cularin from domestic disturbances localized in the asteroid belt." Active during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo, the Thaereian Military was one of the many groups which handled intra-system military defense, before the Old Republic consolidated such control under their own military. Originally based on the three planets of the Thaere System, as well as the moon of Lonus Woud, the Thaereian Military was considered overly large for the system it protected, even during its earliest stages. The Military later expanded beyond its system boundaries, to fill the void which existed before the Old Republic began taking an interest in the defense of individual systems. This was especially true in the Cularin System, where the population became more and more lawless over the centuries, as smugglers and crimelords established bases in the Cularin System's asteroid belt. The Thaeraian Military appointed to protect the Cularin System by the Galactic Senate, much to the chagrin of the Cularin natives. Some time later, it was discovered that the Thaereians had been working with Eelo Begraas in developing starfighter attack techniques, although their exact nature and necessity were unknown. When Cularin suddenly disappeared from the system, then reappeared just as suddenly, the Cularin Militia discovered that the Thaereians had brought in a huge number of starships to the Cularin System. While the Thaereian Military, under the command of Admiral Jir Tramsig, claimed that the build-up was for the protection of the Cularin System after the near-disaster on Cularin, the Cularin Militia remained on high alert in case a war was started. Despite assurances from the Thaereian leaders that there were just 10,000 troops protecting Cularin, underground sources discovered that more than 173,000 troops were actually ready for battle. The revelation of this fact, coupled with the existence of The Burnout space station, led many Cularin natives to believe the Thaereian Military was not what it seemed. After rumors of Thaere's ties to the InterGalactic Banking Clan were reported on Eye on Cularin, open opposition to the Thaereian Military began to grow. Graffiti and stickers with the letters TINYF - standing for "Thaere Is Not Your Friend" - began to show up all over Cularin. The true depth of Thaere's alliance with the Separatists was revealed when Operation False Horizon was launched. With the onset of the Clone Wars, the Thaereian Military applied for and received military authorization to defend the Cularin System under a Republic Charter, much to the dismay of the inhabitants of the Cularin System. This action effectively meant that the entire system was under the control of the Thaereians, ostensibly with the full support of the Old Republic. (LFC, LFCW) Thaffal this Korunnai was one of the Akk Guards who served under Kar Vastor, on the planet Haruun Kal, druing the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When Jedi Master Mace Windu arrived on the planet to recover Depa Billaba, Thaffal was one of several Akk Guards who physically opposed Windu's attempts. When Thaffal challenged Windu, the Jedi Master simply head-butted Thaffal in the nose. Despite a badly broken nose, Thaffal continued to serve Vastor, and made sure to show Windu his anger at every moment. However, when Master Windu decided to win the Summertime War by defeating the Separatist forces supporting the Balawai, Thaffal and the Akk Guards made sure to take their own fight to the Balawai. In the attempt to stop Windu's plans to reach the droid control system in Pelek Baw, Thaffal and the Akk Guards attacked the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic who were supporting the Jedi. In the battle, Thaffal was shot in the knee and then killed by Nick Rostu. (SHPT) Thaffe this Imperial Navy drill instructor was accused of murder on an orbital station during his hitch. Spruch Goa was the Intelligence investigator at the time, and he solved the crime, absolving Thaffe from any guilt. When they both were discharged, they teamed up and joined the local Sector Rangers. When they began investigating a counterfeit credit scam set up by Jabba the Hutt, they met Dyyz Nataz. All three were captured by Gank Killers and tortured, although none of them revealed any useful information. The Ganks then made the three play sabacc to see who would be killed first. Thaffe threw the game to save Goa, and was shot on the spot. Goa and Nataz went berserk, killing the Ganks and destroying Jabba's palace. (DESB) Thaissen Crystal found only on the planet Circarpous V, these unusual crystals glowed slightly when in the presence of the Force.

(WS) Thakwaash this was another name for the Thakwaese language. (GMR9) Thakwaash this alien race was native to the planet Thakwaa. They were tall, lean humanoids covered with short, brown fur. Their faces were elongated, and were dominated by broad, flat noses and wide mouths. Many other races likened their facial features to those of the Gungans, although the Thawkaash ears were much smaller. The hair on the head of a Thakwaash was considered quite beautiful, being full-bodied and deeply colored. One of the unique things about the Thakwaash was that each individual was a collection of separate minds, any one of which can take control of the individual's mind and act. (WS, GMR9) Thakwaese this was the native langauge of the Thakwaash race.

Malinza was as beautiful as her mother, with her left eye being green and her right eye being grey. She was also a gifted musician, and received a prodigy chair with the Bakuran National Symphony. However, her experience with politics led her to form the Freedom movement, in an effort to ensure Bakura was able to stand on its own in the galaxy. Much of the impetus behind the Freedom movement came from the loss of Malinza's parents, especially Gaeriel Captison's death at Corellia. Malinza believed that Bakura had been forced to lend its warships to the Republic's efforts to smash the Sacorrian Triad, and hated being beholden to the Republic. She used her name and her contacts to ensure that Freedom was considered a legitimate organization, and began rallying the Bakuran people to work toward establishing their freedom from the New Republic and the rest of the galaxy. She secretly accepted funding from Deputy prime Minister Blaine Harris, realizing that Freedom couldnb't operate without credits to support its efforts. Inside, Malinza felt that it was in Bakura's best interests to join the New Republic in an effort to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong, but her belief in the Cosmic Balance made her oppose the Republic. She feared that other members of her family would die if the Republic successfully repelled the alien invaders. After Prime Minister Cundertol was exposed as a traitor to Bakura, Vyram and Malinza were sentenced to "rehabilitation" for their part in the Freedom movement.

The new commander ordered Thanas to wipe out the village, and he refused. While on Bakura, he began questioning his belief in the Emperor's New Order. After the attack by the Ssi-ruuk and the Alliance's offer of aid, Thanas only became more disturbed by the New Order's ideal.

He argued that the Consortium should remain neutral, since the Yuuzhan Vong has thus far left the Hapes Cluster alone. Thane and his supporters formed a sizable portion of the Consortium, and threatened to keep the Hapans out of the struggle. However, he challenged Prince Isolder to a duel, after Isolder confronted him. Isolder won the challenge, forcing Thane to throw his vote toward helping the New Republic.

Just after completing her undergraduate studies in preparation for advanced schooling on Coruscant, she sold her jewelry and joined the religious colony on Ylesia to begin worshipping the Oneness. She became deeply addicted to the Exaltation performed by the t'landa Til, and so worked extra hard in the spice mines, hoping to achieve a higher state of understanding. It was about a year after she joined the colony that she met Han Solo. Their friendship grew steadily, much to Bria's dismay, for she was a devoted follower of the t'landa Til religion. However, it was Han who discovered her love of archaeology, and this led to Teroenza assigner her the position of archival and cataloguer of his collection fo treasures. Bria was happiest at this point as a pilgrim, and allowed herself to become more and more attached to Han. When Han told her of the true nature of the Ylesian colonies, she initially thought he was lying in order to win her over. She eventually came to realize that he was right after forcing herself to observe the t'landa Til during Exaltations, and worked with Han to escape from the planet. After attending the wedding of Muuurgh and Mrrov on Togoria, they returned to Bria's family holdings on Corellia. There, Han's years of swoop riding and scheming with Garris Shrike came back to haunt him, as Bria's brother and former fiancé' recognized him as someone else. They were forced to leave Corellia, but not without the support of her fatherm, Renn. They went to Coruscant, where the t'landa Til and the Hutts tried to capture them for their escape from Ylesia. Bria, burdened by the emotional detachment from the Exaltation and by the presumed impediment to Han's career, left him one day and returned on her own to Corellia. After this, Bria met up with Lanah Malo, and began a crusade against the Hutts and the t'landa Til. She remained on or near Corellia for four years, working with underground resistance there, then disappeared. She resurfaced on Devaron, and was nearly discovered by Han, who was there looking for work. Bria had been serving as Admiral Trefaren's assistant. At this time, Aruk the Hutt placed a 50,000-credit bounty on her live capture. Bria eventually joined the Alliance, and rose quickly through the ranks. She was the mastermind behind the Red Hand Squadron, and was the primary proponent of the tactics used in the Battle of Ylesia. She was successful in bringing down the Besadii operation there, and secured a huge amount of funding for the Alliance be taking artifacts, spice, and loose credits from the operations there. This angered Han and the smugglers who helped in the battle, for they thought they were going to be paid. This was the final time she parted ways with Han. She then accepted an assignment to support the resistance on Toprawa, where they had received the plans fo the first Death Star. As the Empire tracked the plans to the planet, they struck with incredible force. Most of Red Hand Squadron was killed supporting the resistance, and Bria took a suicide capsule before she could be captured.

When Bria returned from Ylesia with Han Solo, Pavik was suspicious of the young man, both from a selfish desire to protect his wealth and from genuine concern for his sister. Later, it was Pavik who recognized Han from one of the many scams he ran with Garris Shrike, precipitating Han and Bria fleeing Corellia.

Renn married a young woman named Sera, who bore him two children: a son named Pavik and a daughter named Bria. Sera's social machinations grated on Renn, who was unable to confront his wife until Bria returned from Ylesia with Han Solo. Renn felt a bond with Han, and recognized that the young man - no matter what his past held - could someday become a true hero in his own right. He chided both Sera and Pavik for worrying only about their inheritances, and chose to provide Han and Brea with enough credits to get to Coruscant and try to establish a life for themselves.

After Sera manipulated Bria into an engagement with Dael Levare, Brea fled the family to join the pseudo-religious colony on Ylesia, and was not heard from for a year. When she returned, Sera immediately began to harp on her daughter. It didn't help that Bria returned with Han Solo, a youth Sera held in low regard because of his origins as a street orphan. Sera invited Dael into the house for lunch, in hopes of driving Han away in shame. When Pavik recognized Han as a con artist who used to work for Garris Shrike, Sera became increasingly agitated. She demanded that he leave, but Renn intervened. Angered and annoyed at Sera's lack of family values, Renn blamed her for Bria's disappearance and praised Han for returning her.

After the Battle of Endor, the book was translated from the Selkath language into Basic, for reading and investigation by the rest of the galaxy. It was then that people realized the Selkath had been visited by Darth Vader, not a saving Jedi as many had suspected. The memoirs told of the swift way in which the Selkath infiltrated the Imperial base and eliminated any opposition. Their attack was so fast that the base Commander could only order a retreat in the face of it, leaving the tourists who had traveled to Manaan behind. However, the Selkath didn't stop at killing the Imperials. They found themselves possessed by a bloodlust that consumed them, and they slaughtered the innocent tourists as well.

(CCG9) Theed founded 800 years before the Battle of Naboo, this is the capital city of the planet Naboo. Theed is surrounded by water, although it sits at the edge of an unusually tall steppelandand. The city is surrounded by numerous waterfalls which have formed over the millennia. (SW1, IWE1) Theed Arms this small weapons manufacturer was based on the planet Naboo, and supplied a variety of weapons to the armed forces and royalty of Naboo. It was originally founded by Captain Panaka, in order to produce the weaponry needed for the Royal Naboo Security Force. (SON, NEGW) Theed Cruiser this form of starship was produced by starshipwrights on the planet Naboo, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. They were named in honor of the capital city of Theed, and were built to exacting and over-engineered standards of safety and reliability. (BF4) Theed Generator this was the name given to the immense, power-producing facility which was located in the city of Theed, on the planet Naboo. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Theed Generator operated constantly, drawing raw plasma energy from the core of the planet and converting it into usable power for much of the population of Naboo. It even supplied power to Kwilaan Starport. During the Battle of Naboo, the Theed Generator was the site of an epic lightsaber battle between Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Maul. In the end, only Obi-Wan Kenobi survived the battle. (SON) Theed Palace this primary seat of the Naboo government, the Palace dominated the incredibly beautiful city of Theed. Deep in its core, the Naboo had built a power generator that took plasma energy directly from the planet's core and harnessed it to create electricity and heat. Adjacent to the Palace, across tributaries of the Solleu River, was the hangar in which the royal family maintained their starship, and in which the Space Fighter Corps maintained their small fleet of N-1 starfighters. It was a royal family tradition that each new ruler of the planet Naboo add a tower or turret to the Palace, and to enhance the beauty of existing structures. (IWE1) Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps this Naboo manufacturer created most of the starship designs used in the royal volunteer fleet, including the J-type transport used by Queen Amidala and the N-1 fighter. (X1) Theed School of Technology and Engineering this was one of the most prestigious schools for technology and engineering, located on the planet Naboo in the capital city of Theed. (GMR1) Theed Spaceport built with speed and urgency in the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Theed Spaceport was a utilitarian spaceport designed to handle the traffic of visitors and tourists as well as three diplomats: Queen Jamillia, Senator Padme' Amidala, and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The Naboo built the spaceport on the lowlands below the cliffs that supported the city of Theed and the royal hangar. Construction of the spaceport was funded by the reparations received from the settlements provided after the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo. The builders maintained a certain level of aesthetic, however, given the main platform a sweeping, elegant curve that matched the cliffside. (IWE2) Theek this was the Jawa word for "run." (T4) Theelin a near-human species that has been bred out of existence. (DE1) Theen Fida this Anx was a student of the Force, training under Jedi Master Tsui Choi in the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Theen Fida and Tsui Choi were part of a team dispatched to Yitheeth to locate the Yinchorri command center. After discovering that the Yonchorri were not on the water-covered world, the team traveled to Yinchorr itself to meet up with Mace Windu's team. Unfortunately for Master Choi, Theen Fida was killed by Yinchorri warriors while guarding the Jedi's remaining starship. (AOW) Theen Ocean this was the smallest of the three seas located on the planet Genesia. (FBS) Thek, Gadon this dark-skinned man, a native of the Lower City of Taris, was the leader of the Hidden Bek swoop gang during the height of the Great Sith War, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. As a member of the Hidden Bek, Gadon had seen the Black Vulkars move in an take control of the planet, and he held no love whatsoever for Davik Kang. (KOTOR) Thel this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9) Thelaa this contemporary of Hari Seldona was a student at Alderaan University, and a secret dissident during the rise of the New Order. She was a quiet student of music, and heralded from a backwater world that has thus far avoided Imperial invasion. She had a good deal of promise, but the oppression of the Empire seemed to dampen her creative spirit. It was later discovered that many of her later works were actually plagiarized versions of works created by the forgotten composer Salyer. She was expelled, and she fled into the wilderness where she had been secretly running guns to the Alliance. She was captured by Imperial agents who had been following her, and was subjected to deep interrogation. The agents tried to have her transported to the newly-arrived Death Star for further interrogation, but their calls were ignored. Thelaa and her torturers were killed when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. (ISU) Thella this woman led a group of infiltrators to Kelada, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ6) Thel-Tanis, Darra this young girl was training to be a Jedi Knight, under the tutelage of Soara Antana, at the same time Anakin Skywalker was training with Obi-Wan Kenobi, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. She was easily distinguished by her bright, copper- and -gold-colored hair, and by the ribbons she wove into her Padawan braid. Darra was badly injured during a mission to rescue Old Republic scientists on Haariden, after taking a blaster bolt in the thigh. Note that Jedi Quest: The False Peace indicates that Darra was injured on Norah. The bolt had been laced with a chemical charge, and she went into shock almost immediately. She recovered from her injuries, and later helped her Master oversee the relief efforts on the planet Nuralee. Despite her trials, Darra was known among her fellows studetns as a bright and shining individual, full of life and gusto that was infectious. Darra and Master Antana were later chosen as part of a four-pair team to travel to Korriban and apprehend Granta Omega and Jenna Zan Arbor. Darra, along with Anakin and fellow students Tru Veld and Ferus Olin, accompanied their Masters to Korriban. On the remote world, they found themselves besieged by the Dark Side of the Force, and the Padawans were helpless as Anakin began to argue with them at every turn. They realized that Ferus - not Anakin - had been chosen for early promotion to the rank of Jedi Knight, but couldn't understand why Anakin would allow his anger to come before the mission. After Tru was hurt, the team regrouped for a final attack. In the battle, Darra was forced to leap in front of several blaster bolts to protect Ferus. She took the blasts in the chest, and later died from her injuries. Note that Jedi Quest: The False Peace also names this character as Darra Haariden. (JQ1, JQ4, JQ9, JQ10) Thelvin Order of Barundi this sect sought to completely isolate itself from the rest of galactic society, several thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. To ensure their isolation, the Thelvins even developed their own language, allowing them to speak amongst themselves without being understood. The basis of the Thelvin Order was the attainment of perpetual happiness, and their society's laws were very strict in promoting this happiness. Any member of society which did not work toward harmony was subject to immediate capital punishment, and were beaten to death with thorny flowers which exuded a deadly poison. (UYV) Themfar this was a potent neurotoxin developed by the Malkite Poisoners, during the height of the New Order. (EGW, AEG) Themion this man was a member of the police force on Eriadu, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Themion was in charge of the interrogation of Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, after they tried to save the life of Kelbis Nu. (EVR) Themog this former member of the Corellian Security Force was drummed out of the force after being wounded in an argument with a suspect. The injury left him without the use of his left eye, which he covered with a black patch like a pirate. The suspect admitted that he had tried to bribe Themog into releasing him, but later testified that Themog tried to raise the amount of the bribe before accepting it. Exiled from law enforcement, Themog eventually turned to a life of crime, and became the crimelord controlled who much of the underground activity on the planet Chrona, during the early years of the New Republic. Themog worked to strengthen his position of power by bribing Arno Gallorr and Moira Kruger, hoping to counteract the work of Mortris Gallorr to free the planet from criminal control. Unknown to most, he was also romantically involved with Moira, and convinced her to allow him to use the Grinder Dance Hall as a hideout. When Mortris began hiring mercenaries to protect the citizens of Corestrike, Themog kidnapped Mortris, his grandson Selmar, and his daughter-in-law Serise. He held them ransom against a group of determined freelance protectors, until his thugs were defeated and Themog was defeated in a firefight. (SWJ12) Thene' this is the capital city of the planet Marngar III. The Imperial university's main campus on the planet is located here. (SWJ4) Thennes this was one of the two largest agricultural centers found on the planet Krant. Like Peche, Thennes was protected by a token police force during the last decades of the Old Republic. (GBC) Thennqora a alien race which greatly influenced Saffa paintings, after they made initial contact several millenia before the Galactic Civil War. (HTTE) Thent Squadron this was a group of Army troopers dispatched by the Empire to overtake the New Republic base on Saarn, shortly after the re-appearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (SWJ6) Theonnrl this alien was a noted forger who worked from a base on Balmorra during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN) Theory of Universal Reference this was the name given to the scientific discoveries of the ancient Drall scientist Tiran, who proved that space and time were connected, and that the speed of light was an absolute bonudary that could not be crossed. His theories were proven some 10,000 years before the discovery of hyperspace, and were once deemed to be irrefutable. Millennia later, investigation into the Theory revealed that it did not preclude an object traveling faster than light; it just prohibited an object traveling at the speed of light. (MBS) Theosidicc Sirrap Treblif this Elomin author wrote The History of Two Peoples, One Planet. (GG12) Theran Listeners the members of this cult of Force-sensitive individuals could sometimes hear the voices of the Spook crystals through the Force. Found mainly on the planet Nam Choris, they were the latter-day versions of the prophet Theras, and often had healing powers as well as insight and foresight. (UF) Therangen this black rock was used as a fuel source by many primitive races, but was known to be unstable and volatile if handled improperly. (KOTOR) Therans this group of Oldtimers from the planet Nam Chorios followed the word of the prophet Theras, and strove to keep inbound and outbound traffic away from the planet. The exact reason for their actions was lost over several centuries, but the Therans continued to drive off larger ships, an action deemed by the Newcomers as an attempt to keep Nam Chorios isolated from the galaxy. A civil war of sorts between the Therans and the Newcomers raged for a number of years until the basis for the feud was revealed by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa-Solo. (POT) Theras one of the original political prisoners left on the planet Nam Chorios by the Grissmaths, Theras was attuned to the Force. He was contacted by the Spook crystals, which had realized that the drochs used to kill the prisoners were growing in power. The Spooks feared that the drochs would leave Nam Chorios and inflict the galaxy, and used Theras as a sort of prophet. He brought word to the Oldtimers that the drochs could secret themselves on any ship leaving the planet, and that ships of large size could house enough drochs to consume the galaxy. Theras and his followers reworked the planetary defenses to fire on incoming and outgoing ships over a certain mass, in an effort to prevent the drochs from leaving. (POT) Ther-das this Arcona was educated at the Lerct Historical Institute, before serving as the acquisitions director for the Zuliria Museum of Antiquities, working in the ancient weaponry department. During his studies at Lerct, Ther-das became addicted to salt, and spent many years trying to overcome his addiction. After growing tired of the routine at the museum, Ther-das gathered some acquaintences to him and formed the Zulirian Swordmasters. Originally dedicated to the study of weaponry, Ther-das began pushing the group to use their collected weapons and skills as vigilantes. (AIR) Thergum Pits located on the planet Essowyn, this was the primary mining operation founded by Messert Mines Corporation. They purchased the rights to the Pits from the Tresycht nation of Saurtons, and used Tresycht forces to subjugate the nearby Yiszte nation to avoid any contention over ownership of the land. (PG1) Thermabag this small sack is used to keep foods warm or cold during transport. Essentially, they are insulated lunch bags. (SWJ9) Therma-canteen this ancient form of container was used to transport liquids while maintaining their temperature. (TOJC) Thermajug this was a vessel that coud carry a beverage or soup and maintain its temperature over a long period of time. (SWJ2) Thermal Bomb this was a form of explosive developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Rather than exploding and spraying an area with shrapnel or other material, a thermal bomb detonated into a ball of incredible heat, burning everything within its blast radius into a charred husk. (MBS) Thermal cape a poncho made from metallic foil and spider silk, it keeps the wearer's body heat inside. They are often called T-capes. (SME, COJ) Thermal Detonator a round bomb used by smugglers and mercenaries, most of these weapons originated from a design first built on Talesia. They are essentially a casing which contained a shaped charge of baradium. The use of baradium made the weapon extremely dangerous, even for the being who threw it, as the element was highly unstable. Depending on the size of the charge, a thermal detonator would essentially atomize all material within a spherical area centered on the charge itself. Anything outside the range of the blast sphere remained virtually untouched. The baradium was activated by a switch, which would release a short burst of energy into the baradium mass, causing it to explode. (ROTJ, CPL, ROE, EGW) Thermal Grenade this explosive device generated an intense ball of heat when detonated, literally melting everything in its blast radius. They were illegal to possess or use, during the height of the New Order. (UYV) Thermal Mine this form of explosive device was employed in bringing down large buildings. It had a controllable blast, which enabled demolitions crews to safely bring down structures. (IA) Thermal Shield developed some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, thermal shields were a form of personal shield that protected the user against intense differences in temperature. The primary motivation for these shields came from fiefighters and other groups that worked around open flames, although they were later modified for military use. The only drawback to a military thermal shield was that it offered no protection against projectile or energy weapons. (KOTOR) Thermal suit a thin, lightweight coverall worn over normal clothing that provides protection from extreme temperatures. They are often referred to as T-suits. (SME, COJ) Thermal Veristat this device was used in the construction of racing engines, and was responsible for regulating the internal temperature of these engines. Because of the incredible heat they generate, thermal veristats were required in podracer engines. (IG1) Thermal Well this weapon was developed by the Alliance, in an effort to reduce the risks involved with using pure-baradium thermal detonators. Alliance technicians blended baradium with stabilized ytterbium, resulting in a denser explosive that ignited instead of exploding when energized. The thermal reaction is capable of generating thousands of degrees of heat in a short time, literally melting everything in its "blast radius." (ROE) Thermaplast this material was used to form pre-fab shelters. (GG10) Therma-slice this was a culinary device which used microfine heating lasers to cut through food and heat the individual slices. (HNN4) Thermex a highly-combustible explosive. (POM) Thermic Baster this was an outdated form of oven, used for slowly cooking meats. (IWE1) Thermite an explosive material used by military commandos, thermite was transported in a gel form that allowed it to be poured into a vessel for remote detonation. (SWJ12, GMR1) Thermite Boring Charge this directed explosive was used to destroy specific targets, such as locking mechanisms. The charge was positioned to bore into its target, destroying everything it encountered along its path. Thermite charges burned with an intensely bright light. (KT) Thermocapsulary Dehousing Assistor an automaton used to break down heat-generating devices. They are menial laborers. C-3PO called R2-D2 one while R2-D2 was trying to escape from the Tantive IV. (SWN) Thermocom this device is used to detect the operating temperature of machinery and equipment, in order to prevent them from overheating. The thermocom is connected by a shielded cable to onboard shutdown systems, which bring the equipment to a halt when the operating temperature reaches critical levels. The temperature levels can be set into the thermocom by the manufacturer, or modified by the user. Modifications to the temperature settings are highly discouraged, however. (RF) Thermo-converter this is any device or material which generates electricity when heated. (GG2) Thermoenergetic Screen this form of heat protection was developed by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Using a thermoenergetic screen, a clone trooper could be encapsulated in a small pod, which could be ejected from a transport ship so that the trooper could reach a drop point on a planet's surface. This eliminated the need for large, expensive dropships that provided enemies with a large target. The small, expendable pods were hard to detect, allowing a trooper to reach the surface swiftly and undetected. The thermoenergetic screen deflected the incredible heat that was built up upon entry into a planet's atmosphere, keeping the trooper inside safe. (TCD) Thermoguard Jumpsuit this expensive form of bodysuit was developed to allow the wearer to evade infrared and thermal-imaging scanners. The thermoguard suit was created with a surface cooling unit that maintained an external temperature equal to that of the wearer's environment. This meant that, to infrared and thermal sensors and other devices, the wearer was virtually invisible. (GMR6) Thermon this planet is orbited by several moons made of pure methane. The methane exists in liquid form below the crust, and gravitation pressure often cracks this crust. The result is a spectacular display of methan geysers. (THG) Thermoskin this was the high-tech bodysuit developed for starfighter pilots during the early years of the New Order. It allowed fighter pilots on deepspace missions to retain large amounts of body heat, which gave the pilot the option to divert some power from life support to shields. (EVR) Thernbee this huge, four-legged creature was native to the mountains of Almania. They were covered with thick, white fur, and had small heads punctuated by short ears and striking blue eyes. Thernbees had a long, thin, prehensile tail which could be used like a whip. They drooled constantly, and needed sunlight in order to survive. They were semi-sentient and somewhat psychic, and were able to establish mental links to other beings with similar abilities. They consumed primarily leaves and vegetation, but would also eat the slimy slugs and snakes which inhabit the underbrush. They were very powerful, yet docile, creatures. The bite of the thernbee had a numbing effect on its victim, since the saliva of the thernbee had an anesthetic toxic in it. This caused the prey to stop moving, allowing the thernbee to kill it with little resistance. Because of their semi-sentient minds, Luke Skywalker petitioned the New Republic to ensure they were protected. (TNR, WOTC, PJSB) Thes Cligris this Duros trader operated his business from a base onboard the Birthright, which he purchased just after the institution of the New Order. Although outwardly a businessbeing, Thes was also a supporter of the Alliance, and provided the Birthright as a transport whenever it was needed. (SOG) Theselonian this clothing designer was known for its exotic bridal gowns. (UYV) Thesh this is the eighth combination symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letters "th". (SWM) Thesme this planet formed the starting point of the Thesme Trace, a minor trade route located in the Outer Rim. It was also the Thesme Sector capital during the height of the New Order. (SWMW) Thesme Sector this sector of the galaxy was located on the Outer Rim Territories. (SWMW) Thesme Trace this interstellar trade route intersected the Gordian Reach, along the Hydian Way, at the planet Thesme. (WOA26, SWMW) Thespar Trode this female Ishi Tib was a friend of Danni Quee. Like Danni, Thespar found herself unemployed when New Republic Intelligence took over the work they had been doing to disrupt the gravitic devices of the Yuuzhan Vong. She ended up on Calamari in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. (DW) Thespian Union this was a group of students at Imperial Academies throughout the galaxy which put on plays and operas as part of their extracurricular activities. (IR) Theta-288 this was the callsign of the clone commando who was part of the squad assigned to protect Lorca Oviedo to a conference on Aviles Prime, during the height of the Clone Wars. On the return trip from Aviles Prime, Theta-288 and his comrades became expendable when Oviedo tried to fake an attack by Separatist forces near Asturias. Oviedo had been plotting to sell rigged weaponry to Wat Tambor and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, covering it up by appearing to survive a Separatist attack on his ship. The droid forces dispatched to Asturias were unable to destroy the clone commandos who were escorting Oviedo, as Theta-288 and a handful of his squadmates survived the crash-landing on the moon. They managed to reach Oviedo just as he was finalizing his plans with Tambor, and they took Oviedo prisoner. Theta-288 and his fellow clones struggled to return to Oviedo's ship, which was basically unharmed as part of the ruse, but they were continually harrased by battle droids. Ultimately, only Theta-288 survived to reach Coruscant with Oviedo. Once one Coruscant, Theta-288 turned Oviedo over to the authorities. (T22) Theta-2Y this bacta transport ship was owned by Cargo Consolidated, Incorporated. It made regular runs from Mrlsst to the Core, stopped at several worlds along the Shapani Bypass. (TSIA) Theta-class Barge this ship was designed by the Empire as a sort of dropship, although its primary mission was not to deploy troops into battlezones. Instead, the Theta-class barge was created to deploy AT-AT walkers into battle, with the support of Sentinel-class shuttles. (NEGV) Theta-class Shuttle many considered the Theta-class shuttle to have been the precursor to the Lambda-class shuttle, since they shared many of the same design elements. The Theta-class shuttle was developed during the last years of the Old Republic, as a transport for diplomats and other luminaries. The lower two wings of the Theta-class shuttle were triangular in shape, and were capable of moving up or down to assist with maneuvering. The upper wing was blade-shaped, and was mounted lengthwise atop the shuttle. Chancellor Palpatine had a specially-designed Theta-class T-2c shuttle built for his use as Darth Sidious by Cygnus Spaceworks. Inside was a complete Sith medical facility, from which he could coerce his guests into doing his bidding. (TCG10, X3) Thetametabuterin this tasteless, chemical powder was used by the best poisoners in the galaxy. When added to certain meats, like the flesh of the Wroonian flycatcher, it could create a subtle poison that affected the mental stability of a human eater. (SESB) Thetan nitakka, ko nakaza this Yevethan war cry is translated as "to the strongest of us, glory in the kill." (TT) Thevaxan Marauder this predator was native to the swamps of the planet Gorsh. It wasn't very adept at stalking its prey, being a huge beast measuring up to eight meters tall at the shoulder and twenty meters in length. It was quite dim-witted, and could be easily tricked or confused. Note that Wedge's Gamble claims the Thevaxan Marauder was an expert at stalking its prey. (WG, PG1) Thicklube this was a heavy, thick lubricant used aboard older starships during the last years of the Old Republic. (YDR) Thickwood this species of tree grows on the planet Kubindi, and is named for its thick, radiation-absorbing bark. Thickwood trees are often the homes of the burrowing insects that make up much of the Kubaz diet. (SWJ10) Thig Brothers a pair of smugglers working for Jabba the Hutt just before the Battle of Yavin. They were spicejackers who worked in the Stenness System, and were usually armed with stolen Imperial weapons. (TME) Thi'in Lis this Abinyshi served the Alliance as a Special Forces operative during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ14) Thiirn, Mosara this woman was, at one time, a Lieutenant in the Alliance's Special Force division. She deserted at the height of a pitched battle with the Assassin's Guild on Archais, and presented herself to Imperial Lieutnenant Colonel Covell. Luckily for the Alliance, she had not been intrusted with secret information, so her defection led to little initial damage. However, Thiirn later joined Hydrospeare Corporation's Design Team Beta, and her work was used against the Alliance in battle. (AIR) Thik this weak-looking man, a native of the planet Typha-Dor, was a member of Shalini's resistance group during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (JQ7) Thikkiian Brandy this potent alcoholic beverages is created by Wookiees. (RD) Thikkiiana City this Wookiee city, located on the Thikkiiana Peninsula, was the site of a computer fabrication facility. (ECH) Thikkiiana Peninsula this spit of land was the site of one of the many Wookiee tree-cities found on the planet Kashyyyk. It was one of the furthest such constructions from the city of Rwookrrorro. (TT) Thila this female Sullustan once sold slaves to Jabba the Hutt, only to discover that Jabba was serving them to his rancor for sport and entertainment. She suddenly became rich by selling holovids of the rancor's feedings about fifteen years before the Galactic Civil War. It was obvious that she cared little for the slaves she sold, which earned her the nickname "The Butcher." She was the Captain of the Arkanian Dawn, the Outer Rim's most feared slave ship. It was a well-known fact that anyone who was taken aboard the Dawn never returned. Of course, this was all the ultimate ruse, engineered by Thila and other anti-Imperials who saw the way Palpatine's New Order was treating aliens and promoting slavery. Thila used complex animation and filming to create the rancor holos, which she placed on the market herself. She then purchased the Dawn and began to make a bigger name for herself, spreading rumors about the slaves she picked up. In reality, the slaves she took into the Dawn were released onto Alliance safeworlds. Thila has liberated a multitude of slaves from Imperial and non-Imperial camps, helping to spread the word that the New Order should be overthrown. (GG9) Thila the planet on which the Alliance reorganized, following the evacuation of the base on Yavin 4. Voren Na'al began investigating the heroes of the Battle of Yavin at this base. (MTS) Thila Command Base this was the official name of the Alliance's base on the planet Thila, established in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ11) Thildas this Ebranite term describes a clan grouping. Each thildas represents about 20-30 Ebranite families who live and work together, in the same area. The clan's insignia is tattooed on the uppermost left arm of each Ebranite. (GG12) Thilis-Brin this young Ishi Tib female joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and quickly became one of the best Special Forces agents in her class. She attracted the notice of Dutra Zeneta, who recruited her to be the chief technician and procurement specialist for Shroud Team. She also served as the secondary foster agent, supporting the Rodian Dheendo. Much of her drive came from a desire to avenge her people and her homeworld against the Empire. (SWJ10) Thimbus, Warl this Alliance trooper was a member of Parody Squad, at Taul, shortly before the base was destroyed by the Victory-class Star Destroyer Dominator. Thimbus was also Force-sensitive, and knew a little about the Jedi arts. (SWJ1) Thimiar this small rodent was native to the planet Shili, and was the favored food of the Togruta race. Because the thimiar went into strange convulsions when bitten by a Togruta, many other beings believed that the Togruta actually poisoned the thimiar. This was proven to be false; the thimiar simply experienced post-mortem muscle contractions. (PJSB) Thimram, Savuud one of the Emperor Palpatine's original Dark Side Adepts, Savuud Thimram was once native to the planet Chandrila. The son of a noble family, Savuud was discovered by Emperor Palpatine to have a strong connection to the Force. Palpatine ensured that he was taken to Byss, ostensibly as part of a pleasure trip, where Savuud was warped by the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Over time, he became one of Palpatine's most trusted students, and became the Dark Side Adept who oversaw the activities at The Emperor's Citadel on Byss. (DE1, DESB, PH) Thimwa Precinct this was an area of the city of Mallonore, located on the planet Cmaoli Di. (SWJ12) Thincord this was a lightweight rope developed for use by scouts and explorers. (SWJ7) Thindroid this was a nickname used to describe ASP-series droids, and indicated their stick-like figures. (SSR) Thine, Reggis this Imperial trooper was stationed at the Kuat Passenger Port as a security officer. Much of his work involved helping lost travellers find their connections, so he knew a great deal about the Port and the Kuat System in general. Despite his Imperial ties, Thine was more or less indifferent about the Galactic Civil War. (PSPG) ThinHut this was a type of shelter used by scouts and explorers. It was quite small, providing only three cubic meters of space when erected, but could withstand most environments - although not hard vacuum - for 30 hours. It was made from the same material as a ThinSuit, which resisted tears and cuts. (GG8) Thinin an Alliance Nebulon-B frigate destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) Thinker this man served under Commander Brion Peck, as part of the Alliance cell on Rafft during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ3) Thinking Garden this form of garden was popular on the planet Merisee. A thinking garden was often walled off from the surrounding land by a dense hedge of shurbbery, and contained waterfalls and fountains. Stone benches surrounded the waterworks, allowing visitors to relax and unwind to the bubbling of the water. Thinking gardens allowed visitors to escape from the outside world. (OE) Thinskin this durable yet lightweight fabric was created for use by the Grand Army of the Republic, and was used primarily to create underwear and warm-weather clothing. (MBS) ThinSuit a form of personal protection used by scouts and explorers, the Karflo ThinSuit was a lightweight fabric suit that resisted tears and rips, and provided up to 18 hours of protection in most atmospheric environments. It offered no protection in vacuum, but protected against most hostile environments with through the use of a breathing mask and filter system. (GG8, ROE) Thiodyne manufacturers of shipboard ionization reactors. (SCRE) Thionarx an illegal substance sold in the Corporate Sector. (CSA) Thioro this man claimed to be a member of the New Republic Military Police and a native of Corellia, but was actually part of a small force meant to eliminate Wraith Squadron. He was identified as a threat by Garik Loran, despite his accurate Republic credentials, and incapacitated. (IF) Third Ado Superiority Fleet commanded by Admiral Gor Lequar, this Imperial force patrolled Ado Sector during the height of the New Order. (PP) Third Alabaster this room was located in the residence building used by Wedge Antilles and Red Flight, during their stay in the city of Cartann, on Adumar. A New Republic Intelligence agent slipped into this room before Hallis Saper could determine who it was. (SOA) Third Battle Group one of the New Republic's five defensive fleets. (SOL) Third Battle of Vontor the fateful battle in which Xim the Despot was finally defeated by Hutt forces. Kossak the Hutt used a battle group formed from Vodran, Nikto, and Klatooinan forces to overcome Xim's legions. (HSL, GG12) Third Battle of Yavin this was the name given to the struggle to defend the Jedi praxeum, located on Yavin 4, from the predations of Brakiss and the Second Imperium. Brakiss himself believed he was being summoned to Yavin 4 by the reborn Emperor Palpatine, but he later discovered that the Emperors presence was a sham, perpetrated by four former members of the Imperial Royal Guard. Three of them guarded a large meditation chamber, while the fourth used a vast collection of sound bites and holo-clips of Palpatine to create an illusion of his presence. Brakiss, as well as the entire crew of the Shadow Academy, were fooled by the ruse, until the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4 and the Jedi Academy.

It was Master Tholme who discovered Quinlan's psionic abilities, and asked Kurlin if the boy could be taken to Coruscant for training. Kurlin agreed, but Tinte Vos argued that Quinlan should remain on Kiffu as a Guardian. She used Quinlan's abilities to discover the reasons behind the deaths of Quian and Pethros Vos, an action that left Quinlan nearly insane. Master Tholme resigned his post as watchman and dedicated himself to repairing Quinlan's mind and training him as a Jedi. Master Tholme was later disptached to Kiffex to monitor Quinlan, during the investigation into the re-emergence of Volfe Karkko, and helped Quinlan defeat the feral Anzati warriors. Master Tholme then presented Quinlan with the star-shaped amulet which was the emblem of the Vos clan. Quinlan's psychometric powers were able to read the amulet, which revealed the truth about the deaths of Quinlan's parents at the hands of the Anzati under the control of Volfe Karkko.

Aurra Sing trapped both of them in an abandoned mine, then set out to destroy Aayla Secura. Knowing that taking their lives was all that mattered to Aurra Sing, Tholme and the Dark Woman placed themselves into a death-like trance. The loss of two Jedi Masters affected Aurra Sing, who dropped her guard long enough for Aayla Secura to disarm and capture her. The Jedi Masters, injured but alive, were transported back to Coruscant for treatment. Early in the Clone Wars, Tholme and Sora Bulq confronted Count Dooku on Bakura. Bulq was captured in the fighting, and Master Tholme lost his left eye in a lightsaber duel with Dooku. Later, Master Tholme worried almost constantly about the fact that he suggested that Quinlan Vos be used as a secret agent, to be dispatched to join Count Dooku during the Clone Wars. Quinlan's actions indicated that he had turned completely to the Dark Side of the Force, and many questions Tholme's decision to send him on the mission. Tholme himself wondered if he had made the right choice, and was forced to track down Quinlan to learn the truth for himself. Tholme eventually tracked down Sora Bulq on Saleucami, after Quinlan learned of its location from Salje' Tasha. On Saleucami, the former allies fought a desperate lightsaber battle, only to have Tholme chose to escape rather than fight. He didn't leave the planet, however, and set out to destroy the cloning facilities Sora Bulq had built in the magma caverns.

He owed Torga a huge debt, and worked it off by chasing bounties for the Hutt. It was Thraka Duroth who discovered the murdered body of his superior, Nak Simm, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Thraka then rushed to the Corusca Gem Casino and accused the individuals with whom Nak Simm was to meet of killing him. In the confusion, Nomo Sliken revealed himself to be Nak Simm's true murdered, and tried to flee the casino. Once Nomo Sliken was captured, however, Thraka took the party to meet with Torga. Torga then asked them to investigate Nak Simm's death. (WOA23, WOA24) Thrakia this planet is the homeworld of the Thrakians. (CPL) Thrakians a race of insects, native to Thrakia, which have genetically transmitted memories. They recently learned to use their mandibles to communicate, where previously they only used their scents. (CPL) Thrall this was the Basic tranblation of the Yuuzhan Vong term used to describe those captured beings who were implanted with surge-coral and forced to work as slaves. (NJOSB) Thrall Herder this was a species of immense, armored creatures used by the Yuuzhan Vong to control their slave populations. The 9.5-meter-long thrall herder had a dome-shaped carapace that served as protection, and it moved about on thousands of cilia-like legs. These creatures could also spit a glob of pure plasma across a great distance, an action that could be used for attack of defense. When ridden into battle by a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, the thrall herder used a specialized surge-coral device to control up to 600 enslaved beings, forcing them to fight as the first wave of a ground assault. In this way, the Yuuzhan Vong could save their own warriors - as well as Chazrach warriors - for the final assault. (NJOSB) Thran-class Vessel this Empire introduced this starship to its fleet shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWCP) Thrang this gas giant is the fifth and largest planet in the Elrood System. It had seven natural satellites. (PG3) Thranta a creature native to the planet Alderaan, the thranta was a reptavian of incredible beauty and diversion. No less that four species of thranta were once native to Alderaan, although only the common thranta - sometimes called the Alderaan of Bespin thranta - were exported to Bespin before Alderaan was destroyed. The great thranta, the pilotta thranta, and the balana thranta were all exterminated with the destruction of Alderaan. The thranta was basically a huge, floating wing, bouyed by a lighter-than-air bladder. They were very docile creatures, and could be easily domesticated. All four major subspecies could be trained to serve as transportation beasts, carrying individuals or entire barges. The average thranta lived or forty standard years or so. The thrantas that survive on Bespin, known as rodeo thrantas, were descendants of domesticated thranta that were used as flying mounts. The thranta was used on Alderaan as a transportation method as well as a show-beast. Smaller thranta were trained as recreational mounts. Some thranta were even transported to Coruscant, to be used as Imperial courier beasts. However, these thrantas wasted away without their natural environment to thrive in. The noxious fumes and emissions of the planet-wide city seemed to poison them. (ISU, WSW, WOTC) Thranta Riders these humanoids are a silent, mysterious group that have befriended the thrantas that inhabit Bespin's atmosphere. They have large cranial lobes and thin faces, and often tattoo themselves with wild, swirling patterns. They remain aloof from all of Bespin's culture, and little is known about their origins. They have developed a monthly sky rodeo, which they perform for the visitors to Bespin. They take their thrantas through a series of wild loops and spirals, and the riders themselves leap from their thrantas a fly through the clouds. Their thrantas then swoop under them and catch them. (ISU) Thranta-class War Cruiser developed by the Alderaanian military, the Thranta-class was one of the last warships built before Alderaan demilitarized. All of the Thranta-class ships were supposedly destroyed when the planet removed all weapons, but three ships - the Valiant, Courage, and Fidelity - were retained to guard the Another Chance. (BW) Thrantcill this black-eyed avian creature was native to the planet Coruscant. It was a resilient species, having adapted its migration patterns over the millennia as Coruscant's weather and climate were altered to meet the needs of the growing city-world. The thrantcill was also harvested for a variety of culinary uses, including the use of its internal organs to create a simply pate'. The oils and fluids extracted from the body of the thrantcill were also used to create perfumes and scents. (TCD) Thrantin see OM813 (AIR) Thrantin Blarcluur this beast, native to the planet OM813, was domesticated for use as a mount and pack animal. (AIR) Thrantin Major this red star was the primary body in the Thrantin System. (AIR) Thrar'kor this was a traditional Trandoshan sword. (SWJ4) Thrasher one of Oron Kira's warbeasts. (DLS) Thrawn this being, a member of the Chiss race, was a respected and honored commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense force during the years following the Clone Wars. His abilities to accurately predict his opponent's moves, and his tactical genius, moved him through the ranks with a quiet speed. Thrawn - whose full name was Mitth'raw'nuruodo - claimed to have been one of the first to intercept the Imperial task force dispatched to destroy the Outbound Flight Project, when it appeared in the Unknown Regions. The Jedi, at the urging of then-Chancellor Palpatine, had arranged for the Jedi Masters to make a trial run through the Unknown Regions, in order to help prepare them for the discovery of life in another galaxy. Unknown to the Jedi, Palpatine had sent the task force - led by one of his trusted advisors, Kinman Doriana - to make sure they didn't get started. The fifteen-ship Imperial force was summarily wiped out by Thrawn's small fleet of ships, although Doriana's ship was allowed to survive. Doriana himself negotiated with Thrawn, explaining why they were in Chiss space and what the threat of the Jedi was. Thrawn saw two things in Doriana's speech: the necessity for removing the Jedi, and the order and stability that Palpatine's New Order could bring to the galaxy. He agreed to let Doriana return to Coruscant, and also agreed to destroy Outbound Flight. Palpatine spent the next several years searching for Thrawn, in hopes of bringing his military genius into the Empire. Thrawn, meanwhile, had learned from the Empire the use of pre-emptive strikes against his opponents. The problem was that the Chiss regarded such unprovoked attacks as a form of murder, and exiled Thrawn after one particularly bloody incident. The ruling Chiss stripped him of his rank and sent him to live on an uninhabited world near Imperial space. It was here that Captain Voss Parck finally caught up with Thrawn, convincing him to travel to Coruscant and serve Palpatine. Thrawn received private schooling in Imperial military academies, becoming a Captain shortly after the Battle of Yavin and quickly rising through the ranks as one of the few non-humans in the Navy. He later claimed that he contradicted the orders of Emperor Palpatine on at least four occasions; after the first, Palpatine learned that Thrawn was often correct. When Darth Vader was called by the Emperor to become more involved in his plot to capture Luke Skywalker, Vader assigned Thrawn to be the "guardian" of the Noghri on Honoghr. This exposure to Vader and Palpatine led to Thrawn's promotion to Vice Admiral, where he helped design the missile gunboat. As Vice Admiral, Thrawn oversaw the development of an Imperial outpost in the Pakuuni System, then assisted in the defense of Palpatine against Zaarin's treachery. However, Thrawn could not capture Zaarin before he made his escape into hyperspace. Further service to the Emperor garnered Thrawn a full promotion to Admiral, at which time he served on the Inexorable under Ysanne Isard. Sometime later, Thrawn was promoted to Grand Admiral, and he convinced both Isard and Soontir Fel that a group of clones created from Fel's genetic material would make perfect sleeper agents. They could pilot ships, and would be loyal to the Empire. During a political party in the Emperor's court, Thrawn made a rare judgmental error and wound up on the wrong side of a debate. This angered Palpatine, but it also gave him an excuse to move Thrawn out of the limelight. Thrawn and Parck were sent back to the Unknown Regions as punishment, but were continually fed Imperial support. While there, Thrawn and Parck set up the compound known as the Hand of Thrawn on Nirauan, drawing a military force from the Chiss who still supported Thrawn. During their tenure, they won over large sectors of the region. These sectors could have vastly increased the Empire, had not Palpatine died at Endor. Thrawn decided to hedge his bets, and began fortifying the Hand of Thrawn. He left Parck there, in charge of the planet, when he decided to return to the rest of the galaxy some four years after the Battle of Endor. He left word with Parck and the Chiss who supported him that, if he was ever reported dead, that they should wait ten years for his return. As one of the surviving Grand Admirals, Thrawn was able to quickly garner support from the Imperial remnants, obtaining control of the small fleet under the command of then-Captain Pellaeon. Using Noghri strike forces and clever deceptions - such as cloaking devices and clones recovered from the Mount Tantiss facility - Thrawn and his growing fleet began systematically retaking pieces of the New Republic a year later. He was successful until the Battle of Bilbringi, where his fleet was decimated and he was killed by his Noghri bodyguard, Rukh. In order to ensure that he would eventually return to the Chiss on Nirauan, as he promised, Thrawn had Parck and Fel maintain a clone of himself, ready for rebirth at the ten-year mark. The clone was never activated, as Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade discovered the ruse and exposed it to the New Republic. (HTTE, DFR, TLC, TIE, WG, SOP, VOF, GOF8) Thrawn Pincer a space warfare developed by Admiral Ackbar, the Thrawn Pincer was based primarily on the tactics of Grand Admiral Thrawn. In a given battle situation, Ackbar would bring in two separate fleets. The first would emerge from hyperspace inside the system which was under attack, and would engage the enemy's fleet. The second fleet would emerge on the far side of the system to await further orders. When the battle began to turn for the enemy, Ackbar would wait for the enemy to fire up the gravity well projectors of an Interdictor-class cruiser. The move would mean that Ackbar's forces couldn't leave the system via hyperspace, and gave the enemy a false sense of victory. On Ackbar's mark, the second fleet would use a microjump through hyperspace to join the primary fleet. The exact location of their exit from hyperspace would be determined by the placement of the enemy's Interdictor cruiser, but would almost always be behind the enemy fleet. This was the activation of the pincer, catching the enemy fleet between its own gravity shadow and the fresh Republic fleet. The Thrawn Pincer was first used during the liberation of Ciutric from Prince-Admiral Krennel, and proved to be quite effective. (IR) Threadneedle Canyon this high-walled, crescent-shaped canyon was located on the planet Nadiem. Some five months after the Battle of Geonosis, Threadneedle Canyon was the site of a skirmish between a group of clone troopers led by Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee, and a droid army led by General Grievous. Grievous remained hidden from view, and directed his forces to trap the Republic's forces within the walls of Threadneedle Canyon. However, Barriss Offee and her troops literally played dead, and the Separatist forces passed them by. This allowed Offee's forces to attack the droids from the rear, crushing the Separatist forces between the two halves of the Republic's force. (CWA2) Threadworm these thin, rope-like creatures are covered with fine blue hair. (HTF) Threat this Imperial Lancer-class frigate was part of the fleet which supported the Sodrab in defending the Damorian repair yards near Esseles, shortly before the Battle of Endor.

The Three Jetties were erected in the port of bartyn's Landing, and provided a wealth of access to tourists as well as fishing vessels. (GMR7) Three Jetties Gourmet Restaurant this restaurant, which floated within the boundaries of the Thee Jetties on the planet Lamaredd, was considered an eyesore by the sailors and fishermen who regularly traveled to Bartyn's Landing. During the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, however, it was considered popular only because it was frequented by Guther Bartyn. (GMR7) Three Moons this was one of Mos Espa's best hotels, during the height of the New Order. Kitster Banai worked there as a steward for many years, until he earned enough money to buy his freedom. (TG) Three Peaks of Tharen a natural tourist attraction on Kalarba. (DRO) Three Statutes of Aargau this was the name given to the most basic of laws observed on the planet Aargau. The Three Statutes were: The unlawful removal of precious metals. The unlawful possession of weapons by non-citizens (although it was unlawful for citizens to be unarmed). Willfully conspiring to defraud, discredit, or deceive the Bank of Aargau.. These Statutues were posted on signs at every Customs office and outside every financial institution found on the planet. (PH, MC48) Three, The this is the basic element of all family business performed by the Kubaz race. The eldest child is in charge of the family's businesses, with the assistance of the next two younger siblings. If one of the Three should die, the eldest child of that individual assumes the last position in the Three, while the surviving two move up as necessary.

(TT) Thrella an extinct alien race native to Circarpous V, they had a fairly advanced technology, and dug the many Thrella wells found throughout the planet. They used the underground waterways extensively, and built some of their cities near the underground shores. These cities were built of metal and stone, and showed wonderous curves and sweeping planes. (SME) Thrella Wells shafts that lead from Circarpous V's surface to the network of subterranean caves. They were dug by the extinct Thrella race eons ago. (SME) Threna this misplaced Supreme-class servant droid was sent to the planet Grathus upon being manufactured. The natives of Grathus had been expecting a load of waste treatment parts, but the shipping company delivered the droid by mistake. Xig Rollem purchased the droid and altered its programming, giving it the name Threna and employing the droid as a bartender at his cantina. The droid'd original programming was basically unaltered, though, and it acted with the utmosy courtesy to Rollem's patrons, most of whom were rowdy miners and hired hands. However, over time, Threna's demeanor actually rubbed off on the patrons, who gradually became more refined. (SWJ10) Threndrian Snareflower this unusual plant has a beautiful, fragrant blossom which it uses to lure prey close to itself. A number of tentacle-like appendages surround the base of the plant, and whip out to snare its prey when it approaches to smell the flower. (MA) Threndy this woman served as a nurse at the Old Republic's Rimsoo Seven medical hospital, on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. (MJH) Thresher a beast which was the object of many safari hunts. They were far from predictable, which made the hunt very interesting and challenging. (SOP, VOF) Thresher native to the rocky coastlines of the planet Tinallis, this short-lived avian was known for its aerobatic flying. They hunt by riding the thermals and winds along the coast, diving into the water to snatch fish and crustaceans. Despite their avian appearance, research has indicated that the thresher had mammalian ancestors. They are warm-blooded, and suckle their offspring. These creatures were extremely territorial, and developed social groups which helped protect their families. They also mate for life. Further research into the thresher's life revealed that they were instrumental in keeping the population of blue-ringed sea crabs down to a minimum, maintaining a balance in the oceanic food chain. The government of Tinallis outlawed the hunting of the avians, especially after several gourmet restaurants began serving thresher on their menus. (COG) Threx Qaspi this was a Skrilling individual, distinguished in the history of Agriworld-2079. (UANT) Thri one of the family names used by the Bothan people, it literally meant "commander" or "general".

(TCD) Thrive or Die: Memoirs of the Bloodletter this book contained the memoirs of the human spy known only as the Bloodletter, and described his life on Thyferra during the ten-year period known as Alazhixazha, or the Thriving Season. (PH) Thriving Season this was the Basic translation of the word Alazhixazha, used by the Vratix to refer tot he ten years following the Battle of Naboo, during which time the Vratix controlled both the Zaltin and Xucphra factions. Because of the bloodless coup that put the Vratix in control, as well as the intrigue that occurred during the ten years, the Thriving Season became a popular setting for many of the grittiest holoserials produced during the New Order and the early part of the New Republic. (PH) Throat Slasher this Yuuzhan Vong warship was under the command of Tsaa Qalu, during the alien race's invasion of the galaxy. Tsaa Qalu was given command of the ship by the Viith Yalu and the Shapers who were stationed on Wayland, in order for him to capture the crew of the No Luck Required before they could discover the Yuuzhan Vong plans to destroy all production of bacta. The Yuuzhan Vong managed to ensure Bey Gandan made it to Thyferra, primarily by capturing the Dug Leaft and holding him aboard the ship. Leaft, however, struggled to find a way to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong. When Leaft had decided that the Yuuzhan Vong were not going to let him live, he fought back against Tsaa Qalu and his crew. The Dug stole a coralskipper and used the cognition hood in the craft to force the Throat Slasher to crash into Thyferra. Tsaa Qalu and his entire crew were killed in the explosion. (SWI64) Throbe a diminutive alien race. (APS) Throgg Luke Skywalker gave the Lars moisture farm to this alien, following the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars. A well-muscled humanoid with a tall, rectangular skull, Throgg was known as one of Tatooine's nastiest spice smugglers. Throgg was the individual Luke discovered through the Force, in the Mos Eisley cantina, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Throgg told Luke that he had once been a farmer, until the Empire took control of the galaxy and shattered what little peace he had. Despite his initial misgivings about returning to a farmer's life, Throgg accepted Luke's deal and managed the farm for a couple of seasons before Gavin Darklighter's uncle Huff tried to steal the farm by initiating an alien landowner tax. Gavin's father bought the farm before Huff could enforce the tax, and Throgg was able to remain on the farm, albeit as a tenant. (XWN, 3D1) Throgg a soft-bellied, skittish creature. (CFG) Throne Rocks these huge boulders were strewn about the floor of the largest chamber of the Sedrian Sun Caves, and were used by the Priests of the Sun as a place to meditate on the mysteries of the Golden Sun.

The asteroids within the belt were mined for doonium and turminum by the Kanauer Corporation during the height of the New Order. (BSS) Thrum this male Fia was an assistant to Primate Persha during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, arrived at Galantos to try and restore communications to the Galactic Alliance, Thrum was forced into escorting them around Al'solib'minet'ri City, in an effort to keep them from learning the true reason behind the communications blackout. His efforts were not good enough, however, after Jaina Solo and the Chiss pilot Miza discovered that the Yevetha had been utterly wiped out by the Yuuzhan Vong. Much to Thrum's dismay, Leia and Han learned that the Fia had provided information on the Yevetha in exchange for resources and a temporary freedom. Thrum, however, decided that it was best to help the Solos plan a defense for Galantos when the Yuuzhan Vong decided that they no longer needed the Fia. (FH1) Thrumble, Massad this man owned an upscale cantina on Hurd's Moon. Thrumble was, at one time, an expert in robotics working for the Empire. As a Captain, he oversaw the creation of many series of droids, and retired from Imperial service as the Admiral in command of the Empire's Droid Research Facility. The human replica droid Guri sought him out in the hope that he could remove the programming that made her an assassin. Thurmble succeeded, but also managed to obtain complete technical details on the humna-replica droid, and later completed an HRD of his own before he was killed. (SEE, SWI75) Thruncan Insurrection this was the name given to a series of uprisings by the Vodran natives of the city Thruncan against the Imperial presence there.

(RAC) ThrusterBurn this tapcafe, located in the Red Zone district of the city of Erwithat, on Pembric II, was owned by Crev Bombaasa. It was here that Talon Kaarde hoped to negotiate permission to travel around the Kathol Outback from Crev Bombassa, during the search for information on the Hand of Thrawn. Despite its shabby appearance, Bombassa kept the interior of the ThrusterBurn dry and comfortable. (VOF, DARK) Thrustship a Yevethan starship design which uses thrust propulsion instead of ion energy. (BTS) Thrust-thru Flights this was the second-largest transportation agency based on Edan II.

(TBSB) Thud Bug this species of flying insect was bio-engineered from the sparkbee, which was once native to Yuuzhan'tar, the homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong. The warriors used the flying bugs, known as nang hul, as projectile weapons, often imbedding them in their flesh or armor for use in battle. The silver-carapaced thud bugs could inflict simply physical trauma, or they could be modified to carry explosives which detonated on contact. In flight, a thuhd bug could reach speeds over 150 kilometers per hour. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that thud bugs and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (VP, JE, EVC, T, UF, NEGW) Thug this Gamorrean served Jabba the Hutt as one of the palace guards, at Jabba's Palace on Tatooine. Thug was often paired with Thok while on duty. (CCG14) Thugs of Thule this was one of the most infamous, and also the most highly educated, gangs of mercenaries active during the last decades of the Old Republic. (IWE2) Thuku meaning "stoic", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG) Thuku a Chattza Rodian, he and Neesh - under the direction of Navik the Red - hired Spurch Goa to get Greedo killed. Thuku was on Tatooine when Han Solo shot Greedo in the Mos Eisley Cantina. (TME, CCG2) Thul this noble Alderaanian family had purple, scarlet, orange, and gold in their family crest. Their clothing often reflected their family colors, and was quite gaudy. (TEP) Thul Kariss this being served as Cala Worner's co-pilot aboard the Midnight Star during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (RESB) Thul, Aryn Dro this blue-eyed Alderaanian woman was born to the noble Dro family. She was known to the former inhabitants of Aldera for her ballads and songs. She performed solo, with a mandoviol to accompany her. She was dating Bornan Thul when she met a young Han Solo, who had stopped on Alderaan after being attacked by pirates. She enjoyed his company, much to the chagrin and jealousy of Thul. However, Solo was not one to remain in one place for too long, and she eventuallyt got over him and married Bornan. After they managed to escape the destruction of their homeworld, they had a son, Raynar, who was Force-sensitive. He joined the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 shortly before his father disappeared. Aryn went to Yavin 4 to see if her son had any knowledge of Bornan's whereabouts, and to protect him. (TPS, TEP) Thul, Bornan this Alderaanian man was Aryn Dro's boyfriend. He was jealous of Han's bravery and the attention paid him by Aryn. After Han became a smuggler, Bornan eventaully won Aryn's favor. They were later married, and Bornan became an Alderaanian nobleman with a vast shipping empire. He and his wife were off-planet when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan, and so were among the handful of Alderaanians who survived the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Endor, Bornan became involved with the trade negotiations and alliances of the New Republic. He also began working with Nolaa Tarkona, and negotiated a deal for trade rights with her. While on his way to meet Han Solo at the New Republic Trade Council on Shumavar, he discovered that the cargoes he purchased from Fonterrat contained the Emperor's Plague, he attempted to destroy the storehouse from which they came. He was unable to do so, so he disapeared before delivering the cargo to Tarkona. She immediately placed a bounty on his head, for he retained the location of the storehouse. He managed to elude such notorious bounty hunters as Boba Fett, and kept the location of the storehouse away from Tarkona until he was found by his son, Raynar, and Zekk. When they tried to destroy the storehouse, Bornan sacrficed himself in order to kill Tarkona as well. She had unleashed the Emperor's Plague, but he was able to kill her with another of the viruses. (TPS, SHA, TEP) Thul, Raynar this spoiled, troublesome heir of Bornan and Aryn Dro Thul, Raynar was a student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 at the same time Jacen and Jaina Solo are there. He always wore outrageous clothing styled in his family's royal colors, none of which go with each other. A bristly-haired blond youth, Raynar disliked Jacen Solo, especially Jacen's collection of exotic creatures. Raynar was bitten a number of times by Jacen's crystal snake. When the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4, Raynar discovered that he wasn't as skilled as he believed himself to be. In a quick fight with Brakiss' Dark Jedi, Raynar ended up face-down in a riverbank and missed most of the fighting. Raynar's demeanor changes, and he decided that he must work for the prestige he wanted, rather than claim it was his. Raynar and Jacen eventually overcame their differences and became good friends. After Han Solo delivered the news that Bornan had disappeared, Ranyar became entangled with the Diversity Alliance. After Zekk returned to Yavin 4, he and Raynar agreed to cooperate and search out Raynar's father. They took the Lightning Rod, and eventually located Bornan. Raynar assisted all his friends in defeating the forces of the Diversity Alliance. Later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Raynar was part of an elite force sent to Myrkr to locate the voxyn queen and destroy it. During the mission, he got to known Eryl Besa quite well. Despite the fact that she was older, they found themselves attracted to each other. However, Eryl was killed shortly after the Jedi team entered the Baanu Rass, and Raynar fell into despair. After being slashed by a voxyn, Raynar was transported to the Tachyon Flier, and tried to work with Lowbacca to repair the ship as a way to relieve the pain. The ship was stolen by Welk and Lomi Plo, who forced Lowbacca off the ship as they departed. When the small freighter was attacked by Yuuzhan Vong ships and destroyed, Raynar died along with his captors.

Thula arrived on Drongar with Squa Tront, and worked with Kadir to re-establish the pipeline. However, it soon became known that the bota plant was mutating at a rate that would render it useless as a medicinal wonder-drug in a short time. Thus, Kadir's plans changed, and he worked to acquire enough processed bota to return to Black Sun and retire. Thula and Squa Tront had other plans, however. When Kadir entrusted them with obtaining the bota and leaving it at a predetermined location, the two criminals opted to keep the bota for themselves. In its place, they left Kadir with a cargo crate filled with explosives. They hoped to eliminate the Nediji and claim the payment for the bota for themselves. Unknown to both, however, was that Kadir discovered their duplicity, and had set out to hunt them down.

She eventually found work as an assassin and hired gun, and was contracted by an Imperial officer to eliminate Deckland Carper. After killing Carper and returning his head as proof, Thune took possession of Carper's droid, U-THR. She thought of the droid as a "spoil of war," which made the droid resentful of its new master. Thune later took the assignment of tracking down Kaj Nedmak for Bwahl the Hutt. Thune managed to waylay the Tryan Kajme with her own ship, the Faceted, then captured Kaj on Ord Mantell. She later used her street skills to convince Celia Durasha that Kaj had actually been captured by Treytis Prash. Thune convinced Celia that Prash was a bounty hunter, when in fact, Thune knew that Prash as a gun-runner for the Alliance. Thune hoped to capture Prash as well as Nedmak, collecting both bounties and acquiring a huge sum of credits. However, Thune failed to take U-THR's identity seriously. When Celia and Prash escaped, shortly after Thune had stabbed Kaj in the chest, the droid found itself unable to remain in Thune's company any longer.

Thurm was known as a being who would beg, borrow, or steal whatever he needed in order to favor his own interests, and he was not above killing - or having someone else kill for him - in order to get what he wanted. He once claimed to be the only non-Jedi ever to be offered a seat on the Jedi Council, and later claimed to be the mastermind behind the creation of the clone troopers that formed the basis of the Grand Army of the Republic. In the wake Velin Wir's death, sometime after the Battle of Naboo, Loogg was instrumental in regaining the confidence of the Cularin government and re-establishing the Cartel's presence on Cularin. However, the citizens of Cularin regarded Loogg as nothing more than a bully and thug, and did not share their leaders' generous opinion of him. A strange message of the Cartel's benevolence was released by Loogg shortly after the discovery of the Thaereian Military build-up in the Cularin System, in which an unusually happy and jovial Loogg proclaimed that the Cartel was only trying to act in the bests interests of Cularin. Years later, a second message was broadcast by Loogg to every communications device in the system, demonstrating a supposed weakness in Cularin's own HoloNet system. In this new message, Loogg reassured the people of Cularin that the Cartel had only their best interests in mind, and warned them of the possibility of the Separatists arriving in the system. Loogg denounced the Separatists, their droid armies, and the Sith as being "bad", "evil", and "sneaky", and implored the Cularin people to support Chancellor Palpatine's efforts to end the Clone Wars. Many of Cularin's citizens simply turned off their viewscreens, which prompted Loogg and the Cartel into surreptitiously begin installing "upgrades" to Cularin's communications systems, allowing them to have virtually complete control of everything, including the ability to turn individual viewscreens on and off. Loogg claimed that this was just another sign of the Cartel's goodwill toward Cularin, but strongly warned people not to try and modify their "new" system. He went on to say that the Cartel loved Cularin, and only remained in the Cularin System in order to ensure the protection of each and every Cularin citizen. But, he said, since Cularin seemed to want to fight its own battles, the Cartel would not interfere with the very citizens it was "sworn" to protect. (LFC, LFCW) Thurmik this was one of the small settlements established on the planet Nam Chorios. (WOTC) Thurmont, Deggs this con artist was supposedly one of Talandro Starlyte's regular customers.

During the height of the Clone Wars, Thustra chose to secede from the Old Republic, following the desires of King Alaric. Jedi Master Yoda, an old friend of Alaric, traveled to the planet to try and persuade his friend to remain with the Republic. However, the machinations of Navi and Alaric's own stubborn will prevented any reconciliation, and Thustra remained part of the Confederacyt of Independent Systems. Because Alaric had contacts in many surrounding systems, many of these systems also seceded to join the Separatists. (J5) Thuvasaur this species of saurian was imported to Eiattu, to be hunted in the jungles for sport. Being vicious predators, the thuvasaurs eventually consumed the native competition. They are similar in size and shape to a tauntaun, but are actually related to the dewback.

The Vratix shared the secrets of bacta production with their human neighbors, and a healthy business was created as the galaxy realized the healing potential of bacta. The planet had two human factions engaged in bacta production, the Zaltin and Xucphra factions, in addition to the Vratix Ashern faction. The two human factions were chosen by Emperor Palpatine to supply the Empire's bacta, effectively eliminating all competition in the bacta market. The Vratix were relegated to the position of rebellious terrorists, until they petitioned the New Republic for admission as a member race. The Republic was unable to do so without the consent of the native human population, which was under the yoke of Ysanne Isard until she was killed in the Battle of Thyferra. Once free of Imperial domination, Thyferra applied for membership and was accepted. The Vratix then expelled the human leaders of the bacta cartels, and took control of its production for thenselves. Unfortunately, the Vratix were no match for the Yuuzhan Vong, who invaded the galaxy shortly afterward. The Yuuzhan Vong control of Thyferra casued serious problems to the New Republic, which had to rely on existing stockpiles of bacta to supply their military medical facilities. In a series of hit-and-run attacks, New Republic forces eventually defeated the alien invaders and recaptured the planet. The average day on Thyferra lasts just over 21 standard hours.

Then, Imperial troops could come in and save the day, making the Thyferrans realize that they are truly dependent on the Empire. (BW) Thyfonian this Lambda-class shuttle served as Fliry Vorru's personal transport while he worked for Ysanne Isard on Thyferra during the Bacta War.

The native Korunnai often chewed the bark of the thyssel raw, as a kind of stimulant. Those individuals who chewed thyssel bark were easily distinguished by the scarlet-red color of their teeth. When properly roasted and refined, the bark was ground into a spice which provided a sharp taste that gave the eater a slight sensation of euphoria. When not fully refined and dried, thyssel bark retained enough moisture to be chewed as a stimulating intoxicant, about as potent as sweet wine. In its raw form, however, thyssel bark could cause permanent brain damage. (SHPT) Thyswar this was a common name among the S'kytri people. (UANT) Thyte, Darryn a member of the FarStar's crew, Thyte was distinguished by his cybernetic arm.

(GG9) Tibanna gas a gas found in the atmosphere of many gas giants, it is useful because it can produce large amounts of energy when light passes through it. Thus, it can be used in large blasters to multiply the weapon's output. It also has certain anti-gravitional properties, and has exceptional properties as a hyperdrive coolant. The best tibanna gas is compressed and spin-sealed, since this kind of tibanna is four times as powerful as regular tibanna. Spin-sealing requires a great deal of energy to do artificially. Fortunately for many weapons manufacturers, the tibanna found in the atmosphere of Bespin is naturally spin-sealed. Much of Bespin's tibanna gas is produced as a waste product by the beldons that inhabit the gas giant's Life Zone. (ESB, AESB, GG2, ISU) Tibannopolis a floating city in close-orbit around Bespin, deserted after the Imperial occupation of Cloud City.

The x1 had a custom-built fuselage which features enhanced armor plating, and expanded rear deck, and matching bent wings. It wasn't as maneuverable as the other TIE Fighter designs, but speed was slightly faster. Like most TIE ships, the x1 lacked a life-support system, but it did have modest shield generators and a hyperdrive. The x1 saw limited production. Darth Vader received one of the first x1 ships, while others went to elite squadrons for testing. SFS could not bring the fighter's cost down, so the Empire opted not to purchase the x1 in quantity. Instead, the Empire chose the TIE Interceptor, which incorporated many of the x1's advances but on the basis TIE Fighter frame and at a much cheaper cost. In the decades after the fall of the Empire at Endor and the negotiation of peace between the New Republic and the Imperial remnants, these ships were decommissioned. Lando Calrissian picked up a number of them for use in the Lando's Folly asteroid field. (CCG, VP) TIE Advanced x7 this prototype TIE Fighter was one of the last designs produced by Sienar Fleet Systems before the Battle of Endor. Originally developed on Corulag, the x7 measured 9.2 meters in length, and was equipped with a hyperdrive. It was also armed with four laser cannons. The x7 eventually served as the design basis for the TIE Defender. (CCW) TIE Aggressor this experimental variant of the Imperial TIE Fighter was derived from the TIE Advanced x1. The wings of the TIE Aggressor were bent at the front, but tapered down to a single panel at the rear. The rear deck of the TIE Advanced was reduced in width to save weight, but provided the ship with enhanced maneuverability. A pair of chin-mounted laser cannons complimented two missile launchers, and a gun turret was mounted at the rear, giving the TIE Aggressor more firepower than its predecessor. Military experts categorized the TIE Aggressor as neither a fighter nor a bomber, but rather something in between that could accomplish the mission profiles of either type of vessel. (LAWS, SWGAL) TIE Avenger this version of the TIE Fighter was based on the TIE Advanced x1 prototype, and was the precursor to the TIE Interceptor. The Avenger's wings were bent inward at the top and bottom, and the wing supports were strengthened with fins attached to the hull. The armament and shielding was virtually the same as the TIE Advanced x1, with pair of L-s9.3 laser cannons or a pair of warhead launchers giving the fighter its punch. The TIE Avenger also reused the I-s3a ionization reactor and two P-sx7.4 ion engines for propulsion. It also had deflector shields and a hyperdrive, which significantly added to its cost. Because of this, it was quickly phased out of production and replaced with the TIE Interceptor. (CCG4, SWDB) TIE Bomber built by Seinar Fleet Systems, this version of the TIE fighter is a double-hulled bomber ship with bent wings for increased stability. It is 7.8 meters in large, is a single-pilot craft, and can make 80 MGLT at sublight speeds. It was designed for surgical strikes against ground and deep-space targets. It suffers in maneuverability due to its double-hulled configuration, but when complemented by TIE Fighters or TIE Interceptors, it makes a lethal combination. They have enhanced targetting capability, making them much more accurate than many capital ships. These ships eventually evolved into the Scimitar assault bomber. It boasts the following shipboard systems: Seinar Fleet Systems P-s4 Twin Ion Engines, Seinar Fleet Systems N-s4 NavCom Unit, 2 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s1 Laser Cannons, Seinar Fleet Systems M-s3 Concussion Missile Launchers (2 racks of 4), Seinar Fleet Systems I-a2b Solar Ionization Reactor, Seinar Fleet Systems F-s3.2 Avionics Control, Seinar Fleet Systems T-s7b Targeting Computer, Seinar Fleet Systems T-s5 Proton Torpedo Launchers (2 racks of 2), Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 50 RU), Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels. (ESB, SCRE, EGV) TIE Bomber Mark 2 this proposed update to the Imperial TIE Bomber was developed by Captain Tomax Bren, and included the addition of shielding and armor plating. (SWJ15) TIE Crawler another name for the TIE Tank. (DE1) TIE Defender an advanced form of TIE Fighter developed in secrecy by the Imperial Navy, the TIE Defender was produced as a response to the success of the Alliance's starfighter pilots. This 10-meter starfighter, known as the TIE/D, took the stability and agility of the TIE Interceptor's bent-wing design and added a third bent-wing to it. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the TIE Defender measured just 6.6 meters in length. Not much was known about the TIE/D, as it was never fully accepted in battle and never mass-produced. It was thought to have had a maximum speed of 155 MGLT, with 4 L-s9.3 laser cannons, 2 NK-3 ion cannons, 2 M-g-2 warhead launchers, 200 SBD shields, and a 20 RU hull. The fighter was propelled by the newer P-sz9.7 twin ion engines from Sienar Fleet Systems, which gave the ship atmospheric speeds of 1,680 kilometers per hour, and was equipped with Novaldex shield generators. The TIE Defender was used to defeat Admiral Zaarin, although the missions were so secret that very few Imperial officials were unaware of its role. The TIE Defender was produced at a cost of over 300,000 credits per fighter, about five times the cost of a TIE/ln. This, plus the political upheaval created by the Battle of Endor and the fact that it had an aft blindspot created by the wing placement, led to the demise of the TIE Defender as a widely-accepted starfighter. Its only known deployment during the Galactic Civil War was as part of Onyx Squadron during the Battle of Endor, but the TIE Defender design was later adopted by the Imperial Remnant as one of its primary starfighters. (TIE, EGV, CCG9, SWDB, NEGV, FH1) TIE Deluxe an advanced form of TIE Fighters which was developed, but never deployed into combat. (TIE) TIE Fighter sometimes called the TIE/ln starfighter, this was the first flat-winged, single-pilot TIE ship developed by Seinar Fleet Systems, and the basis for all other TIE ships. It is 6.3 meters in length, and can make 100 MGLT at sublight speeds. It has also been clocked at 1,200 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. Like all TIE ships, it has a titanium alloy hull and quadanium steel armored solar panels. All visual information on TIE Fighters shows that they have six-sided solar panels, although X-Wing: The Bacta War indicates that they are octagonal. Also, like other TIE ships, it is built exclusively from Seinar Fleet Systems components, and lacks primary life support systems. It is a short-range starfighter, requiring a nearby base of operations from which to obtain fuel and guidance. It also boasts the following shipboard systems: Seinar Fleet Systems T-s8 Targeting Computer, Seinar Fleet Systems I-a2b Solar Ionization Reactor, Seinar Fleet Systems N-s6 NavCom Unit, Seinar Fleet Systems P-s4 Twin Ion Engines, Seinar Fleet Systems F-s3.2 Avionics Control, 2 Seinar Fleet Systems P-w401 Ion Maneuvering Jets, 2 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s1 Laser Cannons, Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 15 RU) ,Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels. (SW, SCRE, SWSB, EGV) TIE Fighter a game found in the databanks of the computer program called Systems Integration Manager aboard the Star of Empire. The player took the persona of a downed TIE Fighter pilot who had to escape from Alliance forces before being captured. In order to escape, the pilot had to enter the correct access code to repair his ship. (GOF10) TIE Fighter Boat this was a form of aquatic military vessel developed by the Empire, based on the standard TIE/ln starfighter. (BGS) TIE Hunter this variant on the Imperial TIE Fighter was created at a hidden base near Destrillion, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Its unusual design incorporated S-foils, similar to those used on the Incom T-65 X-Wing, to position the trademark solar panels. In addition to the standard laser cannons, the TIE Hunter also was armed with ion cannons, and could be upgraded to use concussion missile launchers. Like most TIE designs, the TIE Hunter lacked shields, but could be upgraded to support them. Before the TIE Hunter could be put into production, three prototypes were stolen by Wedge Antilles. These were used in a raid on the Imperial shipyards at Fondor, where the TIE Hunter proved it could be a formidable craft after Antilles and Rogue Squadron were able to destroy a Star Destroyer that was under construction. Because of the events surrounding the Battle of Endor, however, the TIE Hunter never went into full production. (RSG3) TIE Interceptor built by Seinar Fleet Systems, these single-pilot bent-winged attack craft were designed so that the wings are longer in front than behind, and have been cut out at the front for better visibility. They are 9.6 meters in length, and can run at 110 MGLT at sublight speeds. They have been timed at 1,250 kilometers per hour in atmospheric conditions. It boasts the following shipboard systems: Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 20 RU), Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels, Seinar Fleet Systems I-a3b Solar Ionization Reactor, Seinar Fleet Systems S-c4.1 Multi-range Tracking Array Grid, Seinar Fleet Systems F-s4 Avionics Control, Seinar Fleet Systems T-s9a Targeting Computer, Seinar Fleet Systems P-s5.6 Twin Ion Engines, Seinar Fleet Systems N-s6 NavCom Unit, 4 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s9.3 Laser Cannons. (ROTJ, SCRE, SWSB, XW) TIE Lander this troop transport vessel was built by Sienar Fleet Systems, and was based on the design of the TIE Fighter. It had a triple hull, which gave it the ability to deploy a stormtrooper company into virtually any environment. (IWST) TIE Oppressor this unusual variant of the Imperial TIE Fighter was designed to bridge the gap between the TIE Bomber and the TIE Interceptor. The elongated, bent wings of the TIE Advanced were reused on the TIE Oppressor to provide stability, while a third wing was mounted horizontally at the rear. (LAWS) TIE Raptor this was the name of a droid-operated TIE Interceptor developed by Warlord Zsinj, during his battle against the New Republic. They first saw duty with the false 181st Fighter Group Zsinj assembled, in hopes ot drawing out Rogue Squadron. The droid fighters were paired with human-piloted Interceptors, a combination which allowed the humans to lead and the droids to follow in their wake, making up for any piloting mistakes the humans made. They would have found more widespread usage if they weren't soundly defeated in dogfights during the Battle of Selaggis. Resembling the normal TIE Fighter cockpit, but with four wings mounted directly to the cockpit, the TIE/rpt was eventually modified for flight by a living pilot, shortly before Zsinj's destruction at Dathomir. The TIE/rpt lacked shields, although this deficiency was being addressed at the time of Zsinj's demise. Each TIE Raptor was armed with four laser cannons, mounted on the wings, and a pair of concussion missile tubes mounted just below the cockpit. Despite the striking similarity between the TIE Raptor and the basic TIE Fighter, Seinar Fleet Systems was not responsible for its design or manufacture. (SOC, CTD) TIE Scout this limited-production model of the standard TIE Fighter had severely-canted wings. Unlike the Interceptor, the wings had two planes instead of three, with the upper section bent inward more than the lower section. These ships, designed to scout for pirate and rebel activity, were packed with long-range sensors and communications arrays. They were lightly armored and armed, to allow for the additional equipment. (CCG) TIE Ships Twin Ion-Engined small attack ships used as defensive guard ships around larger cruisers (such as Star Destroyers). Each is a single-pilot ship which lacks a hyperdrive and life support system due to their small size and expendability. The wings are covered with solar panels for collecting energy that can be transferred to the engines. Originally designed by Republic Seinar Systems, they were not built until the Empire assumed control, and RSS became Seinar Fleet Systems. There are many different variations of the basic TIE design, each built for unique purposes. (SW, ESB, SCRE) TIE Subfighter this form of TIE Fighter is a smaller version of the original, and is armed with a concussion missile launcher and a single blaster cannon. (SWJ9) TIE Tank a ground assault vehicle modeled after the TIE starfighter, this vehicle was properly called the Century Tank, although its resemblance to the TIE Fighter earned it its other names of TIE Tank and TIE Crawler. This ground vehicle was the first craft designed and built by the Seinar Army Systems division of the Santhe/Seinar Technologies group, during the period following the Battle of Endor. The 6.7-meter craft was essentially the cockpit of a TIE Fighter linked to a pair of outboard treads, armed with a light turbolaser and two medium blaster cannons. It was designed to be a cheap, mass-produced ground combat vehicle. Twin Santhe SSct power generators supplied energy to the treads, but were only strong enough to move the tank at 90 kilometers an hour. They were easily repaired because most of their systems were basic in design to cut down on production costs. Disabled or damaged TIE Tanks could be quickly repaired in most situations, and abandoned Tanks were often scavenged for parts. (DE1, DESB, EGV, SWDB) TIE Vanguard this reconnaissance fighter was deployed to gather information of enemy starship movements before engaging the fleet in battle. Built from the basic TIE/rc design, the Vanguard's solar collectors were smaller on the top half than on the bottom. The top part was also bent slightly outward. The central ball of the strafighter was equipped with enhanced communications equipment. (CCG2, SWDB) TIE/D pilotless TIE/droid unit fighters run by onboard droids, designed by Arndall Lott following the Battle of Endor. Lott used the Katana fleet as an inspiration, seeing that the automated systems could work if implemented correctly. Lott originally automated the AT-AT, but his early work suffered from lack of computer power. The TIE/D has received the best automation the Empire could afford, and could be used as independent fighters or computer-slaved squadrons. However, the initial TIE/Ds were not very powerful, and were only effective in large numbers. The TIE/D measured 6.1 meters, and resemble the center section of a TIE Fighter with squared-off TIE Interceptor-like wings which were flat and tilted. The TIE/D was armed with a pair of laser cannons, and lacked a hyperdrive. A Cybot Galactica Ace-6 combat droid brain served as the heart of the ship, but was shown to be greatly inferior to human pilots. The TIE/D, although produced in large volumes in an attempt to overwhelm New Republic starfighters, was primarily produced by the nuclear furnaces and factories of World Devastators. When these were destroyed over Calamari, the primary sources of the TIE/Ds were eliminated. (DE1, DESB, EGV, SWDB) TIE/fc a specially-equipped TIE fighter used for relaying targeting and fire control information back to the capital ships of a main fleet, the TIE/fc measured 6.3 meters in length and was armed with a single laser cannon. In addition to augmenting the targeting abilities of capital ships, the TIE/fc proved valuable in assisting the targeting of TIE Fighters. (SWSB, SWJ10, SWDB) TIE/gt a specially-equipped TIE fighter used for carrying bombs and torpedoes to support ground troops. It was the predecessor to the TIE Bomber, but was a bit more maneuverable. Based on the standard TIE/ln, it measured 6.3 meters in length and was armed with a single laser cannon and a concussion missile launcher. Although large targets were easily locked by the TIE/gt's computers, it more often worked in concert with a TIE/fc to ensure pinpoint accuracy. The cockpit of the TIE/gt was reinforced and elongated to allow for its payloads, which could include twelve concussion missiles, six proton torpedoes, two cluster bombs, or eighteen mines. Among the more unusual missions of the TIE/gt was the deployment of propaganda leaflets. The name referred to its ground targetting ability. (SWSB, SWJ10, SWJ15, SWDB) TIE/ln the basic TIE fighter design. See TIE Fighter. (SWSB) TIE/rc a specially-equipped TIE fighter which employs sophisticated sensors and long-range communications equipment for reconnaissance. Because of the additional power and space requirements of this equipment, the TIE/rc was armed with a single laser cannon. A specialized variant of this craft was known as the TIE Vanguard. (SWSB, SWJ10, SWDB) TIE/rc Vanguard see TIE Vanguard (SWDB) TIE/rpt this was the designation of the TIE Raptor starfighter developed by Warlord Zsinj. (CTD) TIE/sh this was the designation of a version of the standard Imperial TIE Fighter which was equipped to shuttle small numbers of personnel between ground-based operations to orbital craft. It was an alternative to the expensive Lambda-class shuttles, which were generally reserved for high-ranking officials. The TIE/sh could be built for less, and could be deployed to line officers who were at or near battlelines. At 7.8 meters in length, and equipped with a double hull to accommodate its passegers, the TIE/sh was the design basis for the TIE Bomber. Although not meant for combat, the TIE/sh was armed with a single laser cannon. The ship could also be used to transport up to a metric ton of cargo. (SWJ10, SWDB) TIE/SR Seinar's designation of the TIE Scout. (CCG) TIE/x1 this was the model designation of the TIE Advanced x1 starfighter. (SWJ5) TIE/x2 this was the follow-on version of the TIE Advanced x1 starfighter. Like its predecessor, the TIE/x2 was equipped with a hyperdrive. Also like the x2, the x2 was a prorotype design which was never destined for mass production. It was believed that the TIE/x3 would be the production model in this series. (SWJ5) TIE/x3 this was the model number of Sienar Fleet Systems' production-ready version of the original TIE Advanced x1 starfighter. It was given faster sublight engines, larger solar panels, and enhanced combat systems. However, unlike both the x1 and x2 versions, the TIE/x3 lacked a hyperdrive. (SWJ5) Tiebo this valet, who worked for the famous actress Jona Reeten, became her business partner when Reeten was blacklisted by Babel Torsh. (GG6) Tiehn Slug this small creature was considered a delicacy by the Hutts. (COG) Tieko this was a common name among the Kushiban race. (UANT) Tiem Rutnar this being was a noted expediter, working during the height of the New Order to match dangerous missions and quests to bands of independent agents and mercenaries. (GQRG) Tiems this city, bordered by the Blue River and the Gopps Forest, was the site of an Imperial outpost that was attacked by Carlist Rieekan and the Alliance. The ground assault maneuvers were later used as examples by General Madine. (RASB) Tieos planet which was home to an Imperial naval base. (SWSB) Tier this Imperial officer accompanied Thrawn to S'krrr, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Tier and his peer officer, Wolver, were killed in attacks from drog beetles. (GOF8) Tiercan Dam this immense, durasteel dam was erected on the planet Duro several centuries before the surface of the planet was scoured by toxic wastes. Measuring 780 meters in height and spanning two full kilometers, Tiercan Dam was visible for miles around. In the wake of the ecological disaster that destroyed Duro's ecosystem, the Empire stripped Tiercan Dam for its durasteel, leaving only the main exostructure. (GMR2) Tierce, Grodin this former Imperial stromtrooper and Royal Guard served under Moff Disra. Tierce managed to survive the destruction of the second Death Star by the simple fact that he was not there, having been rotated out of active duty as Guardsman at the time. He later served as one of Grand Admiral Thrawn's stromtroopers aboard the Chimaera, but didn't count on Rukh actually killing Thrawn. Tierce's unit, upon hearing of Thrawn's death, intercepted and executed Rukh. A cold, calculating man, Tierce was drawn into Disra own plans for the remnants of the Empire as he was furthering his own schemes. Serving as a Naval Major, Tierce tried to remain a minor aide to Disra, but felt that the old man was getting in his way. He took control of the military aspects of their plans after Disra introduced Flim as a reborn Thrawn. Tierce recognized the short-comings of Flim's performance, and had Thrawn's genetic records altered to match Flim's. He then cut off Disra's supply of clones to Zothip and the Cavrilhu Pirates, making it clear to Disra that the Empire would need them more than the pirates. He claimed that he was only trying to avenge the death of Palpatine. He also learned that Thrawn had set up a number of sleeper cells on Republic worlds, and worked to activate them in an effort to garner more troops. Tierce also hired the Vengeance group to begin a series of ritos which, on the surface, were the result of the Caamas Incident. His work with Disra dn Flim was cut short when Admiral Pellaeon discovered that Tierce was, in fact, a clone of the original Grodin Tierce. The history files in the Imperial Records Library noted that Tierce died in the assault on Generis while serving under the original Thrawn, ten years before the Caamas Incident. Thrawn created the clone himself, using Tierce's fierce loyalty and soldier acumen and merging it with much of Thrawn's own intellect and cunning. The hope was that this new regime of clones would supplant the Imperial warlords and take control of the Empire. Pellaeon discovered that Tierce was created just two months prior to Thrawn's death, but the experiement was cut short when Thrawn realized that he had not created a leader, just a tactically brilliant stormtrooper. Tierce was the first - and last - of his line. Upon hearing of this, Shada D'ukal - who had accompanied Pellaeon - killed Tierce with one of her zenji needles. (SOP, VOF) Tierell the people of this planet were struggling with a repressive government when a coup occurred some five years after the Battle of Naboo. A small group of mercenaries was called in to force the leader of the government to step down, and he was eventually assassinated. Anakin Skywalker later learned that the mercenary group had been led by Gillam Tarturi, and was made up of students from the Leadership School on Andara. Marit Dice was actually the individual who shot the leader, although she claimed that he shot was in self-defense, fired during a blaster fight with security forces. Gillam claimed that the outcome was even better than forcing the leader out of power, and commended Marit for her actions. Marit, however, refused to pick up a firearm afterward, making her presence on the mercenary team expendible. (JQ5) Tieren Nie-Tan this horse-faced Jedi Knight was a contemporary of Jude Rozess and Theen Fida. He was on guard when the Yinchorri invaded the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He and Rozess were the primary guards on duty at the time, and were caught by the sheer numbers of Yinchorri warriors. (AOW) Tieress this was the title used by the consort of the Satab of the planet Ventooine. (LTA5, MCA2) Tierfon planet in the Sumitra Sector that housed a secret Alliance fighter base during the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance used this base to patrol the Sumitra Sector and to provide escorts for secret convoys. Located on a steep cliff face overlooking a deep valley, the Alliance had perfect views for miles around. They dug deep into the rock, and built maintenance and refueling sites for convoy ships. The base was guarded by defensive lasers and the X-Wings based there, but had little other defenses. The base was run by 12 command personnel, and maintained 18 pilots and 54 ground troops. 74 support and technical staff were also stationed there. The base supported 5 airspeeders, 2 landspeeders, 4 speeder bikes, and 8 X-Wing starfighters. An MD-1 and an MD-2 droid provided medical support. Tierfon base was the base for the famous Yellow Aces Squadron. (SWSB, MTS) Tierfon Outpost this was another name used to describe the Alliance's fighter base on the planet Tierfon. (AIR) Tiernvael Mountains this range of mountains was located on the planet Ambria, near the Meditative Canyon. These mountains were found on the planet's north central continent, just above the equator. The weather patterns near the Tiernvael Mountains were greatly affected by Ambria's rings, and sudden storms and long droughts were not uncommon. (PJSB) Tiethiagg an Ithorian poet and philosopher, many historians consider Tiethiagg the driving force behind the Ithorian social conscience. (RPG) TIE-wing this form of Ugly starship was created from a TIE Fighter's ball-shaped cockpit and the engine nacelles of a Y-Wing fighter. Rogue Squadron pilots often referred to them as "Die-Wings" because they were sluggish and easily shot down. (IJ) TIE-Y Ugly this was another name for the TIE-Wing Ugly. (PP) Tiffany Deck this was the most luxurious - and most expensive - section of passenger quarters found aboard the Aurorient Express. (TAE) Tifnyl this gas giant was the primary planet in the Tifnyl System, located in the Elrood Sector. Although the planet itself was uninhabitable, one of its moons supported an Imperial listening post during the Galactic Civil War. (PG3) Tig Fromm Sise Fromm's son, this Annoo-dat went by the names of Baby-face Fromm and Junior Fromm. He liked to meddle with modern technology, and he built the weapons satellite Trigon One to help keep the inhabitants of Annoo in line. His dreams of supremacy were shattered when Demma Moll and her freedom fighters, assisted by R2-D2 and C-3PO, destroyed the satellite. Tig Vlix then spent many months trying to regain favor with Sise Fromm, trying to capture the rebels who destroyed the satellite. Unfortunately, Tig and Vlix were captured by Boba Fett on Boonta, and the pair were turned over to Jabba the Hutt. (DCAR) Tiga Loreng this bird, native to the planet Bimmisaari, was known for its beautiful plumage. (EGP) Tigbwi this was a common name among the Toydarian race. (WOTC, UANT) Tigellinus, Rufaan this Imperial Grand Admiral was inducted into Coruscant's Order of the Canted Circle during the height of the New Order. Tigellinus' admission into the exclusive order was somewhat unusual, because his involvement with the Order was minimal when compared to other important dignitaries. His rapid admission was attributed to his politcal savvy and connections to Emperor Palpatine, most notably his relationship with Alec Pradeux. His admission was also unusual in that it came during a period of rapid growth for the Order: Tigellinus was the thirteenth new member in seven years. Emperor Palpatine himself assigned Tigellinus to investigate the incredible growth of Moff Jerrod Maclain's personal wealth, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. It was rumored that Maclain was obtaining insider trading information from the Dajaal family, in return for political favors and tax breaks. Tigellinus was a strong supporter of Moff Disra, even when the Moff was out of favor with the Emperor. Later, when Emperor Palpatine made Thrawn the newest Grand Admiral, Tigellinus - a known human elitist - befriended Thrawn with every intention of betraying him later. Once Thrawn was discredited and dispatched to the Unknown Regions, Tigellinus began to assert his own powerful influence. He was soon named a Grand Moff, but only his old friend Disra supported his actions. Tigellinus disliked the fact that a non-human, Hissa, had also been named Moff, but was unable to sway the other to see his point of view. When Hissa was named the leader of the Central Committee of Grand Moffs, in the wake of the Battle of Endor, he took the opportunity to discredit Tigellinus and eliminate his dissenting voice. Hissa offered Tigellinus a subordinate role, which Tigellinus refused on the advice of Disra. For his insubordination, Tigellinus was executed on the spot, and Disra gladly agreed to take his place. (SWJ8, SWJ9, SWJ14, SWI66) Tiger this was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW) Tiger an Imperial assault transport operative during the Galactic Civil War. It was assigned to the Pakuuni System. (TIE) Tight Wing this was a military tactic, used to enhance the abilities of a group of starfighters by condensing their formation into a tight grouping. While this eliminated maneuverability, it increased the amount of firepower from a single unit. The ability to maintain a tight wing often lasted just a few moments, during the opening engagement of a battle, when pilots of lesser skill dropped behind the main wing because they couldn't match the speed or direction of their wingmates. (SOG) Tigona Minamore this was the name of a distingished member of the Toong society. (UANT) Tigress this Alliance agent was hidden as a librarian within the Imperial archives. She befriended the Lady Amber Comark, despite her father's position as an Imperial Moff. When Tigress was discovered, she was quickly removed from her position and tortured. Amber felt nearly powerless as the Empire's interrogation eventually killed Tigress, until she resolved to pick up where Tigress left off. The lapse in contact between the two "Tigress" agents caused some concern within Alliance Intelligence, although Amber's help in exposing the Death-Hunter project was invaluable. (SWJ9) Tigris a Firrerreo youth, son of Hethrir and Rillao. It was hoped that Tigris would have a great deal of Force sensitivity, given that his parents were both Jedi. Their master, Darth Vader, hoped that their son would grow to become a great Sith warrior. However, Tigris was born without any Force sensitivity whatsoever, and was all but forgotten by his father. Rillao placed him on one of the Firrerreo colony ships, but Hethrir discovered him there and woke him up. Tigris was then relegated to slave status, doing whatever menial tasks Hethrir appointed. When Hethrir's treachery was revealed to Tigris at Crseih Station, he was through into a mass of emotional confusion. His mother took him back, to begin drawing him out of the shell Hethrir had built. (CS) Tih Qiqah this elderly Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was in charge of maintaining the Baanu Miir, during the invasion of the New Republic's galaxy. Tih Qiqah died about a year before the Battle of Duro, and had been unable to stop the aging of the worldship using the standard protocols of the Shapers. During his last year of life, Tuh Qiqah demanded a stream of creche-tales be told to him, as his mind slowly degenerated. Suung Aruh, the closest thing Tih Qiqah had to an apprentice, learned little from the old being. (EVR) Tihaz Theater this was the largest and most famous theater in the city of Ariana, on Garos IV. (SWJ12) Tii this was a form of molded material created by the Yuuzhan Vong from endocrine secretions. (EVC) T'iil see T'ill (SWEPH) Ti'il Tea this is a hot beverage brewed from the t'iil plant's leaves. It is assumed this is another spelled of t'iil. (SA1) T'iil-T'iil a sparkling alcoholic drink similar to champagne, served chilled for best flavor. (HSL) Tiisheraan a planet. (TTSB) Tija, Kem this Imperial officer was the Executive Director of COMPNOR's Sanbra Sector Coalition for Progress. An Art Group Monitor, Tija had great misgivings about the publication of The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life. He worked with Bront Autin to attempt to detain Tem Eliss and stop publication, but was unsuccessful in both endeavors. (GG12) Tik this starfighter pilot served the New Republic as a member of Rogue Squadron during the second decade of the Republic's tenure. Tik was beleived to have been killed during the Republic's investigation of the attack on the Free Lance by a Yuuzhan Vong warship. The Yuuzhan Vong were still in the area, and destroyed several starfighters before being driven off. Tik's starfighter was damaged and his ejection seat left him extra-vehicular until his body could be recovered. Tik survived, and assisted in the evacuation of Dubrillion. (DTO) Tika this was one of the largest cities founded by the Aramandi on their homeworld of Aram. (FBS) Tikaris this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG) Tikaris, Rachael this noted doctor specialized in the field of prosthetic medicine during the height of the New Order. (EGA) Tikeris one of the seven major clans of Ammuud. (CSA) Tikiar a predatory bird, often used as a hunting bird by many royal families in the Senex Sector. The name is sometimes spelled "tikkiar." (COJ, POT) Tikiar a sleek, dark-colored starship built by Mekuun and modelled after the tikiar bird. It has 5 lift engines. (COJ) Tikiarri a fierce, primitive race native to the jungles of the planet Joralla, the Tikiarri descended from predatory avians and remained fearsome predators throughout their history. Their average lifespan is about 30 Jorallan years, but only because so many males die in combat before they are twenty. They were made even more dangerous when a foolish trader introduced the Tikiarri to blaster technology, which gave the Tikiarri a distincyt advantage. Over the years, many of their hunts involved killing offworlders in order to obtain their blaster weapons. (PG1) Tiki-hava Arzid's primary star. (PDS) Tikiman this four-armed alien owned and operated the Free Access Grill, located in Narg Starport. Despite the oppression of aliens on the planet Narg, Tikiman was always friendly and congenial with his patrons. (TA) Tikkal Remb Mah this being was one of the Old Republic's most influential composers of classical music. (MBS) Tikkes this Quarren businessbeing was elected as a Senator by the Quarren on Calamari during the last decades of the Old Republic. Over time, Tikkes amased a huge fortune through the corruption and graft which sprung up shortly before Chancellor Valorum was voted out of power. During the year leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Senator Tikkes began to side with Orn Free Taa and the Senators who opposed Chancellor Finis Valorum's command of the Old Republic. As the years wore on and planets began to secede from the stagnating Republic, Senator Tikkes was one of the many voices in the Senate who called for the direct formation of the Army of the Republic, rather than voting on it and having the Amry's formation delayed by the constant bickering of the Senate. However, any political sway Senator Tikkes might have had was eliminated when he was implicated as part of a Thalassian slavery ring. Tikkes was taken to prison on Calamari and was replaced by Tundra Dowmeia, but later jumped bail and fled the planet. It was believed that Tikkes joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems shortly afterward. (IG1, COD, HNN4, HNN5, SWDB) Tikkes this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "cunning".

She returned because hated the greed which was taking over the galaxy, and wanted to make sure that her homeworld was made aware of the growing discontent in the galaxy. It was rumored that Essara had become bored with starfighting. After her return to Naboo and her appointment to Bravo Squadron, she developed a personal relationship with her wingmate, Dren Melne. She took the role of training Echo Flight, shortly before the Battle of Naboo, despite the fact that Dren wanted her to leave Naboo with him to work for the government of Agamar. During the defense of station TFP-9, it was revealed that Dren had actually made up his mind to leave the Naboo. Essara was unprepared for the treacherous way Dren decided to leave, and was forced to shoot him down when he began attacking Echo Flight pilots.

A lifeless world, Tilnes' orbit took it in between Cularin and Morasil at such a rate that the surface of Tilnes grew quite hot. Despite this, a form of scrub grass did grow on the surface, and yri worms inhabited the crust. During the Old Republic, a number of mining corporations took up residence on Tilnes, hoping to make their fortunes harvesting crystals. These crystals were discovered to be applicable in the creation of lightsabers, and even the flawed crystals could be used in blasters such as the T-32S. Because of the moon's orbit, these mining operations were forced to build their bases underground, and Tilnes was soon riddled by a network of tunnels. The construction and maintenance of these tunnels led to the startling discoveries of two hidden bases - one owned by the Caarites, and the other owned by the Thaereian Military - shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. The discoveries, coupled with the hard times incurred by the Clone Wars, meant that the Tilnes mines were no longer as profitable as they had once been.

(SWJ6) Timbra Ott this planet, located in the Kathol Outback, stands at the far end of the Galtea Run. Originally settled as a sister colony to Gandle Ott in order to accommodate those settlers who were looking for more isolation than usual, Timbra Ott became a penal colony maintained by the government of Kal'Shebbol after a series of earthquakes and tidal waves destroyed much of the settlement there. The planet's natural beauty recovered in time, and the convicts who were exiled there worked hard to make the planet liveable. When the Empire decided to strand the colonists on Timbra, rather than maintaining the facility, a series of riots broke out before a group of individuals took control of the planet and formed their own government. Since that time, the planet has re-asserted itself as a simple colony world, although most other residents of the Kathol Outback still consider the people of Timbra Ott to be convicts and criminals. (KO) Timbu this small herd beast was native to the rocky mountains of the planet Caluula. The beings who settled the planet had domesticated the timbu for use as a pack animal and mount.

Life continued for Timpel, but he often found himself unable to adequately complete his missions due to the limitations and restrictions imposed by the Jedi Council. Years later, on a mission to Antar 4, Timpel once again encountered the Force-sensitive Gotal he had dismissed years ago. The Gotal, known as Kaskutal, still harbored resentment toward the Jedi Order, but it was overshadowed by his admiration for the work of the Jedi Knights. Putting aside their differences, Timpel and Kaskutal began discussing the need for more action by the Jedi Order. Timpel decided that it was time to form an organization which was separate from the Jedi Order yet allied with their ideals and goals. Along with funding from Kaskutal, Timpel formed the Antarian Rangers. Unfortunately, Timpel died shortly afterward, leaving the administration of the Rangers to Kaskutal.

Despite its location, the Tingel Arm remained one of the least explored areas of the galaxy. Many xenobiologists theorized that the Yuuzhan Vong could have developed in this area, instead of in another galaxy. The Tingel Arm was the entry point of the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy, with the planets Belkadan and Helska being the first to fall to the alien invaders.

(SWJ1) Tinn'lyi this nation of humans lived on the Tinn'lyis Islands of the planet Corsin, and had a somewhat symbiotic relationship with the selligores of the ocean. The Tinn'lyi would gather plant material and leave it on shore for the selligores to feed on, and in return the selligores would allow the Tinn'lyi to drag large nets behind them in order to catch fish.

It was Tiny F who discovered an encrypted transmission from Jir Tramsig to the Thaereian Military leaders dispersed throughout the Cularin System, demanding that the Thaereians crush any and all resistance they encountered immediately. Tramsig's message apparently expressed a certain fear that the Cularin Militia might be able to rally the populace to oppose any Thaereian control. The message eventually found its way to the Cularin Militia and Senator Lavina Wren, who took the message quite seriously. (LFCW) Tiny F see TINYF (LFCW) TINYF this acronym began showing up as graffiti on the buildings of Cularin, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. As it began to spread to buttons, shirts, and stickers, the population became aware that it stood for "Thaere Is Not Your Friend," and was an open criticism of the presence of the Thaereian Military in the Cularin System. After a news report by Ryk Osentay, many beings simply referred to the acronym as "Tiny F". (LFCW) Tion an Imperial noble, he was also a task force leader for the Emperor.

They were able to discover from Tion that the plans were being moved to the Imperial vaults, but Leia could not control her anger. She accidentally let Tion know she had inside information by revealing the code name 'Death Star,' and he attempted to arrest her.

It is far from the Core Worlds, but embraces some of the oldest and most ancient human civilizations in the galaxy. During the early years of the Old Republic, the Tion Hegemony was ruled by Xim the Despot. Before Xim, the Livien League controlled the Hegemony. As the Republic grew and the Tion Hegemony was "liberated," the sector saw a decline it its fortunes. However, the Hegeomny remained the breadbasket of the Tion, providing foodstuffs for all three of the Tion's sectors. Han Solo worked for Grigmin in the Tion Hegemony at one time. The Hegemony, being so far from Imperial control, was a home to many out-of-work smugglers, swindlers, and con artists who were trying to improve their lots in life. Note that Agents of Chaos: Hero's Trial states that the outer reaches of Hegemony were made up of 175 planets.

He was unprepared for the arrival of General Grievous and a small Separatist army, which quickly took control of Utapau and established a base of operations there. Thus, when Obi-Wan Kenobi suddenly appeared in Pau City, Tion Medon provided him with a wealth of information on Grievous' forces arrayed in the city. Tion Medon was portrayed by Bruce Spence in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, SWI77, ROF, VD3) Tion Mil/Sci Industries manufacturers of the Guardian-class patrol ship.

(HNN4) Tionne one of Luke's first Jedi apprentices on Yavin 4, Tionne was a near-human minstrel and historian. A native of the planet of Rindao, she learned of the Force from her grandmother, who instilled in Tionne the passion for ancient Jedi legends. This was unusual, for all knowledge of the Jedi was thought to have been eradicated from her homeworld. Because of her retellings of the Jedi histories, Tionne's grandmother was executed by Imperial stormtroopers in a public square. Tionne took her grandmother's stringed instrument and fled the planet, searching for any trace of information on the Jedi. She had very little Force-sensitivity, but Luke Skywalker saw enough promise in her that he invited her to help discover the ancient Jedi teachings. She eventually became a full Jedi Knight, but her powers were somewhat limited. Nevertheless, she put her talents to good use, serving as a historian and administrator of the Yavin 4 praxeum. She eventually fell in love with Kam Solusar, and the two were married shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Kam and Tionne served as the caretakers of the youngest Jedi trainees during the invasion, gathering them aboard the Errant Venture and eventually settling them into a new base at the Maw Installation.

Like other cities on the planet, Tipoca City was erected on heavy stilts that extended through the water and into the bedrock of the ocean floor, and spread across more than 150 kilometers of ocean surface at Kamino's western equator. These stilts had thin profiles, which allowed the crashing waves to flow around them, rather than break against them. The buildings of Tipoca City were conical in shape, with wide, flared based and tall towers at their center. This configuration allowed the strong winds which swept the planet to move around and over the buildings without much drag, eliminating a large portion of the environmental stresses they had to endure. Access to Tipoca City was protected by a hermetically-sealed series of airlocks. To most beings in the galaxy, the sterile white color of Tipoca City was quite boring. However, the Kaminoans could see into spectra beyond visual light, and could discern swirling patterns in the stark walls. It was within the walls of Tipoca City that the Kaminoans established the huge cloning facility which produced the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars. (SWI60, AOTCN, SWDB, IWE2) Tippet this young Ewok male was the betrothed of Kaimda, during the months following the battle of Endor.

Tippet was led to believe that Kamida was assaulted by a Lahsbee, on a false rumor planted by the Hiromi spy Hirog, setting off a war between the Ewoks and the Lahsbees. In an effort to defuse the situation, Lando Calrissian suggested that Tippet fight the Lahsbee delegate in a duel to determine who would win Kamida's hand. The fight quickly got out of hand when the Lahsbee morphed into a Huhk. When other Lahsbees joined in to subdue the Huhk, the Ewoks realized that both races were fighting over nothing.

(EVE) Tira Wils this near-human woman led a ragtag life, serving with a number of different mercenary groups before accepting a job working as a special agent for Colonel Jir Tramsig in the Cularin System during the last decades of the Old Republic. She was distinguished by her blue-green skin, white hair, and milky-white eyes. As she gained Tramisg's confidence, her role changed to his unofficial chief of security and bodyguard. (LFC) Tiraan, Gen this man was a native of the planet Chandrila, and developed a talent for starship engineering. He was hired by Incom Industries, and was known as the youngest member of the X-Wing starfighter development team.

(WOA32) Tirahnn this star was the primary body in the Tirahnn system, located in the Zeemacht Cluster. (WOA32) Tirahnn the heroes of the Battle of Yavin stopped over on this planet, the primary world of the Tirahnn System, and were captued by Kharys and her various alien cohorts. The planet was a major trade nexus, serving as the capital of the Zeemacht Cluster of solar systems, and was under the control of the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The average day on Tirahnn lasted twenty-eigth standard hours, and its year lasted 272 local days. The planet was orbited by nine moons. (LTA1, MCA1, WOA32) Tirahnnite this was the term used to describe the human population of the planet Tirahnn. (WOA32) Tiran this ancient Drall scientist proved, some 35,000 years before the Clone Wars, that space and time were inseparable. Tiran also proved that the speed of light was an absolute boundary that could not be crossed. Many of the physical laws he confirmed were later thrown into question by the discovery of hyperspace, and the ways in which a starship could enter and exit it with a hyperdrive. Later investigation revealed that Tiran's Theory of Universal Reference did not preclude an object traveling faster than light; it just prohibited an object traveling at the speed of light. (MBS) Tiran Vos this was the name of a noted Zabrak individual. (UANT) Tiranga this Hutt controlled much of the tax collection operations of the planet Socorro during the New Order. An exile from his homeworld, Tiranga suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury as a child, and was considered a runt among his own kind. As an adult, Tiranga was just 2.5 meters in length, and the majority of his torso and tail was paralyzed. However, Tiranga was nonetheless a powerful figure on this adopted homeworld fo Socorro, and had the backing of the Society of the Black Bha'lir to add credence to his position. When other Hutts learned of Tiranga's survival, they put out a death mark for his head. This effectively kept Tiranga on Socorro at all times, unless accompanied by a heavy Black Bha'lir guard. (BSS) Tiranga's Loft this pleasure club was owned and operated by Tiranga the Hutt, and was located in Vakeyya, on the planet Socorro. It was here that the Hutt also held his public tax assessment proceedings. The establishment was located in a dilapidated warehouse building which was dotted with signs that indicated it was condemned. In reality, though, the interior of the warehouse was an immense bar, casino, and dance hall. A double layer of blast shields protects the building's true nature from being discovered, and layers of packed sand inside the walls help deaden any vibration and make it virtually sound-proof. The gravity inside the building is kept at two-thirds standard, in deference to Tiranga's spinal injury. Rumor had it that Lando Calrissian was a partner in the Loft, having helped finance its construction. (BSS) Tir'arr Zur this was the name of a noted Ranth individual, distinguished in the history of the planet Caaraz. (UANT) Tircee this was a common Ayrou name. (UANT) Tiree Tiree was an undercover Alliance operative, posing as an aide to Governor Cuvir. This allowed Tiree to obtain large amounts of Imperial data for the Alliance in this position, until he was discovered by Cuvir when he tried to collect a datapad full of fleet movements in the Tandell System. A scuffle ensued, and Tiree was forced to shoot Cuvir. He was discovered and rescued by the medical droid 2-1B, who felt no loss at Cuvir's death. Together, they fled Imperial space for the Alliance. Tiree later fled Alliance service unexpectedly, returning to Questal to try and find out what happened to Rogan, the husband of his sister Tyerle. He was incapacitated by Moff Bandor's hurlothrumbic generator, but was eventually rescued by friends within the Alliance. After recovering, Tiree returned to the Alliance, and worked as a field agent in the Tharin and Arkanis Sectors. He was paired with Yom Argo during the Alliance's investigation of the planet Iskalon, and they worked to stir up anti-Imperial sentiments among the members of The School. In an effort to put an end to their actions, the Empire attacked and decimated their homeworld of Telfrey. (MTS, GCQ, AIR, GMR1) Tiree a Rebel fighter pilot killed during the Battle of Yavin, Tiree was known for his daring raid on an Imperial-held research facility.

(GMS) Tirginni Beast this creature, native to an unsettled planet in Kathol Sector, was the favored prey of the mole serpent. These large beasts had scent glands which produced a distinctive smell. When extracted and refined, the scent glands produced a subtle perfume known as Tirginni Cologne. (SOT) Tirginni Cologne this cologne was extracted from the scent glands of the tirginni beast, which was native to the Kathol Sector. The subtle scent of Tirginni Perfume was perceived by only a few species, among them the Noghri, Twi'leks, Whiphids, and Hutts. These species described the colgone as pleasant mildly intoxicating. Because of the fact that tirginni beasts lived on an unsettled planet, the cost for each milliliter of the cologne was quite expensive. (SOT) Tiro, Ti-Amun this man was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who taught at the Almas Academy during the years surrounding the Clone Wars. He was strongly opposed to the demands from the Jedi Council on Coruscant that required all available Jedi to return for duty with the Republic Armed Forces, and turned his back on Master Jeht's explanation for the recall. (LFCW) Tirog a bounty hunter who often assisted the Alliance. (RPG) Tiron Til this Sullustan as known as a gangster and crimelord who worked along the Essien Run during the height of the New Order. (AIR) Tirranna this female Wookiee served the Alliance as a field agent within the elite Eclipse Team. In her spare time, she worked to organize the resistance forces on Kashyyyk, in an effort to overthrow Imperial control of her homeworld. (AIR) Tirrith this unusual lifeform, found on the planet Beheboth, emitted a psychometric display of lights and sound that could render a human unconscious in a matter of minutes. The Tirrith had an empathic culture, in which the feelings of one part were shared by the entire organism. The few scientists who traveled to Beheboth during the early years of the New Republic were unable to ascertain whether or not the Tirrith was a single organism made up of millions of individual minds, or whether they existed in several thousand colonies of various sizes. When a colony of Tirrith was captured by Gideon Longspar, it was forced to do his bidding until Luke Skywalker arrived on Beheboth. Longspar realized that the Tirrith exuded a mild form of knockout gas, that could be used to incapacitate individuals in combat. Longspar kept his Tirrith in a special container, releasing them when needed. Luke's contact with the Force allowed him to help free the Tirrith, after defeating Longspar in battle. The Tirrith then used their unusual abilities to seed Beheboth's atmosphere, gratefully helping to end the centuries-long drought by causing rains to fall. Shortly afterward, however, Mils Giel and his assistants, Malka and Kimp Minmirn, captured a small hive of Tirrith and began to experiment with them, creating a mutant variant of Tirrith that only wanted to kill anything it came into contact with. Contained in speciallized globes, these Tirrith were part of a living bomb that Giel believed would become the Empire's next superweapon. Under Minmirn's manipulations, these mutant Tirrith could exude a toxic version of their knockout gas, capable of killing any being in range. These Tirrith could also inflict a "mind scream" onto the mind of a Force-sensitive individual, rendering them unconscious for a short time. Evidence of Giel's plans was discovered by Luke Skywalker, in the journals kept by Malka, and this evidence was used to generate a search for Giel, in an effort to put an end to his experiments on the Tirrith. (LTA3, MC66, PH) Tirsa an industrial world. (SWJ2) Tirsa Wargear Corporation an armaments manufacturer based on the planet Tirsa, they made Leviathan submersible carriers.

(GCG) TIS Zeta 19 this Corporate Sector Authority light aerospace patrol fighter was known in spacer jargon as a "gig." It measured 15 meters in length, and could achieve speeds of 950 kilometers and hour in atmosphere. A pilot and a gunner made up the crew, and there was room for two passengers. The Zeta 19 was armed with a pair of laser cannons. (CSA) Tisane a warm beverage brewed on the planet Gamorr. (SWJ14) Tishwii the leaves of this plant were used by the Yuuzhan Vong during sacrificial ceremonies. The leaves were dried and burned to create an aromatic incense which was believed to attract the attention of the gods. (BP) Tiss meaning "frivolous", this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG) Tissido, Kendra this woman served as the Captain of the Quickwit, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Tissido and her crew were attacked near Ando, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, when they dropped out of hyperspace to recalibrate the ship's navigational computer. (HNN5) Tiss'shar this was the native language of the Tiss'sharl race. (UANT) Tiss'shar a reptilian, bipedal race native to the planet Tiss'sharl. The average Tiss'shar is a slightly-built reptile with a thin body and long neck. They are extremely agile, and are very strong for their size. Their are six known races of Tiss'shar, each characterized by their unique coloration and markings. These patterns manifest themselves on the backs, arms, legs, and tails of the individual races. As a race, they are shrewd businessbeings with a flair for taking out their rivals. This has carried over into those Tiss'shar who are excellent hunters, and many of these vicious reptiles have been hired as assassins or bodyguards. (CSA, GG12) Tiss'sharl this mild planet is the homeworld of the Tiss'shar race. It is covered with perilous, humid jungles. The average year on Tiss'sharl lasts 11 standard months.

(GG12) Tissue Binder this small device, found in many medical kits, was used to fuse together flesh in such a way that it could heal without additional damage. Because of the delicate nature of such an operation, the user of a tissue binder had to have steady hands and a strong constitution. (SHPT) Tist this Karran warrior was one of the subjects studied by Doctor Nardah. He felt that hi-tech weapons would be usless against the Empire, and vowed to defeat the Imperials with his own strengths.

(SWDB) Titania this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was stationed in Kathol Sector, under the command of Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, during the early years of the New Republic. The Titania was supported by a Dreadnaught, a Nebulon-B frigate, and a CR90 corvette. During the Battle of Kathol, the Titania took heavy damage from the Bothan Combat Response Element, but maintained enough power to continue to fires its guns. This allowed time for the Bastion and the Raptor to reach Kathol and joint he fight. Eventually, the Titania sustained too much damage, and burned up in a fiery explosion. (E) Titanicus this gas giant was the fifth world in the Sacor, or Sacorria, System. It was orbited by fourteen moons. (CCW) Titanite this rare mineral was found on relatively large quantities on Haariden, buried deep in the planet's crust near its core. Because of this, it was extremely difficult and expensive to mine. Its worth, however, more than made up for the cost of its extraction. Because of this, the native population of Haariden broke into civil war over the rights to control the lands over which veins of titanite were found. Experimentation with the synthesis and extraction of titanite revealed that it could be refined to produce a substance that could be used in the production of bacta. (JQ4) Titavian see Goff. (WSW) Titavian IV this exploration vessel was owned and operated by the Intergalactic Zoological Society during the final decades of the Old Republic. Like many other ships owned by the IZS, the Titavian IV was a floating collection of lifeforms that had been gathered from across the galaxy, in the hopes of preserving some species and investigating other. The ship was based out of Mycroft, but it was attacked and left adrift during the last stages of the Clone Wars. It was unclear whether the ship had been attacked by privateers or Separatists, but an outdated distress signal used by the Jedi Order was received from the Titavian IV by Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was surprised to find Quinlan Vos aboard ths ship, fighting off a collection of repulsor-equipped morp droids. Vos revealed that he was being tracked by Asajj Ventress and Tol Skorr, and had tried to hide out in the ship's abandoned hulk. Ventress and Skorr managed to find him, but Vos' own ship was damaged, and he was forced to fight for his freedom. He agreed to explain his situation to Obi-Wan if they were able to escape from the Dark Jedi. (RDR) Tito made famous in a series of holo-videos from Adarlon, this boy could not speak. Despite this handicap, Tito single-handedly freed his planet from tyranny. (GG6) Titon this was the name given to the female leviathan calf, born in the oceans of Dorumaa around the time of the Battle of Naboo. Titon and its sibling, Jessel, were apparently abandoned by their mother after their birth. The Alliance for the Creation of Habitable Environments monitored the growth and development of the calves, hoping to preserve what they believed were the only two leviathan's left in Dorumaa's seas. (LFCW) Titroxinate this was one of the most potent neurotoxins in existence during the height of the Clone Wars. (MBS) Tivec Nuin this was a distinguished Lannik individual.

(CCW) Tizon this Koornacht Cluster planet was one of the original twelve Duskhan League worlds. (SOL) tizo'pil Yun'tchilat known as the Day of Comprehending the Will of the Gods, the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat was one of the most important rituals of the Yuuzhan Vong who invaded the galaxy. It was during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat that the dhuryams which had been grown aboard Ch'Gang Hool's seedship were to determine which was to be the World Brain to be installed on Coruscant. The dhuryams had been trained to use whatever resources were available to them to maintain a complex ecosystem in The Nursery, and the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat required them to use most of those same resources to defeat the other dhuryams. Only the last, surviving dhuryam would become the World Brain. To ensure that slaves were not used to artificially influence the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, Yuuzhan Vong warriors protected the central hub of the Nursery. Other warriors used shreeyam'tiz to further interfere with the link between the dhuryams and the slave seeds placed in the bodies of their slaves. Ideally, the dhuryams would determine their own fate, with only one dhuryam surviving to become the World Brain. Any slaves that had remained alive were executed by the Yuuzhan Vong, and the seedship was broken into a large number of smaller seedships by the dhuryam, for more effective dispersal of biological material to the target planet. When the Yuuzhan Vong tried to seed Coruscant, they were unaware of the motives of Jacen Solo, who had been aboard the seedship at the insistance of Nom Anor, who was working with Vergere to turn Solo to the True Way. As the dhuryams grew, Jacen befriended one of them, establishing a mutually beneficial relationship that helped the dhuryam outperform its brethern. However, during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, Jacen's efforts would have destroyed all the dhuryams - the last genetic descendents of the original World Brain on Yuuzhan'tar - if Vergere had not stepped in. Vergere pleaded with Jacen to to kill his new friend, the one surviving dhuryam, and Jacen relented. The dhuryam was installed on Coruscant, now renamed Yuuzhan'tar, and began to reshape the planet in the image of the longlost homeworld. It retained a vestige of its relationship with Jacen, and later agreed to help him monitor the Yuuzhan Vong's progress on Coruscant. (T) Tizowyrm this small, grub-like creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to act as a decoder. Each tizowyrm was 3-5 centimeters in length, and kept in a small coffer. When a Yuuzhan Vong needed to be able to understand and communicate with an alien species, they would insert a tizowyrm into their ear. The tizowyrm would crawl inside and lodge itself near the brain, where it would intercept the sounds of communication and store data. Each tizowyrm could store an immense amount of data as well as perform incredibly-fast, real-time manipulation of the information it received. This allowed the tizowyrm to subliminally provide the Yuuzhan Vong using it with information on how to communicate with the other species. However, the tizowyrm tired after prolonged use, and could literally vibrate itself to death if it wasn't taken out to rest. (VP) Tizzin, Dane this Imperial officer was just a Lieutenant when he was placed in charge of a TIE Fighter maintenance bay. Among those working for him were the parents of the woman known as Sapphire. Tizzin was generally incompetent, however, and his lack of ability resulted in an explosion in the fighter bay. Tizzin himself was out of the bay at the time of the explosion, despite the fact that he was on-duty. His family connections within the Empire managed to remove any culpability on his part and saved his career, blaming the incident on Sapphire's parents. He later was appointed to the position of Commodore, and served as an attache to the Moff of Kira Sector. (CRO, SS) T'jaleq Kith'Araquia this noted Araquia Doctor and epidemiolgist was credited with identifying the disease known as the Direllian Plague.

He was known to be a dedicated to and passionate about preserving the rainforests of his homeworld of Kirtania, and he also had a wicked sense of humor. He was also a pacifist, but realized that his people needed to something in order to throw off the Imperial yoke. When a group of Alliance agents arrived on Kirtania to obtain a cure for the Direllian Plague, Kith'Araquia enlisted their help in planning as assault on the local Imperial base. In the aftermath of the battle, Kith'Araquia and his forces collected a huge number of Shiarha roots for use in combatting the Plague. (SWJ1) Tjulan Kwaad this Yuuzhan Vong, a member of Domain Kwaad, served as a Master Shaper during the invasion of the known galaxy. Tjulan Kwaad did not approve of Nen Yim's heretical methods for regenerating the bio-technology of the Yuuzhan Vong, but was forced to accede to the wishes of Supreme Overlord Shimrra in allowing Nen Yim to continue her work. To this end, Tjulan Kwaad agreed to allow Kae Kwaad - who was actually the Supreme Overlord's jester Onimi - to travel to the Baanu Miir to act as Nen Yim's Master.

Also note that the Star Wars Trading Game - A New Hope expansion set claims TK-421 was a clone. (SW, MC, TCG3) TK-577 this was the ID number of an Imperial stormtrooper who was part of the forces which were deployed on the first Death Star. TK-577 was one of the troopers who pursued Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, after they escaped from the space station's trash compactor. (JKG, JKG3) TK-622 this was the callsign of one of the Imperial stormtroopers who was dispatched to maintain order on the planet Ralltiir, during the months just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Two years earlier, TK-622 saved the life of Commander Akobi, and Akobi showed his gratitude by ensuring that TK-622 got promoted to new positions whenever he was moved. The pair honed their combat skills together, and developed an innate trust of each other's abilities. After his entire squad was ambushed and killed by Ralltiiri rebels, TK-622 questioned the doctrines of the Empire in his next meeting with Akobi. A Sergeant at the time, TK-622 was again forced to put his life on the line when a hidden thermal detonator went off near them. Shortly afterward, Akobi was transferred to a posting on the first Death Star, and TK-622 went with him. Upon arrival, TK-622 discovered a sabotaged RA-7 protocol droid, again saving Akobi's life. His investigation led him to the discovery that the droid's command programming had been altered by an Alliance agent. After another droid claimed the life of Commander Akobi, TK-622 tracked down the saboteur, one of the rebels who fought against the Empire on Ralltiir. As the two struggled, the Alliance launched its attack on the Death Star. As he reaffirmed his own belief in the Empire, TK-622 was killed when the battle station was destroyed in the Battle of Yavin. (SWESL) TK-717 this was the callsign of one of the Imperial stormtroopers assigned to TK-622's squad, onboard the first Death Star. (SWESL) TK-718 this was the indentification number of a stormtrooper who was garrisoned on Garos IV during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ4) TK-875 this was the identification number of one of the stormrtoopers who tried to shoot Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa aboard the first Death Star, when the two rebels tried to swing across an interior chasm. (TCG4) T'karzhk this was one of the more common names given to Colicoid individuals.

The tkun wrapped its muscular body around the neck of its victim and constricted until the victim was no longer breathing. (BP) Tkur this was one of the few Tchuukthai ever to be encountered off their native homeworld. (WOTC) TL-118 known as the StarHammer, this was Subpro's short-range attack fighter, developed during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It measured 35 meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. Its weaponry included a pair of light laser cannons, a pair of twin laser cannons, a concussion missile launcher, and a bomb bay, making it capable of taking on heavy assault missions. Subpro planned to market the starship to either the Alliance or the Empire, whichever bid the highest. The TL-118 was capable of travelling through hyperspace, but was equipped with a slow Class 3 hyperdrive. The Empire rejected the design, and the Alliance couldn't afford it, so Subpro sold the remaining ships to the highest bidders, which often was local militias or planetary defense fleets. (IA) TL-1200 this was one of the TL-series of freighters produced by Suwantek Systems. The spear-shaped TL-1200 measured some fifty-two meters in length, was armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, and required a crew of three officers and two gunners to operate. It could accommodate up to six passengers in comfort. (TF) TL-1800 a Suwantek Systems starship design, the TL-1800 was a 30-meter-long craft which typical of most commercial freighters. It was lightly armed, poorly shielded, and slow. It was sometimes referred to as a "Waddle" by starship captains. Despite its appearance and perception, the TL-1800 was a reliable craft, especially after Suwantek replaced the Portal Delta nav computer with a more reliable Fabritech model. The TL-1800 required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could transport up to seven passengers and 110 metric tons of cargo, depending on the interior configuration. An additional 300 metric tons of cargo space could be realized with the addition of cargo pods. The TL-1800 was armed with a pair of laser cannons. (SS) TL3 this was the model number of Neuro-Saav's miniature holo-imaging package, designed for use on a droid. It linked to a droids's existing visual sensor system and provided a first-person view of whatever the droid "saw." The TL3 could be upgraded to include a recording device to store the images the droid witnessed. (FTD) TL-4 this series of tailor droids was produced during the early years of the New Order. (AIR) Tla this Yuuzhan Vong was the Commander of the battle fleet which destroyed Obroa-skai and then attempted to have Elan infiltrate the Jedi Knights. He assumed command of the fleet after the deaths of Shedao Shai and Deign Lian at Ithor, but was forced to work with Harrar and the priests. Tla agreed with the plan to have the priestess Elan pose as a defector, but the plan's failure led to the death of Elan and the loss of Vergere. When the mission was reviewed with supreme commander Nas Choka, Tla was removed from his command of the invasion fleet and reassigned to the Outer Rim. (HT) t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak this Xi Charrian was a member of Workshop Xcan during the final years of the Old Republic. When the mechno-chair of Nute Gunray was captured on Cato Neimoidia, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that one of the rear legs appeared to have been adorned with his signature carvings. He was angry and confused when the Jedi arrived on Charros IV to question him about it, then tried to escape when the Jedi linked his work to the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Jedi managed to recapture him, and t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak revealed that the mechno-chair had been brought to Charros IV by someone other than Gunray or his cronies. Although t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak didn't know the being's name, he was able to tell the Jedi that the hyperwave transceiver in the mechno-chair had come from Escarte. (LEV) T'laerean Larn this young, Sullustan male discovered that he was sensitive to the Force while growing up on his homeworld of Gelgelar. T'laerean learned that he could enter the mind of another creature, starting with the reeho birds and small primates of the swampy jungles. T'learean had to have physical contact with his companion, but then could place his own consciousness inside the mind of the other creature. T'laerean could then travel a short distance within the companion, and had to return the creature to his sleeping form in order to return to his own body. T'laerean trained under the Wise Man of Kooroo, but was impetuous and young. While melding with a reeho bird, T'laerean learned of a Glarsaur attack on his village. Unfortunately, the reeho was caught by the child Reanyn, who mother planned to kill the bird and use it in a stew. This would have left T'larean's mind adrift. The situation worsened when Reanyn believed T'laerean was dead in his bed, having fallen into a deep sleep while controlling the bird. Although the reeho managed to escape, it was soon captured by a Glarsaur who tried to eat it alive. His consciousness suddenly fled back to his body as the reeho died, but T'laerean had a headache for many days after. (SWJ14) Tlakh'sar one of the Noghri clans.

The t'landa Til also had two thin arms which ended in four delicate fingers, and speciallized glands at their elbows exuded an odorous oil which protected their skin. Their bodies ended in thin, whiplike tails that they carried curled atop their backs.

Like the other Shamed ones, though, T'less believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered.

The internal matrix of the crystal reflected and refracted light into a powerful beam of swirling colors, providing the energy necessary to power Renatta's needle ships. While not very expensive, Tobal lenses were difficult to locate on the open market, and this lack of replacement parts eventually drove Renatta out of business. The Tobal lens, if not handled carefully by the installer, could blind a being for hours if viewed directly. When properly shaped, installed and calibrated, a Tobal lens could convert heat to light at close to one hundredd percent efficiency, making it a near-perfect energy source to power the photon drives of the needle ship.

Ceel and his officers devised the plan of attack that had the Gungans draw out and detain the Trade Federation's droid army, while allowing Queen Amidala and her small force to infiltrate the city of Theed and capture Nute Gunray and Rune Haako. The battle waged on in an even sort of match until the droid army managed to knock out the heavy Gungan shields. At this point, Ceel ordered a full retreat, hoping to regroup his forces and attack again. However, the droid army swept over them and prevented a full retreat.

Three draping appendages ringed the lower part of their skulls. The coloration of these lekku evolved as a form of camouflage, confusing any predator which might try to hunt the Togruta. Many beings believed that the Togrutas were venomous, but this was not true. This belief was started when an individual first witnessed a Togruta feeding on a thimiar, which writhed in its death throes as if poisoned. On their homeworld, Torguta lived in dense tribes which had strong community ties. The montrals of the Togruta were hollow, providing the Togruta with a way to gather information about their environment ultrasonically.

It was Master Tohno's part in the mission to infiltrate the Separatist fortress and destroy it, which Obi-Wan and Anakin worked with their clone trooper squadrons to create a diversion. She was chosen for the mission because her studies with her previous Master had centered on architecture and engineering, skills that allowed her to understand the unique buildings of Zaadja and get inside when others could figure out the correct pathways, then set explosives in positions that would bring the entire structure down swiftly. She managed to get inside the fortress, but discovered an entire nest of Geonosians waiting for her. With the Force, she managed to get past them, but was seen by a sentry before she could set the explosives. She ordered the others to remain outside, despite the fact that her success in the mission would mean her own death. Although Anakin tried to rescue her, Tohno convinced that he needed to let her go in order to fulfill this mission. She needed to come to peace with her death on her own terms, not with unnecessary deaths included. Anakin reluctantly cut off his pursuit, and although she was attacked by a squad of Geonosians, Master Tohno was able to set off the explosives she carried. The fortress was destroyed, and the mission was completed successfully, but Anakin continued to struggle the need for so many Jedi to sacrifice themselves to the war.

However, Tojjevvuk's father Tvrrdko would not let his son be killed, and Tojjevvuk was brought up with the protection of his family, and grew to maturity. Tojjevvuk threatened Chewbacca, shortly after learning that Chewbacca had been courting Mallatobuck. Tojjevvuk believed that he was more worthy of her, challenged Chewbacca to a fight, even though it broke the rules of honor among the Wookiees.

A tall, well-muscled man who kept his white hair long and braided into a thick ponytail, Commander Tok chafed at commanding his forces from a distance. He longed to be at the front lines, but Count Dooku wanted him alive, so that he could continue to rally the people of Brentaal against the Republic's forces. Tok's base of operations was in the prison facility on Brentaal, which the Separatists converted into an easily-defended fortress. A concerted attack by the Jedi Knights seemed doomed from the start, since much of the intelligence used to plan the attack had come from Separatist espionage agents. Jedi Master Shaak Ti, along with Quinlan Vos and a single clone trooper, managed to gain the confidence of three prisoners - Sagoro Autem, Lyshaa, and Ryyk - eventually defeated Tok's forces and liberated the planet. During the fight, Tok and Master Ti fought briefly, before the lightsaber of the wounded Jedi pierced Tok through the chest. Jerrod Maclain was installed as the new governor of Brentaal, replacing Arcel Mosbree who was arrested for his part in opening Brentaal to the Separatists. (SWI70, J2) Toka a primitive race native to the Rafa System, it was thought that the Toka were the descendants of the Sharu race, given that they hold so many of the Sharu legends in reverence. The Toka live in the ancient Sharu buildings, and their society and religion are based on the Sharu legends and histories. Rokur Gepta learned that the Toka, like the humans who inhabit the Rafa System, arrived there from other systems a long time ago. The Toka were believed to have arrived first, and had the first contacts with the Sharu. This contact was broken when the Sharu mysteriously disappeared, and the Toka have been affected ever since. This disappearance of the Sharu has accounted for their lack of intelligence and inability to advance technologically, and thus the Toka have been dubbed the Broken People. Since the disappearance of the Sharu, the Toka have become fairly simple-minded, and exist only to tend the life-orchards of the Rafa System, growing the beautiful and potent life-crystals. Gepta also learns that the Toka themselves are human stock, withered with apparent age due to their close interaction with the life-crystals. All of this knowledge held by Gepta, of course, is proven mere legend when Lando Calrissian and Mohs discover the resting place of the Mindharp. It is then revealed that the Toka are, in actuality, the Sharu themselves. When the Sharu civilization was at its height, the Sharu were scared by an unknown event. This caused them to begin hiding all record of themselves and their civilization in the huge computer banks found throughout the Rafa System. These were disguised as simple buildings. The Sharu also hid themselves from prying eyes by locking away all their knowledge in these computer systems. They developed the life-crystals as a way to continualy suck the knowledge and intelligence from succeeding generations, perpetuating the illusion of the ignorant Toka. A single Toka from each generation was allowed to maintain some of the ancient knowledge. This Toka, the High Singer, was charged with keeping the legends of the Key and the Mindharp alive until the Bearer and the Emissary came to the Rafa System. This would signal to the Mindharp that the threat to the Sharu had passed, and they could emerge from their disguise as the Toka and re-establish themselves. (LCM) Toka this Mon Calamari served as an Admiral in the Alliance's Navy, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War.

This substance was extremely slippery, and could make any surface nearly frictionless.

Among his most notable quotes, Toklar once said, "The tide will slacken, the whirlpool will shrink, the krakana will cower. Such is the power of a focused individual." (SOL, NEGC) Toklar this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name was sometimes used as an alternate spelling for Toka. (GCG) Toklhor bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong, this disgusting tick-like creature grew to almost two kilograms in mass. Easily distinguished by their foul smell, tokhlors were swollen with oils and mucus. It was this combination of bodily fluids that the Yuuzhan Vong employed as a way to stopping a pursuer. When thrown to the ground, a tokhlor exploded in a goopy mess, coating the ground with a film of slime known as tokhlor tallow. This substance was extremely slippery, and could make any surface nearly frictionless. When a pursuer ran over the slippery spot, they were thrown off-balance and often landed face-first on the ground, at which point the Yuuzhan Vong could disable them. (GMR8) Tokmia this was one of the planets, in addition to Allyuen and Hoth, singled out by Darth Vader as possible hiding places for the Alliance in the Anoat Sector.

A barely sentient race of beings known as the Oku evolved on the planet. Figg Excavations made a fortune from the planet's ores and crystal deposits, and left handouts for the Oku during each operation.

The average surface temperature on Tol Ado was well over 400 degrees Celsuis, and there was little natural atmosphere. The surface of the planet was formed of black coal, and the meager atmosphere was filled with swirling clouds of black coal dust. From space, Tol Ado appeared to suck up all the light around it, like a swirling black ball. Parnell established a six-billion-cell prison facility on the planet, recognizing that the bleak landscape would only help to strangle the hopes of a prisoner. Parnell installed 124 sensor satellites in orbit around the planet, in order to maintain security on the planet.

The remaining four members, including Sivron, were exiled to the Ryloth wastes. Tol Sivron killed the other three Twi'Leks during their first night of exile, and was trying to make it to civilization when he discovered Wilhuff Tarkin setting up an Imperial refueling station on the planet. Tarkin recognized Sivron's potential from the story he told, and took Sivron under his wing. Sivron proved himself an excellent manager, and was promoted to his position as Chief Administrator of the Maw Installation by the newly-promoted Grand Moff Tarkin. He is extremely obsessed with following Imperial doctrine to the letter. Tol Sivron is killed when the prototype Death Star he has commandeered is sucked into the black holes of the Maw and destroyed. Note that Star Wars: Epsiode II - Attack of the Clones indicates that the Death Star was first conceived by the Geonosians and Count Dooku, so Tol Sivron's role in its development may be rendered apocryphal. (JS, COTF, JASB, AOTC) Tol Velmoc Mountains this range of mountains, located on the planet Velmor, was riddled with caves and crevices. During the height of the New Order, rebels on the planet who resisted the Empire's presence on Velmor used the caves as hiding places.

They were forced to crash-land on the planet, and the sharp end of the Tusk disintegrated upon impact. The rest of the ship was more or less intact, and the Gamorreans turned it into The Broken Tusk bar. (WSV) Tolea Biqua this space station was erected in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius, and served as the base of operations for a gas and energy mining corporation. Tolea Biqua was unique among Genarius' floating cities in that its shielding system absorbed the radiation carried up by the storms which raged across Genarius, using the radiation as a source of power to maintain the station. From a distance, Tolea Biqua is a beautiful jewel hanging in the clouds of Genarius. However, upon closer investigation, it appears that the city was cobbled together from bits and pieces of every other floating city ever erected in the galaxy. The city was originally build on the orders of Riboga the Hutt, and evolved to become an example of bad taste and excess. (LFC) Tolen, Andi as a young child, this woman was abandoned by her parents on Tatooine. She learned to survive on her own, and claimed to have killed her first man at the age of twelve. Her life became a series of "kill or be killed" episodes, which eventually led her to the bounty hunting profession.

After several years working for Herogga, Andi set out on her own, but she maintained her loyalty to Herogga and often worked for him as a freelance hunter.

In this way, the virus could move from planet to planet. It infected a great number of worlds some twenty-five years before the Battle of Naboo, before the scientists and medical personnel of the Old Republic discovered a vaccine. Most who contracted the virus could be cured by the vaccine. It was later discovered that the planet Kegan had suffered an outbreak of the Toli-X virus, but because of their isolationist government, had never learned of the vaccine. A great many Keganites died because of their adherence to the General Good. (FFT) Tolk a small city, located on the west coast of Galleros, on the planet Zelos II.

While Tolok Naap agreed that he had known Rapuung, he claimed that the latter was mad in his accusations against Mezhan Kwaad. (EVC) Tolokai this stoic Gotal served as one of Mon Mothma's aides during the early years of the New Republic. Like all Gotals, Tolokai's sensitive horns allowed him to receive vibrations and eminations from those around him. This allowed him to anticipate any attacks which might be aimed at Mon Mothma. During a short break from his official duties, Tolokai was targeted by agents of Warlord Zsinj, who brainwashed him into believing Mon Mothma was an enemy as part of Project Funeral. The desire to kill her was activated by a seemingly inane phrase, and Tolokai tried to kill her with a hidden vibroblade. However, one of her other aides, Malan Tugrina, took the blade in his chest, diverting Tolokai's attack long enough for Mon Mothma to call for a security detail.

He quarantined himself from his family, effectively stopping its advance. He died alone in his house, and was later discovered by Gavin Darklighter and Emtrey during a sweep of the area. (KT) Tols Vengra this cyborged Jenet worked for Opun Mcgrrrr. He received his Aj^6 implant as a youth, in an effort to augment his already impressive memory. Tols hoped to become a high-ranking government official, but the surgery which connected the implant to his brain wiped out much of his personality and pride, and he decided to became an Imperial official. His attempts to join the Empire were thwarted by the fact that he wasn't human, and Tols was even threatened with slavery twice before he met up with Mcgrrrr. Using his enhanced brain, Tols went to work on Mcgrrrr's businesses, helping the Corellian to maximize his profits. Tols began skimming a portion of Mcgrrrr's profits for himself, secreting them away in hopes of being able to return to Garban with a small fortune.

Tolut himself was Force-sensitive, but lacked any formal training. Nevertheless, he could manipulate objects with the Force, and claimed that the Jedi were sent to Ansion to use their "magic" against the backwater natives. Luckily for the Jedi, Tolut was openminded enough to listen to them, especially after Luminara Unduli deftly maneuvered a pitcher of cold water over his head and dumped it on him. He was among the nine members of the Unity to vote in favor of Ansion remaining with the Old Republic. (APS) Toma one of Akanah's childhood Fallanassi friends.

Snapit sacrificed himself to allow the boys to escape, but Tomcat remained behind to steal Snapit's lightsaber. Later, Tomcat grew impatient with the Jedi, wishing to join the battle instead of doing menial duties and learning patience. He joined Lord Charny's forces, and gleefully killed a Sith in his first battle, but this only drew Tomcat closer to the Dark Side of the Force. When the Jedi appeared powerless to stop the Sith, Tomcat embraced the Dark Side fully. He joined Githany and the Sith, and was the being responsible for murdering Lord Charny. He chose to abandon the name Tomcat and use his true name, Darovit. Just before Lord Kaan unleashed the thought bomb, Tomcat and Bug faced each other in battle. Bug was injured by Githany, as she tried to collect Tomcat and escape before the bomb was activated. Before they could escape, Bug was killed by a falling stone and Githany fell into a deep chasm.

When Lara fled the Wraiths, after Garik Loran revealed that she was really Gara Petothel, Tonin went with her to the Iron Fist, where she volunteered her services to Warlord Zsinj. In reality, she planned to take down Zsinj any way she could. To that end, she programmed Tonin to surreptitiously take control of the Super-class Star Destroyer's MSE-6 messenger droids. Tonin did so discreetly at first, but became bolder when none of the smaller droids were discovered missing. Tonin reprogrammed them for terrorist duties, including the sabotaging of the warship's engines, computers and shields. The effort nearly worked on its own, and was highly successful when it was combined with the firepower of the New Republic's warships at Selaggis Six.

Unknown to Vos, however, Tookarti was actually an agent of Count Dooku, and had devised the scheme which allowed a datadisk containing information on a Separatist attack on Kamino to fall into Zenex's hands. This ensured that the Separatists would have the upper hand during the battle for Kamino, even as the Old Republic believed it had the advantage. Although these plans failed to result in a Separatist victory at Kamino, Tookarti continued to work for Count Dooku, primarily out of fear for his life. His double-agent status was compromised shortly afterward, when Tookarti tried to sell information to the Jedi Council that Korto Vos had become a double agent himself. Because this nearly cost Korto his life, Korto returned to confront Tookarti. When the Charda-Fan couldn't reconcile his actions, Korto - who was actually Quinlan Vos, on a deep-cover mission for the Jedi - decided to eliminate any further treachery. As Tookarti pulled out a blaster, Korto beheaded him with his lightsaber. (RS, RDB) Tooke this small, hopping rodent was bipedal in stature, and was native to the planet Naboo. They had short tails and large eyes, and could flip themselves over backwards in order to escape an attacker.

The Toom gang started out with legitmate goals, primarily as deep-space rescue and salvage operators. Over time, they shed their humanitarian guises and focused on making money any way possible. Their services were available to any being who could pay them, and they lacked any form of scruples which might have hindered their ability to take on even the most despicable work. Their motto was simple: "Pay us enough and we'll make worlds collide." The Tooms, led by the Weequay Nort Toom, used an early version of the Interdictor-class cruiser to drag spaceships from hyperspace. The Tooms established a staging base on the planet Riome, in order to help throw off any pursuit. The Tooms were hired by Patch Bruit and the Lommite Limited mining corporation to destroy the operations of InterGalactic Ores on Dorvalla, but Darth Maul used a subtle misdirection to lead the Tooms into bringing down both corporations at the same time. In this way, Dorvalla was opened up to the Trade Federation. Despite the plan's success to Darth Sidious, the Toom Clan was destroyed on Riome when the combined forces of Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores struck back in revenge for being double-crossed.

Toonbuck allied herself with Orn Free Taa and Passel Argente in their opposition of Chancellor Valorum, in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. With the growing movement toward secession that permiated the Senate in the years prior to the Clone Wars, Senator Toora convinced Sy Myrth to secede from the Republic, on the heels of the secession of the planet Ando. Her support of secession was hinted at by many followers of the Senate, who noted that Senator Toora was absent from the Senate for more than a month prior to Sy Myrth's secession. She was later observed by Obi-Wan Kenobi on the planet Geonosis, during the meetings that cemented Count Dooku's relationships to the Commerce Guilds, the Trade Federation, the Techno Union, and the InterGalactic Banking Clans.

They have no neck or shoulders, as most humanoids do, and their faces seem to make up their entire torso. When Old Republic scouts first made contact with the Toong race, they were unable to comprehend the visitors from the stars, and their civilization was thrown into turmoil. International wars erupted, much to the dismay of the scouts, who had been led to believe the Toongs were peaceful. After many weeks, the Republic was able to re-establish contact with the Toongs, realizing that the sudden appearance of aliens triggered a fight-or-flight instinct in the Toong people. Eventually, the Toongs agreed to join the galactic community, after realizing that alien races weren't something to fear. The Toongs quickly adopted the technology of the Republic, and began to colonize nearby worlds. Modern Toongs were forced to flee Toong'L when an environmental disaster left the planet uninhabitable, just before the Battle of Naboo. They fled to Tund, but were again forced to relocate when Rokur Gepta destroyed that planet. (SW1, IG1, IWE1, SWDB, SWI53, UANT) Toong this Huttese verb translated roughly into Basic as "we have."

However, when a pair of comets struck the planet's surface, the resulting environmental disaster wiped out virtually every square inch of habitable surface area on the planet. The surviving Toongs were forced to flee to the nearby world of Tund. Decades later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the alien invaders captured Toong'L and installed a yammosk there.

(IWE1, SWI53, NEGC, UF) Toong'L Security Systems this manufacturer of security droids and other systems was a noted competitor of Cestus Cybernetics during the Old Republic. When the X'Ting inquired about a security system for the protection of several royal egss - to be hidden after the X'Ting believed that Cestus Cybernetics was behind the Great Plague - Toong'L Security Systems gladly took on the project. Their system was in intricate combination of guardian worms and scent-based receptors that challenged a being with several layers of verification of their intent. The mutated worms that were brought to Ord Cestus were vicious and carnivorous, but could be defeated by cunning warriors. Because of the scent-based traps that followed, only an X'Ting could manage to reach the deepest levels. Once inside the main chamber, am X'Ting was forced to answer three questions. Whether or not the X'Ting answered correctly, the system declared that the answers were wrong, and forced the X'Ting face their own execution. In this way, the system could determine - from the individual's scents - whether or not they had penetrated the system for their own prestige, or for the better good of the X'Ting people. While the system proved to be exceptionally secure, the worms that were used to guard the forward sections attacked the X'Ting population that chose to live underground after the Great Plague. They stumbled into the worms' chamber and were set upon, and their were no survivors. To make matters worse, Toong'L Security Systems was destroyed when the planet was hit by a comet, eliminating all knowledge of the ways to bypass the security systems. Eventually, it was Jesson Di Blinth who penetrated the system, along with help from Obi-Wan Kenobi, and recovered the eggs.

He was given the nickname Tooth by Joram Kithe, who was stranded on the planet with the platoon's survivors after the Separatist sprang a trap. The nickname, given to help Joram communicate with the troopers, was based on the fact that the clone trooper had lost a tooth during a training exercise. Tooth was killed shortly afterward, when he decided to take on the suicide mission of drawing Separatist starfighters away from Tur Lorkin. This allowed the rest of the platoon to enter the settlement, destroy the actual missile production facility, and escape the planet.

She lived with Noa for several years, until the Battle of Endor occured. By this time, Cindel had grown into a young woman, and was eager to make her own way in the galaxy. She decide to join the efforts of the fledgling New Republic, after witnessing first-hand the construction and destruction of the second Death Star. She went into journalism after graduating from college, and became one of the primary founders and contributors to The Life Monitor news service. In this role, Cindel was given access to the recorded testimony of Plat Mallar by Hiram Drayson, which allowed her to leak the story of the Yevethan attack on Polneye. The story's publication swayed the government to adopt a more sympathetic stance to the refugees of the Black Fleet Crisis. Cindel was portrayed by Aubree Miller in The Caravan of Courage and The Battle for Endor. (EA, BFE, TT, SWDB) Towani, Jeremitt Jeremitt was married to Catarine Towani, and they had two children, Mace and Cindel. Their shuttle crashed on the forest moon Endor following a systems failure, and they were forced to fend for themselves. Jeremitt and Catarine were captured by the giant Gorax and held prisoner until their children, along with help from the Ewoks, were able to rescue them. Unfortunately, he was killed when the Marauders from Endor's rocky wastes attacked their encampment. Jeremitt was portrayed by Guy Boyd in The Ewok Adventure, and by Paul Gleason in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. (EA, BFE) Towani, Mace Mace was the older of the two Towani children, and the teen-aged son of Catarine and Jeremitt. When their shuttle crashed on Endor, Mace and his sister, Cindel, were separated from their parents. He was quick to anger, and was fiercely protective of his sister. They were taken in by Wicket and his Ewok family, who helped them rescue Mace's parents from the Gorax. Unfortunately, when the Marauders attacked their encampment several months later, Mace was killed along with his parents. Mace was portrayed by Eric Walker in The Caravan of Courage and The Battle for Endor. (EA, BFE, SWDB) Tower this modified YT-1300 transport was owned and operated by Rycar Ryjerd. It was armed with a pair of fire-linked laser cannons and two ion cannons. (SSR) Tower Droid this unusual automaton was developed by Tig Fromm,and served as a mobile weapons platform. It moved about on six pneumatic tires, which were puncture-resistant and provided a measure of shock absorption. Atop the engine-housing base, the tower droid was a cylindrical tower which housed the weapons, which included four laser cannons and a repulsor-ball launcher. It was rumored that more thn 430 of these automatons were produced for deployment on Ingo, but it was unknown how many survived the break-up of the Fromm organization by Boba Fett. (EGD) Tower of Law this was the primary governmental building found on the planet Bimmisaari during the early years of the New Republic. Standing just a couple of stories over a open-air market, the Tower of Law was dominated by large rooms that were decorated by wonderful tapestries. The Tower was erected near the marketplace many centuries before the Battle of Yavin, since the marketplace served as a crossroads for many Bimm societies. Although the marketplace itself changed over the years, the Tower of Law remained as a symbol of Bimm government. (HTTE) Tower Ridge this rocky outcropping, on the outskirts of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, was the home of Slag Flats. (TM) Tower, Griggor this Imperial Admiral was placed in command of the garrison on Gamandar, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Distinguished by his rakish goatee and a reddish, cybernetic eye that replaced his lost left eye, Tower ruled Gamandar with an iron fist. He quickly subjugated the population, and extracted much of the planet's natural resources in just a few years, while acting on plans that were masterminded by Darth Vader himself. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Tower tried to assassinate Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa on Iskalon, thanks to a tip from Kendle. Shortly afterward, Tower was approached by Lando Calrissian, who disguised himself and used the alias of Barpotomous Drebble. "Drebble" wanted to settle a score with Tay Vanis, and Tower was willing to support his mission of revenge. However, unknown to Lando, Admiral Tower knew that he was acting the part of Drebble, and only agreed to work with "Drebble" to ensure the capture of more Alliance agents. Unfortunately for Admiral Tower, however, the droid K3PX was reporting on his activities to Lord Vader. It relayed information on the use of a missile to destroy the city of Pavillion, which was deemed excessive use of force by the Dark Lord. Vader personally traveled to Gamandar to arrest and execute Tower for his actions. (MC75, MC76, GMR1) Towers of Pantolomin this profitable tourist resort is owned by Galaxy Tours. (CSA) Towith, Rhain this Imperial Moff was placed in charge of the Kadok Regions, during the height of the New Order. He found himself at a loss as to how he could bring the Bitthaevrians, and especially the m'Yalfor'ac Order, under Imperial control. (AIR) Towon this fictional Rodian clan was the antagonist of the renowned drama, Kinzic. The clan was utterly destroyed when Kinzic set off a thermal detonator in the midst of Towon celebration. (PSG) Tox meaning "quick-witted", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG) Toxico this was the one of the largest suppliers of industrial-use chemicals on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. Many of the products Toxico produced were used to exterminate the wide variety of vermin found in the underworld of Galactic City. (HNN5) Toxis Metals this mining and extraction corporation was based on the planet Af'El, where it operated a number of mines. Note - is this the same as Hctaqsas Metals? (SWJ10) Toxus Li this spike-haired humanoid was wanted for several crimes some six years after the Battle of Endor. Boba Fett captured him, although he only brought back the head to collect his bounty. (BF) Toy Dampner this blue-skinned, avian being was considered one of the Outer Rim Territories' best podracer pilots, around the time that Anakin Skywalker won the Boonta Eve Classic. (RAC) Toydaria this swamp-covered planet was located in Hutt Space, within the Mid Rim, and was the homeworld of the Toydarian race. Its surface was composed of nutrient-rich muck, which pooled and puddled into lakes and ponds. The closest thing to landmasses found on the planet were thick mats of algae which floated on top of the swamps. (IG1, IWE1, WOTC) Toydarian this was a race of small, winged humanoids with stout bodies and beaklike noses which was native to the planet Toydaria. Their skin was usually blue-green to pink on the dorsal side and cream-colored on the ventral side, and their snouts are studded with short, thick tusks. Like the Hutts, Toydarians are immune to the effects of the Force due to the unusual compostion of their brain. Despite their heavy-set appearance, the Toydarian's stomach and bodily tissues were filled with gases which made them more bouyant. This allowed them to remain in the air while their wings beat rapidly, about ten times a second. The average Toydarian could walk on their thin legs, but spent more time flying in order to stay out of the reach of the land-based predators found on their homeworld of Toydaria. As a people, Toydarians were known for their shrewd business sense. This manifested itself as greed in lesser individuals, while more legitimate Toydarians were loyal and proud of their accomplishments. (SW1, IG1, WOTC) Toydarian Print this was a slang term used during the last years of the Old Republic to describe the "fine print" - all the information on the obscure terms and conditions, often buried in a document or written in small fonts - in a contract or document. (YDR) To-yel this Gotal found a home on the planet Narg where he could escape the constant buzz of electromagnetic radiation found on other worlds. He was quite happy on Narg, which made him something of a rarity among the non-human population there. To-yel was unable to master the technique of blocking out the electromagnetic emissions from other lifeforms, and got severe headaches in populated areas. To-yel frequented the Free Access Grill during the Imperial occupation of Narg, where he spent most of his time carving small wooden figures. He was known to be a cheerful and friendly patron. (TA) Toz this grain was grown on the planet Merisee, and was the base for the brewed beverage Utoz. (PG3) Tozzin Foods the chief rival of Attakril Meats, this food supplier was based on the planet Merisee. (PG3) T-P-C4 this live-organism transport container was produced by Kolocast Consumer Goods, and was designed to transport pets during interstellar journeys. (GFT) T'Ples known as Harrowmere, or the Lake of Trials, this was the largest ocean found on the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE) TR-14a Land Cruiser developed and manufactured by Mekuun, this personal speeder was designed for affluent beings who wanted to travel in style. Built to resemble anceint wheeled carriages, the TR-14a was an ornate vehicle that had to be custom-ordered. They could be decorated with any number of features, including family crests, scrollwork, and luxurious upholstery. The frame of each TR-14a was custom-made to its owner's specifications, although the basic design had a central passenger compartment set behind two main engines. Repulsorlifts were located in two small outriggers, and an open-air seating area was located at the rear. The TR-14a also had room for up to eight passengers and 200 kilograms of cargo. (AEG) TR-62 this was the model number of BlasTech's auto-cushioning tripod, which was used to support the BlasTech E-Web repeating blaster. (EGW) TR-889 this was Major Tierce's stormtrooper ID during the time he served under Grand Admiral Thrawn aboard the Chimaera. (SOP) T'ra Saa this Jedi Master was the watchman of the planetary sector which contained the twin planets of Kiffex and Kiffu, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A tall, female Neti, T'ra Saa often moved about in humanoid form, with yellow skin and a collection of thick tendrils atop her head in the place of hair. She lacked a prominent nose, instead having a pair of small flaps in between her eyes. It was T'ra Saa who first discovered the resurgence of Dark Side energy that eminated from Volfe Karkko, after the Anzati was released from his stasis field by Aayla Secura. When Master T'ra Saa arrived at Kiffex to investigate, she was shot down by the Guardians of Kiffu and stranded on the planet. She eventually met up with Quinlan Vos and the two Jedi Masters, Tholme and Zao, and their combined strength helped them defeat the Anzati Sith magician. During the Clone Wars, she was one of the many Jedi Masters who reluctantly assumed the rank of General for the Old Republic, and saw action on Devaron and Geonosis during this time. Some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Saa was badly wounded on Null, when the Republic's forces were attacked by bounty hunters from the Crimson Nova chapter. In order to survive, she pulled a stand of trees down atop their position, hoping that Jedi Master Mace Windu would eventually find them. During the fight, however, Nazzer managed to recover her lightsaber, in order to claim the bounty on her life. Windu arrived shortly afterward and located their position, but Master Saa was forced to spend a great deal of time in a bacta tank to recover from her wounds. As she recovered, Master Saa worked with the seemingly mindless body of Depa Billaba, working diligently to try and return the female Jedi to her normal self. It was during this period of reflection that Mace Windu returned from The Rig, and gave back the lightsaber she had lost on Null. Note that the officialStar Wars website refers to this Jedi Master as Tr'a Saa. (DRKN, WOTC, RSF) Traal, Zeta this icy woman served the Imperial Diplomatic Corps as a Captain, and was known as an excellent scout. Her report on the planet Velmor, which prescribed the orbital bombardment of the Tol Velmoc Mountains, was intercepted by the natives of the planet and never made it to the Empire. Thus, Velmor was spared destruction, even though it was forced to suffer through Imperial occupation. Traal installed herself as the Imperial attache' who served as Prince Anod's advisor, during his training to become King. She approached Korl Marcus, believing that his lack of identification only lent credence to his bounty hunting skills, to kill Prince Denid and ensure Anod's succession to the throne. She wasn't aware that Marcus was really Luke Skywalker, but she needed to ensure that Anod was named King of Velmor. In the melee that resulted from the botched "assassination," Traal killed Anod. She later was forced to kill Jedidiah, who attacked her while she was hunting for Luke. This gave Luke an opening to knock Traal unconscious. Denid then had her imprisoned for crimes against Velmor. (LTA2, WOTC, MC49) Trabler this huge, well-muscled man was a member of the Imperial Security Bureau at the height of the New Order. Known more for his strength than his mind - it was rumored he could pull the head off an Ithorian with his bare hands - he was assigned to missions that required physical manipulation. Trabler was also unswervingly loyal to the Emperor. His last mission was accompanying Ysanne Isard to Darkknell in order to recover the stolen plans to the first Death Star. Trabler was killed during the mission, caught in a cross-fire between Isard and Hal Horn. Trabler and Isard had attempted to eliminate Horn, but the Corellian managed to gain the upper hand in the exchange. When Trabler tried to attack Horn with a knife, Horn shot him through the chest. (TFNR) Tracc'sorr this Coynite term translated into Basic as "sworn allegiance." (PG3) Trace, Arvel this former Imperial governor of Sesid built up a large security force to keep the system in line. He supported the dictators Feynir and Maeril in hopes of getting their nations to work together peacefully. (GG12) Trace-breather a device which uses cartridges of gas to provide respiratory elements to races which cannot breathe certain atmospheres. The cartridge contains a limited supply of gas, which is expelled over time when the cartridge is inserted into a special breathing mask. The cartridges must be continually replaced if the individual remains out of its normal environment for too long. (TJP) Tracedart this small projectile is used in a game of skill. Each player must throw their darts at a gameboard. The dart literally traces a line to the target. There are various methods to scoring a tracedart match. (CSA) T'racen, Dunc this young Mistryl woman was teamed up with Shada D'ukal shortly after the Battle of Endor, so that the younger woman could learn more about the galaxy around her. When the two Mistryl were contracted to transport Ghitsa Dogder, Fenig Nabon, and a cargo of Twi'leki dancers from Ryloth to Nal Hutta, both Mistryl tried to renege on the deal, claiming it was slavery. However, their investigation into the contract and their interviews with the dancers revealed nothing illegal. Nonetheless, Dunc was constantly at odds with Ghitsa during their flight. Ghitsa needled her at every opportunity, and it was all Dunc could do to keep from shooting her dead. (TFNR) Tracer Beacon this was a version of the standard homing beacon, used during the last decades of the Old Republic. Resembling a small disc, the tracer was placed on the hull of a starship to track to hyperspace. The tracer was quite powerful, but it could often be discovered by a criminal or smuggler because of the cloakign shadow it gave off. This shadow registered as a sensor image of the target ship, on the target ship's sensors. (VD2, AOTCN) Tracer Droid any form of automata that is used to track an individual. (THG) Tracer Orb developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, tracer orbs were small devices used to monitor an individual's location. Shaped like an eyeball, a tracer orb could be implanted in place of an organic eye, allowing the user to send detailed visual information back to a central location. The technology behind a tracer orb's abilities was based on nanotechnology imbedded in organic matter. (BF4) Tracer Spineray similar in many respects to the provoker spineray, this Yuuzhan Vong bio-construct could trace the neural pathways of a living being. However, it could only perform specific functions, such as issuing pain to certain receptors with micromillimeter precision, and then gauging how the react to pain affected nearby tissues. It could also determine the efficiency with which neural pathways could transmit information. (EL1) Trace-scrambler this device was used in conjunction with a standard comlink, to scramble a transmission and prevent any beings who were searching for the comlink's owner from actually locating them. While the trace-scrambler did not mask the actual transmission of the comlink, it did encrypt the transmission enough to disable most triangulation sensors from pinpointing its location. (EOV, GMR8) Tracher this Imperial Army private was among the forces which first landed on Alluuvia. He quickly followed Private Kinard's lead and helped wipe out the Anguillas which greeted them. (OE) Trachta this cyborged human served as one of the original Imperial Grand Moffs, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Trachta's cybernetics closely resembled that of Darth Vader, with a triangular breath mask covering his nose and mouth. Both eyes had been replaced by ocular cameras, and his lungs were mechanically enhanced. He hated the Jedi as much as he hated the Sith, and was one of the major participants in an early plot to assassinate Emperor Palpatine, hoping to eliminate Darth Vader in the same masterful stroke. Trachta had known Palpatine for nearly three decades when he hatched his plans to eliminate Vader and all remnants of the Sith, while creating a new Imperial regime in his own image. Unknown to his co-conspirators, Trachta also planned to eliminate each of them in time. His plans fell through, however, when Grand Moff Bartam set his own plans in motion. Just as Bartam was assassinated by Trachta's agent, Trachta found himself cornered by one of Bartam's agents. The agent shot him immediately, killing Trachta on the spot. (SWEB) Tracked Mobile Base see TR-MB (FC) Tracked Shield Disabler see TR-SD (FC) Tracker this was a model of automap developed and manufactured by SoroSuub during the Galactic Civil War. It employed a large screen, which displayed a variety of information on the surrouding terrain and the user's position within it. Essentially a datapad, the Tracker was the handheld version of SoroSuub's AutoTracker. (IA, GUN) Tracker this was a utility vest produced by Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Tracker vest was made from leathery bantha hide, and provided a pockets and sheaths for hunters and guides to store small items. (AEG) Tracker-4 Airspeeder this was Bakur RepulsorCorp's military airspeeder, measuring seven meters in length and armed with a front-mounted dual laser cannon. It required a pilot and gunner, and could transport two additional troopers and 20 kilograms of cargo. It had a flight ceiling of two kilometers, and could attain speeds of 500 kilometers per hour. (TBSB) Tracker's Guild this was one of the Old Republic's foremost schools of tracking and scouting. The primary school was located on the planet Tolan. Captain Panaka of the Naboo Royal Security Force trained here, under a strict Zabrak instructor, before joining the force under Captain Magneta. (GMR2) Track-trill this device is often used by gamblers who cheat at spinnerpit and other similar games of chance. It allows them to magnetize specific tracks, causing the small balls to roll into those tracks. (MJEH) Tracomp a shipboard sensor that locates a planet's magnetic poles for ground referencing. They are small components, capable of being removed and used in a handheld manner. They fit in the palm of a man's hand. (SME) Tra'cor this large beast, native to the hidden oases of the planet Socorro, resembled an aquatic version of the rancor. The tra'cor lived it entire life in the water, ambushing its prey before consuming it in a few bites. (BSS) TracSheet this was a New Republic document which detailed all known information about a specific criminal. This document was based on an Imperial datafile maintained for the same reasons: to monitor the activities of criminals. (GG11) Tract Conviction this was the body that was charged with the maintenance and upkeep of The Tract, located on the planet Makem Te. More than a million Swokes Swokes worked as accountants and recordkeepers on the Tract Conviction at one point, ensuring that a steady flow of credits was available to keep The Tract operational and functioning. Thousands of flatstenders worked within The Tract to ensure the placement of tiles remained correct, as well as to help families locate their tiles among the trillions of individuals represented there. (WOTC) Tract, The this was the Basic name, derived from an ancient Swoken term, of the vast cemetary established by the Swokes Swokes on their homeworld of Makem Te. In a ritual that was millennia in age, Swokes Swokes would place a ceremonial, two-meter-square tile in The Tract whenever an individual died. On top of this tile was a small stone pillar called a stela. By the time of the New Order, more than 1.2 trillion Swokes Swokes had been buried in The Tract, which covered more than seven percent of the surface on Makem Te. From space, The Tract appeared to be a northern polar ice cap, as was noted in the first scouting reports done on the Makem System by the Old Republic. This led to the addition of The Tract to the list of the galaxy's Twenty Wonders. The bodies of those Swokes Swokes who were represented in The Tract were actually chopped up or incinerated, and their remains were returned to the family as good luck charms. Only the stone tile was placed in The Tract. Many years later, The Tract was nearly destroyed when the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy. The alien invaders destroyed a refueling station that orbited Makem Te, in an effort to further hinder traffic flowing along the Perlemian Trade Route. The debris from the station crashed throughout the northern hemisphere of the planet, narrowing missing the land covered by The Tract. (WOTC) Tracti this unusual tree was grown by the Tusken Raiders of the planet Tatooine, in secret oases where it was hidden from prying eyes. The Tusken Raiders maintained small grove of tracti trees so that they could harvest its wood, which was often used to create the stocks and barrels of their primitive rifles. (NEGW) Tracton this Quarren scientist was one of Senator Tikkes' aides, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Tracton had a background in planetology, and helped the Senator determine the mineral and biological wealth of planets. He was shot and killed on a remote world in the Kamdon System, when Aurra Sing attacked Senator Tikkes' starship while trying to kill Tikkes and the Dark Woman. (HFAS) Tracton this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "inspirational". (GCG) Tractor Beam any device which is used to immobilize and move an object. They are modified force fields which employ a graviton-flux beam to alter the shape of the surrounding space-time fabric. The shape is altered so that the target is caught on a ripple of fabric and then "rolled" back toward the generator. Thus, tractor beams can be used to maneuver ships in docking bays, as well as to contain a fleeing ship. In some instances, large tractor beams can also be used to destroy smaller ships by creating a large enough ripple to crash into the target. (SW, SWSB) Trade if two tribes of Abyssin meet at an oasis during a plentiful season, they will Trade with each other. Gaunts, weapons, and young males and females are exchanged between the two tribes, ensuring both willl survive until their next meeting. (GG4) Trade City this was one of the larger cities on the planet Arkania. (EGP) Trade Commission this was the group, formed by the Old Republic Senate, which looked for ways to enforce inter-system trade during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Commission decided that the taxation of trade routes was required in order to enforce the laws set up by the Senate. Many historians believed that this taxation forced the Trade Federation to blockade the planet Naboo in order to gain the attention of the Senate in order to overturn the taxation laws. (DMS) Trade Council this branch of the Old Republic oversaw the various changes in commerce that occurred when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. They were the primary body in mediating disputes over the availability to important technical parts and raw materials, especially when the requisition of a commodity caused economic hardship on a planet. (TCD) Trade Defense Force this was the name of the fleet of warships and military personnel who supported the Trade Federation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Much of the Trade Defense was turned over to the Republic in the wake of the Battle of Naboo. (RP) Trade Federation this group was formed during Old Republic, some 350 years before the Battle of Yavin, to monitor and maintain the delicate balances of power between the growing economies of the Core Worlds and the developing worlds of the remote Outer Rim Territories. Ostensibly, they were the policemen of commerce for the Old Republic, working to ensure fairness and mediate disputes between merchants and transport providers. The Federation became large enough, and powerful enough, to maintain a seat in the Galactic Senate as if they were a populated planet. Many outlying systems aligned themselves with the Federation, rather than requesting direct representation in the Senate, because it was a more expedient way to develop trade with the Core Worlds. However, the Trade Federation - controlled by the Neimoidian race - was inherently weak, and soon found itself under the control of Darth Sidious during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A series of political maneuvers led to the Old Republic's taxation of trade routes in the galaxy, which took away much of the control and profit realized by the Neimoidians. In an attempt to force the repeal of the tax law, and under the control of Sidious, the Trade Federation threatened the world of Naboo by blockading all trade to and from the planet. The blockade was eventually broken during the Battle of Naboo, but the Federation had already outlived its usefulness to Sidious, who abandoned them when they could no longer control the situation. In the aftermath of the Naboo blockade, the Trade Federation's warfleet and its military personnel were absorbed into the Old Republic's own defense forces, and the Federation itself was restricted in its ability to do business. The Republic ordered the immediate downsizing of the Federation's droid forces, but many of these combat automatons were simply resold to Federation holdings. Nute Gunray, the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, survived imprisonment and maintained control of the Federation. However, he felt betrayed by Darth Sidious and so threw his support to Count Dooku and the Separatists. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the New Order, the Trade Federation was absorbed into the Empire and Imperialized. (SW1, TPM, IS1, RP, COD, GB, SWDB) Trade Federation Armaments Committee this branch of the Trade Federation Executive Board was charged with ensuring that the Federation's members and starships were properly protected against pirates and other threats. (SON) Trade Federation Battleship based on Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Incorprated's huge, ring-shaped LH-3210 cargo freighters, the Trade Federation's battleships were heavily converted for military use. This conversion made them perfect for the Federation's use, as unsuspecting targets didn't realize they were under attack until it was too late. Measuring 3,170 meters in diameter, these battleships had huge storage areas in the outer hull, which surrounded the central, spherical command center. The Federation equipped each battleship with 1,500 Vulture droid starfighters, 50 C-9979 landing ships, 550 MTT troop transports, 6,250 AAT battle tanks, and 1,500 troop carriers. The ships were powered by a pair of Rendili Proton 2 sublight drives, supported by an array of Proton 12 drives as backup. Weaponry wes limited by the original, non-military configuration, and consisted of 42 quad-laser batteries spaced around the outer hull. The armament was nevertheless efficient, especially when supported by the battleship's potent shields. (SW1, X1, IG1) Trade Federation Directorate see Trade Federation Executive Board (NEGC) Trade Federation Executive Board this was the primary governing body of the Trade Federation, and was responsible for making the strategic decisions of the Federation. Also known as the Directorate, this seven-member body was controlled by the Neimoidian Inner Circle. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Darth Sidious arranged to have six of the seven members of the Board assassinated, leaving Nute Gunray as the sole survivor and, therefore, the new Viceroy. Gunray then filled the remaining six positions with puppets who would do his bidding. (SON, COD, NEGC) Trade Federation Gunboat this aquatic vehicle was specially-commissioned by the Trade Federation when it being preparing for its invasion of Naboo. It was designed to operate in the swamps and rivers of the planet, with heavy underpating to protect against underwater obstacles. It was equipped with heavy-duty engines and armor plating, and was armed with a turret-mounted twin laser cannon. The gunboat measured six meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It could transport up to 40 kilograms of cargo and three passengers. (BFN, GMR3) Trade Hall the governmental building of the capital city of Brentaal, the Trade Hall was located in the city of Cormond.

(ROP) Trader's Gamble one of the many additional features of the Free Trader's Guide to the Planets, the Trader's Gamble required a membership number and password in order to gain access. It was created to alert the paying members of the Lantilian Spacers Brotherhood of potentially lucrative markets. The downside of this service is that the worlds it highlighted also tended to be dangerous and remote. (SWJ10) Traders' Grotto this was the name given to a large, hollowed-out asteroid located in the Tatoo System. The Grotto was used by any number of independent starship captains as a kind of impromptu marketplace, where goods and services could be exchanged without governmental intervention. (SWGAL) Trader's Luck this ancient Liberator-class troopship began life as the Guardian of the Republic. Garris Shrike purchased the old ship and gutted the interior, refitting it to create various living environments for the smugglers, thieves, and strong-arms that made up Shrike's travelling horde. When Shrike was killed on Coruscant, the ship was abandoned and left for scrap. When it was sold at auction, the Corellian resistance purchased it and renamed it the Liberator. They donated the ship to the Alliance forces for the Battle of Ylesia. (TPS, RD) Traders Plaza this open area is located in the city of Talos, on Atzerri. Its design is such that unwary visitors to Atzerri are likely to lose their money as they pass through many unnecessary checkpoints, pay illusory tariffs, and shop for overpriced goods. For those travellers with experience on Atzerri, the Plaza's "merchants" act as scratchbacks. They herd the more adept travellers to more intense areas of the city. (SOL) Trader's Quarter this infamous section of the planet Ord Mantell was known for its seedy streets and shady businesses. (AIR) Tradetown this is the only sizable town on the planet Yelsain, and is also the site of the planet's specaport. Most of the planet's off-world inhabitants live in Tradetown.

Traeda lost an important ally, Governor Weizel, who defected to Tigellinus's faction. (SWJ8) Traest this Bothan name was given to newborn males. Translated into Basic, it meant "enthralling." (GCG, WOTC) Traest Kre'fey this Bothan was a member of the New Republic military, and served as an Admiral at the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Traest came from a long line of Bothan leaders, including his grandfather Laryn and his brother, Karka. Like his relatives, Traest had creamy-white fur. However, he had violet eyes which were flecked with gold, an indication of that fact that he was also related to Borsk Fey'lya through a complex tangle of relationships. He was one of the few members of the New Republic command structure who took the Yuuzhan Vong invasion seriously, and worked with Gavin Darklighter and Rogue Squadron to develop tactics that would overcome the Yuuzhan Vong's organic defenses. Traest commanded the Assault Cruiser Ralroost during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He was disdainful of his cousin's political maneuverings, wishing only to defeat the alien invaders and rid the New Republic of the threat. Thus, when Fey'lya opted to remain aboard the Ralroost during the defense of Ithor, Traest took steps to ensure that Fey'lya had little chance to cause trouble. However, Traest was one of the minority of Naval officers who felt that the Senate and the New Republic were not acting in the galaxy's best interests in the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, and gladly agreed to help Gavin Darklighter and Rogue Squadron attack the shipwomb being grown in the Sernpidal system. He even went so far as threatening to take the entire naval force of the New Republic into the Unknown Regions, should the Senate continue to try and run the military. Admiral Kre'fey remained at the forefront of the Republic's battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, and was placed in command of the task force which massed near Kashyyyk to launch hit-and-run missions against the aliens. In the wake of the death of Borsk Fey'lya, Admiral Kre'fey redoubled his efforts to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. He daily asked his crew two questions during the conflict: "Howcan I hurt the Yuuzhan Vong today?" and "If I can't hurt the enemy, what can I do to help my side grow stronger?" He had these questions painted above the bulkheads leading to the Ralroost's command center, as a constant reminder of his crew's duties. As the war ground on, Admiral Kre'fey continued to work with his fellow commanders to find a weakness in the Yuuzhan Vong. It was obvious that the aliens were spread too thin to support a massive campaign against the Republic, yet the Republic could not spare a large portion of its own fleet to make focused attacks. With the formation of the Galactic Alliance, Kre'fey was able to pool his resources with those of Grand Admiral Pellaeon and Garm Bel Iblis, forming a total of four distinct battle groups which could be brought to bear against the alien invaders. His plans to defend Calamari from attack proved almost unnecessary when Zonama Sekot suddenly reappeared near Coruscant, forcing nearly every Yuuzhan Vong fleet back to Coruscant to defend Supreme Overlord Shimrra. Kre'fey reasoned that this was the time to finally strike a decisive blow against the Yuuzhan Vong, a plan that met with mixed emotions but was ultimately approved. The final battle was launched some five years after the initial Yuuzhan Vong attacked on Belkadan and Helska, and saw the Galactic Alliance's forces matched ship for ship by the Yuuzhan Vong. The presence of Zonama Sekot was of great assistance, since it drew a large portion of the defense fleet away from the main fighting. After the Alliance's ground forces and the Jedi Knights managed to defeat both Shimrra and Onimi, and when Zonama Sekot managed to repel Shimrra's attempt to use the Alpha Red virus against it, Kre'fey discovered that the war had been won. Although many Yuuzhan Vong chose to flee or commit suicide, a healthy number surrendered. Because of his leadership and the ultimate outcome of the war, Kre'fey found himself being called the "liberator of Coruscant" on the newsfeed. With Sien Sovv's sudden resignation, Kre'fey also found himself promoted to the position of Supreme Commander of the Galactic Alliance's armed forces. (DTO, DTR, EVR, DW, FP, UF, NJOSB) Traff this Jeodu worked for Dequc, and often accompanied Fitch on courier missions. (MJEH) Traffic-robo any automaton programmed to monitor and direct ground-based traffic. (HSL) TraffiDroid this brand of automaton was developed to control inner-city traffic during the last years of the New Order. The TraffiDroid was essentially a four-armed sphere which floating on repulsors. When stationed at an intersection, the TraffiDroid was capable of efficiently handling vehicular and pedestrian traffic. (GCQ) Traflin this tropical resort world was owned and operated a powerful alliance of businessmen from the Corporate Sector. Because of its distance from the Core and the lack of an Imperial garrison, Alliance personnel used Traflin as a rest and relaxation spot during the Galactic Civil War. The local government had little tolerance for crime. (GMS) Traft, Icus this Imperial Colonel was assigned to the small garrison established on the planet Gap Nine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A corrupt, greedy officer, Traft spent much of his time on Gap Nine looting the ancient temples for artifacts and treasures. (SWJ7) Trag, Ganwick this heavily-muscled man worked as the assistant bartender at the Outlander Club, just before the onset of the Clone Wars. (OWS) Tragan Cluster an Outer Rim Territories sector originally charted by Shistavenan explorers who braved the Bakisian Drift. (GG12) Tragan Sector this star system was ruled by Imperial Moff Brinkan during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ4) Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, The this was essentially the story of the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis, as related to others by his own apprentice, Darth Sidious. Sidous used the story - which he carefully couched as a legend before revealing his true nature - to explain the potential of Plagueis' power, yet highlight the pride and hubris that was common among the Sith. (E3N) Tragett, Bogo this Alpha Team leader led the second expedition to Maltha Obex, setting up a base from which Joto Eckels could operate. Traggett's team remained on the planet when Eckels left to deliver the Qella bodies to Coruscant, and was left stranded on the planet when Eckels returned. Eckels was forced to keep Tragett's team planet-bound, because the Teljkon vagabond had re-entered the system. (TT) Traggisk this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "bludgeons in fury". (GCG) Traggissk Reosss this Trandoshan was a wing leader for the Winnard Clan, until he attacked an Imperial convoy near the Corporate Sector. It was unknown whether Reosss knew the convoy was Imperial, but the Empire quickly retaliated. The Winnard Clan was hunted down and decimated. Their leader, Cloone, told the Empire of Reosss' existence, and that it was believed he was unaware of the affiliation of the convoy. Nevertheless, Reosss was expelled from the Clan, which Cloone was later able to rebuild. In order to ensure that Reosss was brought to justice for the deaths of the Clan's original members, Cloone issued a bounty on the Trandoshan's head. The bounty was further increased by the Empire, when it was learned that Reosss might be working for the Alliance. (GMR6) Tragic Flaw this starship was owned operated by Bho Vendoll, and lived up to its name more often than not. (SSR) Tragrud this planet, the only world in the Tragrud System, was tectonically unstable. Nonetheless, the Alliance established a staging area and refueling outpost on the planet, serving those ships which traveled into Hutt Space. Note that this planet is also named Tragud in Secrets of the Sisar Run. (SSR) Trail an Alliance shuttle group destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) Trailblazer this was Reidi Artom's personal scout ship. She stowed away on the ship in order to escape her homeworld, and was the only survivor when the ship was attacked by pirates. She managed to repair the ship and get back to port, where she had the ship refitted and registered in her own name. (LFC) Trailia this tropical world is a low-tech planet on the fringes of the known galaxy. It is inhabited by the native Trailians, a race of humanoids which are sensitive to the Force, and live in peaceful coexistence with their environment. Lord Cronal attempted to use the Dark Side of the Force and genetic manipulation to turn the Trailians into monsters of vast power and destruction. (GMS) Trailian this humanoid race, native to the planet Trailia, hda a strong affinity to the Force. (GMS) TrailMaker III this speeder bike is produced by Mobquet, and comes in a personal-use model as well as a military model. Powered by a TurboToo repulsorlift engine, it rivals the Aratech Yellow Demon 100 in speed and maneuverability. However, it is larger and noisier than the Aratech bikes, and has not gained the popularity of the Yellow Demon or the 74-Z. (SWSB) TrailMaster this low-end tracking device was produced by Astroserver Industries. The TrailMaster was only capable of providing directional information to the user. (CFG) Trail's End Tavern this tavern was located near the stockyards in Besia Osurne, on the planet Sedesia (SWJ6) Training Lightsaber developed from a standard lightsaber, this weapon was created by the Jedi Order to allow very young students to begin training in the use of a standard lightsaber. Training lightsabers are nearly identical to a standard lightsaber, with the exception of its power and the possible exception of its size. Training lightsabers are meant to be used by young children with little combat experience. Thus, they had their ability to cut through materials greatly diminished in order to reduce injuries. (PJSB) Training Remote this term was used to describe any remote or seeker which was used to train an individual for combat. Several different versions of training remotes were developed, depending on the type of combat an individual was training for. In general, these remotes had tiny repulsorlift engines which moved them about in the air, to strike from different locations and avoid being hit. Many of these devices were used to enhance the hand-to-eye coordination of gunfighters, but a good number of them - such as the Marksman-H from Industrial Automaton - were used to train Jedi Knights in blind-fighting techniques. (SW, PJSB) TraitWare this was the name given to the physical components which make up a droid, along with the computer code which provided a droid with personality and behavioral traits. The behavioral code was copyrighted by Sienar Intelligence Systems during the Galactic Civil War. (FOP, FTD) Trakkie this slang term was used in the Outer Rim Territories to describe any droid which used treads to rotating tracks for locomotion. (MC8) Trakkrrrn this creature is native to Kashyyyk, and was hunted by the Wookiees for its tasty meat. (RD) Traladon the meat of this creature is consumed by many human societies throughout the galaxy. The ribs and rib-meat are often served barbequed, while the milk of a traladon is flavorful and healthy. (TPS, THG) Tralee this port city, found on the planet Esseles, was the sight of an Imperial Navy base during the Galactic Civil War. It was once attacked by the Faceless, in a coordinated effort that also caused severe damage to the DynaCorp refineries on Grande Hyet. (SWJ9) Tralkov's Bar located in the city of Ugnorgrad, on the facility known as the Ugnaught Surface, this Ugnaught bar was linked by several underground passageways to the guildhhall of the Ugnaught Mechanics Union. Its patrons were primarily members of the Union, and very few outsiders were allowed to enter the facility. (PH) Tralkpha this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "swift water". (GCG) Tralkpha the Mon Calamari navigator working for Mara Jade aboard the Jade's Fire. He disappeared during the Corellian revolts surrounding the Starbuster plot. (AC, SC) Tralla one of the three primary continents, built from coral reefs, found on the Pantolomin. (DFRSB) Tralla Room one of the many casinos on the Coral Vanda, the Tralla Room was named for the Tralla continent found on the planet Pantolomin. It was also considered this most impressive casino in the galaxy during the early years of the New Republic, a claim that even Han Solo has to admit was pretty close to the truth. (DFR) Trallan this planet was aligned with the New Republic. (TT) Trallint this man served as Sris Lehhett's chief intelligence officer. He used techniques developed by the Imperial Security Bureau to intimidate people and uphold Lehhett's regime. (GMR5) Tralus Tralus, along with Talus, make up the Twins in the Corellian System. Talus and Tralus orbit each other around a single center of mass, and both are inhabited. At the center of their orbits was Centerpoint Station. (AC, CTD) Tralus and Talus Liberation Party one of the political factions active during the Starbuster plot, they were struggling for the two worlds to seceed from the Corellian alliance and goven themselves. (SC) Tramanos Riij Winward claimed to be travelling from Tramanos to Shibric when he was captured aboard the Hopskip by Captain Niriz. (TFE) Tram-eight this thin cable is used in many of the engine connections on repulsorcraft. (CFG) Trammel, Rufus this man was known as a "procurer of all things exotic" during the last decades of the Old Republic, which basically meant he was a smuggler. An unpleasant man who nonetheless had an uncanny ability to locate just about anything, he was best known for his ability to obtain rare and unique creatures. He was attracted to the moon of Dorumaa, where he hoped to locate incredible beasts in the deep waters of Dorumaa's oceans. He kept his dealings private, for the most part, after his dealings on Blathar III. However, his continued presence in the Cularin earned him the ire of Nirama, who swore to feed Trammel to a slow-eating beast if he was ever apprehended. Trammel maintained a low profile, but continued to work on making inroads against the existing criminal organizations. After the Cularin System returned from The Blink, Trammel made plans to have his operations in the system controlled by Phylus Mon, a known slaver and crimelord with powerful ties to the Hutt criminal organizations. Trammel's possible absence made the minor criminal figures in Cularin wary of possible actions by Nirama, and many feared an all-out war between rival organizations. (LFCW) Trammen this planet, located in the Harron Sector, was heavily re-armed by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Reports indicate that the entire Imperial force there was equipped with light repeating blasters. (ISB) Trammic an ancient language spoken on Trammis III. (LCM) Trammic Mome this creature was native to the planet Trammis III, where it lived in vast, underground warrens. (GMR1) Trammis III a planet whose native lifeform is a reptilian known as the Akorec. This and other reptilian creatures were known to have eaten the first two teams of settlers who arrived on Trammis III, and the third team nearly wiped out the reptiles in an effort to establish themselves. The reptile later were billed as modern-day dinosaurs, and a large tourist trade has developed because of this. It is also a possible birthplace of the Sharu, for Lando discovers Mohs speaking in the Trammic language. (LCM, GMR5) Trammis System a tourist destination because of its dinosaur-like inhabitants, the Trammis System is also famous for its chocolates. (LCS) Trammistan the human natives of the Trammis System. (LCS) Tramora Interstellar Communications this corporation produced a variety of handheld communications devices. (GFT) Tramp Freighter any small, independently-owned cargo ship. (HSE) Tramp Freighter this was one of the many stores which could be found at the Grand Colonnade, on Brentaal, during the height of the New Order. All many of trinkets from a variety of Core World planets could be found there. (WOTC) Tramp Shuttle this was the genric term used to describe any repulsorlift craft that can be modified to serve as a military transport. (RASB) Tramper this was the term used to describe any independent starship owner who performed odd transport jobs, rather than joining a corporation or guild to pull in a regular paycheck. (VD2) Tramsig, Jir this man was a Colonel in the Old Republic Navy, and was stationed in the platform city of Soboll during the last years of the Republic. He spent the early part of his career trying to move quickly through the ranks in the Old Republic in order to obtain a position of power. This earned a double-edged reputation: he showed promise as an officer, but he made some enemies along the way and was regarded as a manipulative man who put himself first and foremost. When he requested a posting in the Cularin System, it was immediately approved, and he spent a great deal of his time trying to rid the Cularin System's asteroid belt of criminals. He set up a base on operations on Dorumaa, choosing his troops carefully and with an eye toward loyalty and aggressiveness. It was Tramsig who pursued Ginder when he discovered that the Bimm had possession of the head of the former protocol droid L80-RC. Shortly afterward, however, Tramsig was promoted to the rank of Admiral by the Thaereian Military, and served as their spokesman during the Thaereian build-up after Cularin's disappearance. His presence within the Thaereian Military rankled many beings, including Nirama, who regarded them as "bantha-fondling psuedo-soldiers." The true level of his involvement was exposed when the slicer known as Tiny F discovered an encrypted transmission Tramsig had made to his Thaereian commanders scattered across the Cularin System. The message demanded the complete suppression of any rebellious activity, as Tramsig feared that the Cularin resistance had gained too much strength. A later transmission was intercepted at the height of the Clone Wars, in which Tramsig revealed that his forces had secretly been controlling trade in the Cularin System for three generations. The transmission, which featured Tramsig arguing his status with an unknown superior, further revealed that the disappearance of the Cularin System was supposed to have been permanent. The transmission ended with Tramsig declaring that he would kill every being the Cularin System if they failed to comply with the wishes of the Thaereian Military. (LFC, WOA4, LFCW) Tramys, Tet this man, a supporter of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, was a noted bass vye player and instructor on the planet Tuttin IV. He left Tuttin IV with Tendis and Jioie Ancum, in order to ensure that they reached their off-world cell without mishap. He later worked with Jioie on many missions, including the establishment of the cell based on Beltrix III. (GMR6) Tran Mariel this planet was the site of an Alliance secret base. The Alliance set up an underground holo network from an apartment there. It is also the homeworld of a species of runyip. (GG2) Trancret this planet served as the capital world of the Perkell Sector during the height of the New Order. (SWMW) Trancret Stock Exchange this was the primary financial exchange of the Perkell Sector of the galaxy's Mid Rim. (SWMW) Trancret Stock Exchange Swindle this wave of insider trading and other stock scams was arranged and executed by Janstren Brell and the Red & Black League, in the Perkell Sector of the galaxy.. (HR, SWMW) Trancrete this alien race was native to the planet Trancret. (SWMW) Trand Medallion this was one of the most distinguished awards given to the personnel of the Alliance. (SWJ4) Trandia one of Crix Madine's best commandos, Trandia was in charge of tracking Durga the Hutt's movements from the Galactic Voyager. She had strawberry blonde hair that she kept in a tight, complex braid. She accompanied Madine and Korenn to try and sabotage the Darksaber project, but sacrficed herself aboard the half-built weapon when they were discovered by guards. A laser bolt nearly took off her arm, and when she was captured, she detonated a small explosive when the majority of the guards had surrounded her. This allowed Madine to continue setting out explosive charges. (DS) Trando this was the name given to the native language of the Trandoshan people. (LFCW) Trandosha this arid planet was the homeworld of the Trandoshan race of reptiloids. Known also as Dosha or Hsskor, Trandosha was located in the same star system as Kashyyyk. (MTS, SWRPG, WOTC) Trandoshan these humanoid reptiles were native to the planet Trandosha. They had long arms, which ended in wide, splayed fingers. Their heads were blunt, with beady red eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Their scales ranged in color from orange to ochre to brown, and individuals with green scales were not uncommon. Much of their body could be regenerated if lost, so a Trandoshan could fight much harder without risk of permanent injury. Being a vicious, warlike race, the Trandoshans evolved into hunters, and were especially proficient at hunting Wookiees, which inhabited the nearby planet of Kashyyyk. Trandoshans hunted Wookiees with a vengeance after the Wookiees put severe restrictions on tourist to Kashyyyk and the surrounding system, in an effort to halt the damage to their forests. This cut off large sums of credits from the Trandoshans, who retaliated by killing the Wookiees for sport. This practice was stopped by the Galactic Senate, which ruled that the Wookiees were not game animals and were to be left alone. It was a Trandoshan official who sold the idea of enslaving Wookiees - rather than simply leveling Kashyyyk - to the Empire, a deal which Emperor Palpatine readily agreed to. After the Battle of Endor, Trandoshans were once again forced to stop pillaging Kashyyyk for Wookiee individuals when the New Republic threatened economic sanctions against them. (COTF, MTS, TBH, WOTC) Trandoshan Army this was the primary military force which protected the planet Trandosha, during the early years of the New Order.

(DMSH) Trang, Kea Ki this man was a traffic control officer at the Palisade Starport Control center on Kabal, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He had thirteen years with Palisade Starport Control, and was on duty when the Asaari Wind, under the false identification Spiraling Shape tried to blast away from the planet. Cecil Noone and his band of thieves had barely escaped from the compound of Tyro Viveca, and were trying to avoid being detained by the local authorities. Trang felt sure that the security shackle connected to the ship's landing gear would keep it from escaping, but Noone's crew simply fired their engines at full power and snapped the shackle before fleeing into the sky. (GMR1) Trangle this Ithorian was a pilgrim during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWRPG) TrangTwo Lowlight Optical Band this was a common modification to the photoreceptors of droids, during the early years of the New Republic.

(GG7, TA) TranLang III the latest generation of communication module used in 3PO series protocol droids, the TranLang III can access up to seven million languages and major dialects, and translate between them. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 71, indicates that the TranLang III was introduced by Cybot Galactica in the TC-series of protocol droids, using the module to differentiate it from the 3PO series. (ISB, SWSB, SWI71) TranLang IV this state-of-the-art droid communication module was developed during the height of the New Order, and first saw usage in the Roche Industries Siak-series protocol droid.

Unfortunately, Tranor was among the many Jedi who were killed during the fighting. Master Tranor was survived by his former student, Jyl Somtay, who was away from Coruscant when the call to arms arrived. (SWI79) Tranqarest this sedative and painkiller was found in many starship medkits during the early decades of the New Republic. (SBS) Tranquility Common located across the Canyonade from the Grand Rim Promenade, this small park was the gathering place of the people of Cejansij. Human and alien alike gathered there to show their support for justice in the galaxy. During the months after the revelation of the Caamas Document, the gatherings took on a new meaning which was denounced by the New Republic. The destruction of several worlds was enacted with lights and dance without any rage or anger. As Luke Skywalker discovered while walking the Canyonade with Moshene Tre, the demonstrators simply wanted the Republic to understand that justice must exist for all people, and should not be limited to any one event. (SOP) Tranquility System I this was the brand name of IntelStar's ground-based sensor blind system. (HAS) Tranquility, The this was one of the many taverns and restaurants located in the Spacer Quarter of Aldera, on the planet Alderaan.

(PH) Trans-Dimensional Energy Streamer this kind of star was a rare sort of pulsar that spewed out matter, energy, and radiation as it spun. The streamer itself was formed from multi-dimensional, gravitational curves which were invisible in the electromagnetic spectrum, but acted like a convergence of hyperspace mass shadows. In addition, the curves produced are never uniform, resulting in the Ei'shuun Aa Effect, which causes immense distrubances within a localized area of hyperspace. (SSR) Transfer Circuits part of a ship's hyperdrive system (ESB) Transfer Register a document which details the sale or trade of property or merchandise. The document is often nothing more than a computer file, but it contains electro-optically recorded prints of the buyer and seller.

(MA) TransGalMeg Industries this diversified corporation, headquartered on the planet Narg, created a number of starship designs for internal use in its mining and colonization divisions. When these designs proved to be durable, TGM opened its shipyards to produce transport ships for the public sector. Its designs include the Xiytiar-class transport. The corporation was involved in a scandal some time shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when Braig Farool and his brother, Nak, attempted to gain power in Rayter Sector by kidnapping Crying Dawn Singer. Imperial Moff Nile Owen and a group of Alliance agents, working separately, discovered the plan and halted it. (DESB, EGV, TA) Transglass this incredibly strong, transparent form of glass was used to make the faceplates of many survival suits, as well as armored helmets. (GG8) Transis Corridor this long corridor was located aboard the Errant Venture, and was the site of many of the ship's bars and cantinas.

(POT) Transit Tax this was a fifteen percent tax, levied against the price of a seat aboard a passenger liner or transport ship, imposed the Old Republic Senate in an effort to raise funds for the government. It was leveled mainly at those seats sold aboard corporate luxury and passenger liners, shortly before the Clone Wars. (HNN4) Transition this was the term used by the Rakaans to describe a change in sex. (AE) Transitory Mists this vast area of ionized particles and stellar gases surrounds much of the Hapes Cluster and prohibits space travel beyond its borders. After Ta'a Chume defeated the Lorell Raiders, the pirates fled to the Mists and hid. The heavy amounts of ionization occurring in the Mists makes them hard to navigate, and little exploration of the interior of the region has been accomplished. (CTD) Translatacomp this was a specialized form of language translation unit, developed during the last years of the Old Republic. The Alliance used many of these outdated devices for exploration missions, since more modern models were quite expensive. (MC53) Translation Pod this specialized device could be placed in a room or chamber, to translate a number of alien languages for the others in the room. Most of these devices translated all received speech into Basic, regardless of the language that was spoken. (TCD) Transliterator this was a term used to describe a device which could translate the speech of one race into that of another. These devices were often worn around the neck, and could be programmed to speak in a variety of voices and accents.

It has the unique property of adjusting to the external lighting conditions, darkening the light is brighter and clearing when the light is lower. Specialized, optically-enhanced transparisteel was developed by Kuat Drive Yards during the early years of the New Order, as a way of providing minimal cloaking for the Empire's huge warships. Nano-tech datalinks were imbedded into the transparisteel, and programmed to filter out specifc wavelengths or other visual data. Thus, a ship plated with this special transparisteel would seem almost invisible. However, this was an expensive technology, and never found widespread use. (CPL, SLS) Transpeeder this was a military speeder produced by the Baktoid Armor Workshop during the last decades of the Old Republic. It never gained popularity among the Republic, and was eventually replaced with the Single Trooper Aerial Platform. Measuring two meters in length, the Transpeeder was a single-person combat vehicle which was armed with a pair of light laser cannons. Later models could also be armed with a single laser cannon and a fragmentation grenade launcher. (AEG) Transplastoid this material was used to create walls and exterior structures for large buildings. (SWJ9) Transport Bathysphere this was a form of submersible transport vehicle produced by Kulv-Bockar for use in the oceans of the planet Mon Calamari.

A trio of engines provided propulsion, with the port and starboard engines also providing maneuverability. (DU) Transport Enveloper this massive beast, bred by the Yuuzhan Vong, was used to transport heavy loads within their strange bodies. (FH3) Transport Ship any starship which has been designed or modified to shuttle cargo from planet to planet. They are often not armed, but have been outfitted with hyperdrives for swiftness. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance was forced to modify passenger liners for transport use.

Dariana later used the story of this encounter to discuss the situation in the Cularin System with her fellow Tarasin, during the height of the Clone Wars.

Axton, like many Jedi of his age, fought in the Clone Wars, and became good friends with Anakin Skywalker. He even introduced Anakin to his family on 24 Tredway. However, the victory in the Clone Wars was a hollow one for Axton, and he returned home saddened at the state of the Old Republic. Shortly after Palpatine declared himself Emperor, Axton was hunted down and executed by Darth Vader on 24 Tredway, an event which shook his entire family. Axton's wife carried on, making the mines on the asteroid profitable enough to put Dena and Erling through school.

Mon Mothma feared that Erling's knowledge of Alliance bases throughout the galaxy - and his perfect recollection of their galactic coordinates -would doom the Alliance. Since Erling was fomenting rebellion in the Sil'Lume Belt, Mon Mothma requested Dena to put an stop to his rebellion. She was unable to to so before Governor Parnell attacked 24 Tredway, killing Dena's mother and capturing Erling while severely injuring Dena in the process.

Unlike Dena, though, Erling grew to hate the Jedi and their "misguided righteousness" because of the death of Axton at the hands of Darth Vader. Erling decided to fight against the Imperial occupation of the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt in a non-violent manner, and became the target of presecution from Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell. Parnell eventually captured Erling, killing Erling's mother and severely injuring Dena in the process. Unknown to Erling, Dena had been ordered by Mon Mothma to keep Erling quiet, a mission picked up by Luke Skywalker after he rescued Dena. Luke, with the help of Gideon Smith and Sidney Shortfang, managed to rescue Erling from Tol Ado.

They agreed to work together to escape, and had to incapacitate Lobot in order to regain control of the city. Lando, however, never revealed his true identity, and Treece did not recognize him.

He pushed Lando over the edge of a city railing, but Lobot managed to rescue him. Treece, however, assumed that they were both dead. When Luke Skywalker arrived to locate Lando, Treece saw his chance to gain a promotion by capturing Skywalker.

The metalmites, however, had been planted in the generator by Klif and Navett, to allow them access to the generator station. (VOF) Trichinitis an easily treated disease. (HT) Trichobezoar this parasite was native to the planet Toydaria, where it often found its way into the gizzards of the Toydarian race. As a reaction, Toydarians experienced severe vomiting until the parasite was expelled. (MBS) Trickster this was one of the nicknames of the Yuuzhan Vong goddess Yun-Harla. (VP) Trickster this is the brand name of Corellian Engineering's starship decoy system. An addition to a ship's countermeasures system, these small decoys could be deployed during flight. They sent out electromagnetic and holographic signals that duplicated those of the parent ship. The Trickster decoys required Imperial certification for operation during the New Order. (GG6) Trickster this was the name used by Jaina Solo to describe the Ksstarr, after the Jedi team to Myrkr stole the frigate to escape. She chose the name after conversing with the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar, whose patron deity was Yun-Harla, the Trickster. Harrar and Khalee Lah tried to track the ship using the normal procedure of monitoring its gravitic signature, but Lowbacca had managed to alter the Trickster's communication system in such a way as to receive signals from the Yuuzhan Vong but not transmit sensor data back to a yammosk. This allowed Jaina and the Jedi to move about in the Trickster without being tracked a yamoosk or by dovin basal mines. Upon arriving at Hapes, Tenel Ka had planned to go ahead in an escape pod and arrange for the arrival of the Jedi. Her pod was captured by the renegade pirate ship Starspritee, which was eventually captured by the Trickster. The Yuuzhan Vong boarding system involved melting a hole in the Starsprite with an organic acid, leaving the two ships bonded together. The conjoined ships were then escorted to Hapes by Jagged Fel and Shawnkyr Nuruodo. The Trickster spent the trip trying to heal itself, a compromise made for not jettisoning the Starsprite completely. The Trickster literally panicked upon reaching Hapes, and the Jedi had to separate the ships or lose them both. The ship nearly died in the subsequent starfight around Hapes, in which the Hapan Navy and Jaina's squadron defeated the Yuuzhan Vong. (DJ, DW) Trickster Jammer this was the nickname given to the New Republic's repulsor-based gravitic countermeasures, used to disrupt the communications of a Yuuzhan Vong yammosk. These devices were developed using intelligence gathered by Jaina Solo and Danni Quee, and allowed the New Republic's naval forces to equalize the odds during battle. They were named for the Yuuzhan Vong goddess Yun-Harla, who was known as the Trickster, and whose guise was adopted by Jaina Solo in an attempt to goad the Yuuzhan Vong into rash actions. (DW) Triclops the true son of Emperor Palpatine, Triclops is a three-eyed mutant whose third eye is located on the backside of his head. He has white, unruly hair, and his temples are scarred from years of forced shick treatments. The Empire considers him insane, and a threat to the Empire and the galaxy if he ever becomes Emperor himself. So Palpatine banished him to the spice mines of Kessel, where Trioculus cruelly abused him while plotting to take Triclops' place as Palpatine's son. Triclops developed a pattern of evil dreams at some point, and some of his dreams dealt with the development of new superweapons. Since tapping Trioculus as the false son of the Emperor, the Empire keeps Triclops alive in a hidden asylum on the planet Duro, working to reprogram his mind as well as to steal the information from his dreams. The Empire routinely denied the existence of a son of Palpatine, until Trioculus claimed he was the Emperor's son and assumed rulership of the Empire. Triclops' third eye emits an hypnotic pulse. He has always despised the Empire, and his hatred of it helped him resist the reprogramming he received on Duro. In case he ever escaped, the Imperial implanted a special device in one of his molars. It was attached to his brain, and could send signals to any nearby probe droids, detailing the fantastic creations of his dreams. (LCJ, MMY, PDS) Trico an edible, fungus-like algae native to the moon Yavin 8. The Melodies have many uses for trico, the primary of which is food. Young Melodies who cannot consume the silver-backed fish that populate the moon's streams must subsist on trico until their digestive systems mature. Older Melodies who have not yet had their changing ceremony also use the trico in a mesh-like mask which provides them oxygen when they dive below the surface of the water their elders inhabit. (LW) Tricopper this valuable, metallic ore was mined on the planet Ord Cestus. (TCD) Tricorrinium Hexifluorine this was a hazardous by-product of the environmental systems used to maintain the ecosystem of the planet Coruscant. (HNN5) Trid this city was the site the primary spaceport found on the planet Danuta, and served as the nimonal planetary capital. The Imperial research facility which maintained the complete technical readouts of the first Death Star was also located here. The plans were stolen by Kyle Katarn, and were used in conjunction with the schematics captured on Toprawa in order to give the Alliance the basis for their attack during the Battle of Yavin. The city itself has been designed by the Brodsport Mining Corporation, laid out in a neat grid that gave it very little character. (SFE, SWMW) Trident an Alliance Mon Calamari cruiser operative during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) Trident-class Surveyor Ship this scout ship was manufactured during the height of the New Order. (OWS) Tridius a planet (DE1) Tri-Droid this unusual combat droid was developed by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Many of these towering, three-armed droids were deployed to the planet Mygeeto, where they protected Separatist strongholds. The main body of the tri-droid was a sphere, with the legs mounted to a spindle that hung from the bottom of the sphere. (OWS) Triebakk this Wookiee represented Kashyyyk as a New Republic Senator, and served on the New Republic Advisory Council when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Senator Triebakk was one of the minority which opnely supported the Jedi Knights, despite strong public and private disgruntlement with the Jedi Order. Unfortunately for the Jedi, and for many of the galaxy's inhabitants, Senator Triebakk was one of the Advisory Council members who were lost in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant. (VP, WOTC, EL1) Triege this Imperial noble Lord led the fleet which controlled the Corellian Sector of Nar Shaddaa, during the early years of the New Order. (SWJ7) Triellus Trade Route this hyperspace pathway connected the Sisar Run with the Outer Rim Territories near Tatooine. (SSR) Trier, Garrik this Imperial Navy Admiral was the commander of the fleet stationed in Brak Sector, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. A confident man, Trier spent a good deal of his free time analyzing Alliance naval tactics, hoping to determine the methods and plans of the Alliance in Brak Sector. (FBS) Trieron this planet is the third world in the Veron System. It is covered with cool oceans and glacier-covered continents, and it the site of a number of oceanographic schools, including the Sab Rufo Academy, Metharg's University, and UnitedChem/SoroSuub University. (PG1) Triewahl Docking Station it was at this space station that Callandri and her cousin, Zayl Braith, attempted to assassinate Alton Lochner and Tirranna the Wookiee. Only the timely intervention of Tirrannaa's companions saved the Alliance operatives. (AIR) Trif this man served the Alliance as a starfighter pilot and military officer, during the months following the Battle of Endor. A former Imperial pilot who defected to the Alliance, he was part of the fleet which traveled to Godo, in order to investigate the strange plague that was affecting the Godoan people. (MC99, MC107) Trif Davith Sconn stayed on this planet for 40 days of forced leave - the longest stretch of time he ever spent planet-bound during 24 years of service to the Imperial Navy. (SOL) Trifecta Star this area of empty space was located near the Corellian System, and was named for the fact that it housed bases for the Alliance, Black Sun, and the Binyare pirate gang. (SWGAL) Triffian this squat, horned, blue-skinned alien species was native to the planet Triffis. (IG1, IWE1) Triffis this planet was located on the inner edge of the Mid Rim, and was the homeworld of the Triffian race. (IWE1) Tri-fighter this three-winged, droid starfighter was produced for the Confederacy of Independent Systems by the Colla Designs - part of the Colicoid Creation Nest - and Phlac-Arphocc Automata Industries during the height of the Clone Wars. These craft were distinguished by their shape, but also by the eerie, red "eyes" of the craft's sensor systems. A central sphere held the main droid brain and the drive system, while three curved wings wrapped around the sphere to give the fighter craft its name. The front of each wing was notched to house a laser cannon, and a fourth cannon was mounted on the front of the central sphere. The overall design of the Tri-fighter was based on the skull of a prehistoric hunter-killer that was once native to Colla IV. The ship was powered by three separate thrusters, giving it incredible manevuerability and speed. The 5.4-meter-long Tri-fighter was armed with a medium laser cannon mounted on the main sphere, a light laser cannon mounted on each wing, and a buzz-droid missile launcher. (LEV, VD3, X3) Tri-fighter a form of Uglies, the Tri-fighter was one of the staples of the Invid pirate fleet. It was custom designed from the basic ball-shaped cockpit of a TIE Fighter. Attached to it were three angular blades spaced 120 degrees apart. The bottom two served as landing gear, and the third came up over the cockpit. All wings had cutouts to improve pilot visibility. The standard pair of laser cannons remained, augmented by a third mounted on the upon wing. They also had shields. The New Republic's pilots referred to them as clutches. (IJ) Triga this compact boardgame was a favorite of spacers. (IG1) Trigalis this swampy world was located in the Outer Rim Territories. (SWI79) TriGas Corporation this gas mining company once tried to mine the planet Nosken using dirigibles. (GG2) Trig-berry a sweet fruit. (THG) Trigdale Foundries Bollux worked as a maintenance helper there, at one time. (HSE) Trigdale Metallurgy this raw mineral and crystal processing and refining corporation was one of the original Contributing Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. It flourished under the rule of Emperor Palpatine, but then floundered shortly after the Battle of Endor. Trigdale shed many of its subordinate divisions in an effort to streamline its business. One of the few that survived on its own was the Marketing division, which became Syndicate One. (CSA, SWJ8) Triggerbird native to the Life Zone of the gas giant Bespin, these birds lived among the tentacles of a beldon. This allowed them to feed on other creatures in relative safety. (T) Triggo this was a slang term used by Imperial stormtroopers to describe the primitive settlements of alien beings. (T6) Trigit this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG) Trigit, Apwar Trigit was an Admiral with the Empire, and managed to survive the Battle of Endor and rose to power shortly thereafter. A native of Coruscant, Trigit commanded the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Implacable in service to Warlord Zsinj. Trigit went rogue after the death of Ysanne Isard at Thyferra, but later joined Zsinj's faction. It was Trigit who was responsible for leaking false information about Gravan Seven to the New Republic, hoping to draw them into a trap. This action was quite successful, resulting the loss of eleven pilots from Talon Squadron, and the decommissioning of the Talons. He wasn't as successful in attacking Folor, for his Morrts discovered the false beacons planted there by the New Republic. This earned him the ire of Zsinj, but he hoped to redeem himself by protecting Zsinj's assets. Zsinj decided that the Implacable would receive the first shipment of TIE Fighters from the Pakkerd Light Transport facility on Ession, and he sent the Implacable there with support from the Night Caller. However, the Night Caller was under the control of the New Republic, which had also commandeered the use of the Blood Nest to take the place of the Red Feathers. As the ancient container ship self-destructed, three full squadrons of Republic X-Wings burst forth from her holds and destroyed the Pakkerd facility before it could launch any TIE Fighters. The Night Caller then bombarded the Implacable with proton torpedoes, destroying her power cells and leaving the Star Destroyer adrift. Trigit ordered an evacuation and set the ship to self-destruct. He got to his personal escape craft, and was about to surrender to Edor Crespin and the New Republic when Myn Donos shot his starship and destroyed it. Trigit was killed in the explosion. (WS) Trigon One a weapons satellite orbiting Annoo, it was controlled by Tig Fromm and his gang during the early years of the New Order. Sise Fromm hated the technology of the ship, but understood that it was an effective method of keeping the natives of Annoo in line. The ship's existence was discovered by Demma Moll and her rebels, but they were unable to destroy it. Later, Demma approached her own daughter, Kea, along with Thall Joben and Jord Dusat, in the hopes that they might help destroy the ship. The two boys and their droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, were on their way to Boonta to race their speeder, but had to stop on Annoo to repair their hyperdrive. They agreed to help, though their plans were nearly thwarted when Kea and Jord were captured by the Fromms. However, when C-3PO earned the trust of Vlix, the group was able to infiltrate the Trigon One and steal it. (DCAR) Trihexalon this biological weapon was developed several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. It served as the basis for many bio-weapons developed by the Separatists, and this simple fact allowed the Old Republic's Ministry of Science to quickly identify vaccines to counteract it. (SWI66) Trihexalophine1138 this chemical defoliant was developed by the scientists of the Confederacy of Independent Systems some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. The original plan to to use the chemical as part of an attack on the planet Naboo, but the transport ship carrying it was intercepted near Honoghr. The transport ship found itself in an intense firefight with its pursuit, and both ships took heavy damage. Ultimately, the Old Republic cruiser managed to limp back to orbit, but the Separatist ship crashed on Honoghr, unleashing the trihexalophine1138. The chemical worked better than expected, rendering Honoghr a dusty wasteland. (RAR) Tri-jet Air Brake this was one of the more powerful air brake available to pod racers, employing three reverse-thrust jets to increasing stopping power. (RAC) Trijit this was a popular name among the Amanin people, named for a famous individual in Amanin history. (UANT) Tril this female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG) Trileaf a tree native to the planet Z'trop. (MMY) Trilinae this Corellian woman was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were stationed at the Almas Academy during the height of the Clone Wars. Tril, as she was known to her friends, was also something of a gearhead, and spent much of her free time working in the Academy's starship hangars. Tril was also good friends with Aayla Secura, and spent as much time as she could with the Twi'lek female when she was on Almas. Her ability to connect with the Force was often fleeting, although Darrus Jeht noted that when she was able to make contact, Tril seemed to be an exceptional conduit for its power. (LFCW) Trill this is the twentieth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "t". (SWM) Trill Dantor this Gotal was a member of the rebel group which hijacked the Telgordo's Pride, shortly after the Battle of Heg. Trill pretended to be a ticket agent during the ship's escape from Bundim. In reality, Trill's "rebels" were simply pirates who robbed the passengers of the ship "in the name of the Alliance." (GMK) Trill, Quintana this woman was one of the most popular holo-movie stars, during the height of the New Order. She never missed the opening night of one of her films, and was known for her flambouyant personal appearances. (GFT) Trilli this man was one of the Peacekeeperrs who protected the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SQ) Trillidor, Parmella this woman was originally a low-tech mechanic from the Kibilini Sector, until she began attracting men. Over the course of ten years, she had six spearate marriages, and eventually gained enough voting blocks to become a director of the Kibilini Smugglers' Guild. When she learned of Artur Manliss' plans to corner the spice market in the Portmoak Sector, she decided to leave Kibilini. She took roughly half the Guild with her, forming the Anavill Smuggler's Guild and joining the Mandroxan cartel as the primary shipper of Manliss' spice. She actually won the contract from Sehvorah in a heated suvac game. Many rumors flew around that she was planning to marry Artur Manliss, in an effort to secure more control of Mandroxan. (GG11) Trillili, Chalmer this man was the leader of the Scourge, a pirate gang which worked on the outer fringes of Elrood Sector during the height of the New Order. He was at one time a member of the Alliance military, but he deserted when the Alliance's goals clashed with his own selfish morals. Chalmer was quite intelligent, but was a hopeless romantic who believed that pirates were the most honorable form of law enforcement. Chalmer secretly worked with Imperial Mining, Limited, and agreed to protect the planet Alluuvia from Radell Mining Corporation for a substantial fee. (OE) Trillium this plant, which was native to the planet Kashyyyk, was used by the Wookiee race to create a pleasant-smelling soap for cleaning their fur. (TG) Trillka a green, froglike alien with a humanoid body, she gets involved with C-3PO and R2-D2 when they come to be owned by the Baron Pitareeze of Kalarba. She was paid by the Baron, through R2-D2, to fix a crack in C-3PO's cranial casing. When she finished, Threepio was repaired, although he had an X-shaped patch on sealant on his head. This made him look exactly like the assassin droid, C-3PX, and a series of misadventures ensued on Hosk Station. The situation was resolved, but when the droids returned to Hosk, Trillka helped them reroute an explosion set by Olag Greck so that it blows out the top of the spaceport, rather than downward into the planet. (DRO) Trillot this X'Ting was a noted crimelord on the planet Ord Cestus, during the last years of the Old Republic. Many considered Trillot to be one of the most powerful beings in the capital city of ChikatLik, operating at the nexus between the criminal underworld, the corporate leaders, and the other races of Ord Cestus. Among Trillot's primary contacts was his distant cousin, Caiza Quill, linking Trillot to the powerful Five Families. Originally hired by Cestus Cybernetics as a communications drone, Trillot found a niche in labor relations. He was known as a risk-taker, which helped him gather wealth and influence in a short period of time. He managed to find a source of viptiel that helped keep his sexual phases changes to a minimum, allowing him to operate without the need to reporduce. In order to better interact with his various underworld contacts, Trillot learned a multitude of languages, and spoke many of them fluently. Trillot always tried to play all the angles of a situation, so during the Clone Wars Trillot worked with both the Separatists and the Old Republic. Some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, Trillot was a male who was experiencing the change to female when she agreed to serve as a contact for Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto, when the Jedi Masters were dispatched to Ord Cestus to learn the truth behind the Separatist involvement in the JK-series security droid. However, Trillot was intercepted by Asajj Ventress before he could meet with Obi-Wan. The Dark Jedi forced Trillot to remember his deal with Count Dooku, and Trillot immediately agreed to lead the Jedi down a false trail. Ventress, however, wanted to capture the Jedi, and ordered Trillot to provide as much of the truth as Obi-Wan requested. After the Desert Wind terrorists were routed, Trillot and many other inhabitants of ChikatLik felt a brief sigh of relief, until the terrorists severely disabled the Clandes Industrial complex. As Cestians began hording their resources against a possible shortage, gambling and drug revenues quickly dwindled to minimal levels, leaving Trillot with almost nothing. After Asajj Ventress failed to kill Obi-Wan, and the Five Families were smashed, Trillot found herself confronted by the Dark Jedi, who needed to ensure that there were no loose ends to expose Dooku's plot. With a swift slash of her lightsaber, Ventress executed Trillot. (TCD) Trilon, Incorporated this small starship designer produced fewer than a dozen different designs. It also produced small runs each year. Trilon's best designs were in starship hulls, and it licensed the use of components from Arakyd, Kuat Drive Yards, and Sienar Fleet Systems. This allowed Trilon's customers to mix and match their components, and create a custom-built product. During the last years of the Old Republic, Trilon was known for its compact speeders, like the M-31, which were used throughout Galactic City on Coruscant. (EGV, HNN5) Trilos this is the primary satellite of the planet Atraken. When the planet was devastated during the Clone Wars, most of the planet's inhabitants fled to the mining outposts on Trilos to live.

(VOF) Trin in the casino game known as trin sticks, a trin was the ability to form six colored sticks into two separate triangles. At each point of the triangles, the colors at the ends of the stick had to match in order to form a valid trin. (SESB, GMR8) Trin Sticks this was a popular casino game in casinos along the border between the Core Worlds and the Mid Rim, during the early years of the New Republic. Ostensibly a simple game, the object of trin sticks was to create geometric shapes using a combination of colored sticks. Each stick was painted with different colors at each end of the stick: red, blue, green, or yellow. At the start, players drew six sticks from a common pool, holding them so that one end was concealed in their hands. Using the colors as guides, players had to match colors at the corners to form geometric shapes with their sticks. The more complex the shape, the larger the payoff. Betting was based on the number and types of shapes a player could form: a simple triangle was the most common shape, while two distinct triangles - a pattern known as a trin - was the highest possible outcome. With each round, a player could discard up to five sticks, placing them in the common pool and drawing out the same number of sticks. (SESB, SWJ7, GMR8, GCG) Trin, Gespar this man lived on the streets of Tel Bollin, on the planet Endregaad, during the early years of the New Order. A spice addict, Trin tried to peddle normal glitterstim spice as the medicinal spice that was required to treat the Endregaad Plague, using whatever profit he earned to buy more glitterstim. (TF) Trinary Machine Language this was a more sophisticated form of machine communication, with more ability to describe complex representations than binary languages. (FH3) Trindellian Oak this deciduous, hardwood tree was native to the planet Trindello. Its strong wood was harvested and exported to many worlds in the Moddell Sector, for use in construction and furniture making. Xenobotanists discovered that individual Trindellian oaks were not free-standing trees, but shoots that grew from a shared root system. Individual oaks were fast-growing trees, reaching enormous heights in just a few decades. When harvested, Trindellian oaks yielded an unusual, dark green wood that was nearly as hard as iron. The scientists who studied the Trindellian oaks warned of the possibility of extinction if the trees were overharvested, but the logging corporations chose to ignore the warnings. The loggers who worked in the forests had to be careful not to disturb the kargul worms that lived at the heart of each oak cluster. (GMR9) Trindello this small moon orbited the only planet in a remote star system that was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. At the center of the system was a white dwarf star. Trindello was known for the huge Trindellian oak trees that grew in its forests. Small, isolated settlements sprang up on Trindello as logging operations took root, but the rest of the planet was uninhabited. (GMR9) Trine the season on the planet H'nemthe which is marked by the simultaneous display of the planet's three moons at night. (TME) Tri-Nebula Entertainment this subsidiary of TriNebula news was based in the Minos Cluster of the galaxy, and produced some of the most controversial holo-dramas of the New Republic. Among these holo-dramas were three bogus documentaries on Han Solo and his exploits during the Galactic Civil War, including Eight for Aduba-3: The Saga of the Star-Hoppers. (GMR4) TriNebula News this news agency covers the action in roughly a quarter of the Outer Rim Territories, inclduing Parmel, Quence, and Portmoak Sectors. They were fiercely pro-Imperial during the Galactic Civil War, and openly ridiculed Palpatine's opponents in their tabloid-style reports. TriNebula News was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Number 8 refers to this ageny as TriNebulon News. (GG9, CSA, SWJ8) TriNebulon News see TriNebula News (SWJ8, GMR4) Trinium this mineral, mined on the planet Quas Killam, was used in the manufacture of weapons systems during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SOJ) Trinivii one of the more powerful Hutt kajidics.

After her parents were killed during the Imperial subjugation of her homeworld, Cheryl hid in the forests and grew up there, separated from the rest of humanity. She was coaxed out of hiding shortly after the Battle of Endor by a group of New Republic agents and Jedi students, all of which discovered that her powers were far more advanced than their own. (GMS) Trinka this hot, rocky world is the first planet in the Elrood System. A small group of researchers maintains a small station on the planet. (PG3) Trinkatta Starships headquartered on the outskirts of Calamar, on the planet Esseles, this starship manufacturer was owned by Boll Trinkatta. Trinkatta was contracted to develop and build fifty hyperdrive-equipped droid fighters shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The Jedi Council sent Adi Gallia to investigate who paid Trinkatta to build them, but she disappeared. Much of the facility in Calamar was controlled by droids, with minimal human involvement. When Boll Trinkatta learned that the starfighters were Xi Charran designs commissioned by the Trade Federation, he refused to help and was also imprisoned when Bartokk assassins re-programmed the factory's droids to eliminate any resistance. It was later revealed that Darth Sidious himself had ordered the manufacture of the droid starfighters, as part of a plan to seize control of the plant Brentaal, thereby controlling the Hydian Way and the Perlemian Trade Route.

(GMR9) Trinta this was the name of the realm of demons in the Ithorian mythology. (DOE) Trinta this swampy planet was the site of a nexus of the energies of the Dark Side of the Force. The fifth planet orbiting the star Yartiv, Trinta was first discovered by the Ithorians, but even the nature-loving Ithorians disliked the planet immediately. They named it for the realms of demons in their mythology and left it alone. More than ninety percent of the planet was covered with fetid swamps, with the remaining area dotted by tiny islands and mudbanks. Many decades later, the nexus flared and engulfed the entire planet after Halagad Ventor arrived on the planet, fleeing the Jedi Purge and Darth Vader. It orbited the red star Yartiv, in a sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Several attempts have been made to colonize the planet in the modern era, but the Dark Side nexus drove the settlers mad before too long. Trinta's gravity was somewhat less than standard, but the difference was often made up by the deep mud which covered most of the planet. (DOE) Trinta, Oti this man was a native of the planet Naboo. He was also a member of the Naboo Diplomatic Corps, and served in the Naboo Underground during the Trade Federation's invasion of the Naboo System. (SON) Trintic this alien race joined the New Republic. They were a technically-adept race, and served often as starship technicians.

His mutation is manifested in the presence of a third eye in the center of his forehead. This third eye has hypnotic powers. As a child, he was ridiculed by the other schoolchildren on home world of Kessel, and he became obsessed with exacting revenge on them. He studied a great deal of the history of the Imperial war machine, and became an expert on Imperial military tactics. He grew to become a ruthless leader, cruel and evil in his treatment of others. He was serving as the Supreme Slavelord of the Kessel spice mines when Grand Moff Hissa began to cultivate a friendship with him, in an effort to prepare him as a replacement for Triclops, Palpatine's true mutant son. His trusted droid, Emdee-5, had implanted a cybernetic device in his body that would allow him to created simulated Force lightning, giving the impression that Trioculus was gifted with the Force, even though he had no sensitivity whatsoever. When he tried to bargain with Zorba the Hutt for Princess Leia's life, Zorba captured him and froze him in carbonite. Supreme Prophet Kadann recovered a fake, frozen form of Trioculus and vaporized it, thinking that he had killed the pretender. However, Zorba kept the real Trioculus on board the Zorba Express, where it was recovered by the Grand Moffs near Tatooine. He was about to marry Princess Leia, who had been taken from Zorba along with Trioculus, but Han Solo and Luke Skywalker replaced her with a replica droid. The droid fatally wounded him during the wedding ceremony, and he died shortly after. (GDV, ZHR, MMY, QE, PDS) Triogor Sllus this Quarren was a pilot for the New Republic, but was antagonistic and often violent with his squadron mates.

Crebiks themselves were immune from attack, since no other creature on Troos could penetrate their own thick shell. Crebiks mated by traveling to the nearby body of water and consuming great quantities of it, causing their bodies to expand and exposing vulnerable flesh.

Troper later reported the loss of Kev and Hereven, and was temporarily suspended for his lack of valor. A rescue mission failed to locate Kev and Hereven, but it did report back on the ferocity of the gasnits. Troper was re-instated, and he eventually joined the Imperial Diplomatic Corps. Unknown to Troper, however, was the fact that both Kev and Hereven survived the attack of the gasnit. Many years later, Troper was aboard the Galactic Horizon to negotiate a treaty when he discovered that Dayla Kev had been plotting to exact revenge against him. Only his foresight in hiring a team of freelance mercenaries to be his bodyguards saved him from her attacks.

Factions of support for both the Republic and the Separatists fought an intense civil war, although the planet's leaders supported Count Dooku and the Separatists. The leadership had planned to surrender to the Republic, in hopes of having the Republic's forces withdraw from the planet. Then, in a smashing coup, a government-funded rebellion would storm the remaining Republic forces and claim the planet for the Separatists. While Dooku contemplated the usefulness of such a maneuver, Darth Sidious forbade it. Sidious wanted the fighting to continue on Troxar, in an effort to chew up more clone troopers.

(FC) Tru Veld this near-human Teevan youth was training to become a Jedi Knight, on the planet Coruscant, during the same period that Anakin Skywalker was a Padawan. A rubbery-limbed being with silvery eyes, Tru became one of Anakin's best friends at the Jedi Temple, especially after Anakin discovered that Tru's technical skills complimented his own. At the time, Tru was being trained by Ry-Gaul, and he was known for this photographic memory. Tru supported Anakin's plans during their participation in the evacuation of Radnor, some five years after the Battle of Naboo, further deepending their friendship. Their friendship continued to grow over the following years, although Anakin continued to become more emotional and confrontational. Tru failed to understand his friend's competition with Ferus Olin, and began to find Anakin's continual anger toward the other apprentice contrary to the teachings of the Jedi Order. When the Padawans, along with Darra Thel-Tanis and their Masters, were dispatched to Korriban to apprehend Grant Omega, Tru finally realized that Anakin might not be the best friend for him. Anakin continually baited Ferus, and refused to cooperate with the other Padawan. Tru understood that Ferus - not Anakin - had been chosen for early promotion to Jedi Knight, but he felt that Anakin should have been more supportive and less angry. Tru was injured in a fight on Korriban, and his lightsaber was badly damaged in the fighting. Rather than turning to Anakin, who had previously repaired the weapon, Tru decided to ask Ferus for help. Ferus didn't turn him in for the damage, as Tru had expected, but instead helped repair the weapon so that Tru could continue fighting. The repairs, however, reversed the fixes Anakin had done, and caused the lightsaber to drain power at a faster rate. Thus, as the Jedi team pursued Granta Omega in the Valley of the Dark Lords, Tru found himself weaponless. In another fight, he was unable to protect Darra, who took several blasts in the chest and later died from her wounds. Although the mission was ultimately successful, both Tru and Ferus were dismayed by Darra's death. Upon returning to Coruscant, Ferus was censured for his actions and chose to leave the Jedi Order. Rather than turning to Anakin, Tru remained loyal to Ferus, who had helped him in a time of great need.

(CFG) True Ubese this is the name adopted by those members of the Ubese culture that survived the destruction of the Uba System and remained on Uba IV. They considered those Ubese who fled to Ubertica to be yrak pootzck. (SESB) True Way this was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe the pathway they believed led an individual to the True Gods.

(T) Tru'eb Cholakk this Twi'leki smuggler was an acquaintance of Platt Okeefe, and worked often for the Alliance as well as the New Republic. He owned the Luudrian Star, which he used to run weapons in the Mid and Outer Rims. As a youth on Ryloth, Tru'eb aspired to become a member of the headclan of Kala'uun, his home city. He hoped to arm the Twi'leks and allow them to resist the slavers who continually raided their planet. As he learned more about the politics of Kala'uun, he found that Ku'amar - his own cousin - had been secretly plotting to take control of the city for himself. However, despite his pleas, Tru'eb was outcast and was sold into slavery to Big Quince. However, Quince used Tru'eb more as a personal servant than a slave. Tru'eb, for all his loyalty to Big Quince, continually schemed to escape. His plans were furthere when he met a yougn slavefirl named Platt Okeefe. They stole Quince's personal shuttle and fled. Platt later paid Tru'eb for his help in escaping from Big Quince, and he used the money to buy the Luudrian Star. Both Tru'eb and Platt were working on Zelos II, and had hired Dirk Harkness to help, when they discovered the hidden Imperial garrison there. They tipped the New Republic to the garrison's location, but Harkness went in to ensure the base was destroyed. He was captured in the attempt, and the Republic's forces were virtually wiped out. Platt and Tru'eb eventually rescued Harkness, since both believed he was a good man, and also rescued Jai Raventhorn.

(SWJ9) Truishii Trade Guild this guild is renowned for its respectable business practices. The Truishii guild manages business on all of the Truishii colony worlds. (SWJ9) Trulalis the primary planet in the Trulalis System, Trulalis was also the least prosperous. It was removed from the worlds of Issor and Cadezia by distance, and was regarded as low-tech by the Issori. The Issori banned middle- and high-technology from the planet, and the natives have more or less accepted the roles of farmers and workers. It is covered with rich, green forests, wide grasslands, and oceans. Although the native Issori have kept the planet low-tech, many remember its thriving days as a fine liberal arts education center during the Old Republic. The average day on Trulalis lasts 23 standard hours, while its year lasts 310 local days. (SWJ4, TFE, SWJ8) Trulalis Stage Company this was one of the most prestigious acting guilds on the Outer Rim, boasting the likes of Adalric Brandl and his son, Jaalib, among their members. However, after the fall of the Old Republic and when Trulalis was relegated to low-tech status by the Issori, the company was disbanded. (SWJ8) Tru-Lok 5000 a starship laser cannon manufactured by Senko Systems.

(SHPT) Trunk Ripper this large, arboreal mammal inhabited several backwater worlds. They have a prehensile tail that allowed them to move through the branches in search of bugs. They had heavy claws on their forefeet, which they used to tear the bark from trees which are infested by insects. The ripper's long snout enabled it to reach bugs that burrowed deep into the wood of the tree. Although they resembled large birds and could travel from branch to branch in short jumps, their forelegs were incapable of launching them into flight. (IA) Trunkflute a Kubazi musical instrument. (WG) Trunks Bibo this Ortolan was the leader of the gang known as the Lost Ones during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Despite his tough exterior and his reputation as one of Coruscant's toughest street fighters, Trunks was secretly in love with Sleta Suke. The pair arranged to disable the attendees at her engagement party, so that she could escape with Trunks and elope. Trunks was easily distinguished from other Ortolans by his tattoos, which covered his short fur in geometric patterns of purple, red, and green. As an individual, Trunks took pleasure in theft, vandalism, and torturing new gang members, the latter activity almost always taking place in the Gartro Rookery. (CCW) Trunsk this large, humanoid race of beings was known for their fighting ability and short tempers. Native to the planet Trunska, the Trunsks adapted to life on the cold, thin-atmosphered planet by evolving cave-like nostrils and large ears. Their ancestors were clawed predators, but the Trunsks eventually developed sentience and began using their hands to form and use tools. Their early civilization was based on military strength and power, until Tyl the Deplorable used his military genius to turn his army into a police force and conquered their homeworld. This stopped the intense wars which raged between the clans, freeing up a great amount of funds with which they began developin technology. Trunsks soon developed their own hyperdrive, but their ability to travel the galaxy was cut short when Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order. Declared a slave species, the Trusnks were the made the centerpieces of many intergalactic circuses and gladiator fighting rings, despite the fact that they are intelligent and independent. Trunsks are covered with short, stiff fur, and two tusks protrude from their lower jaws. Like Wookiees, Trunsks have retractable claws on their hands and feet. (SWJ3, TFE, SWJ13) Trunska this rocky world was located in the Colonies region, and was the homeworld of the Trunsk race. It was a cool world with a thin atmosphere. (SWJ13) Trup this was one of the more common Kel dor surnames. Its meaning translated into Basic as "porter". (GCG) Trusk this was a noted Cragmoloid, who made several trips away from his homeworld of Ankus during the early years of the New Order. (GMR6) Trust Me this small freighter was part of the pirate fleet controlled by Larken and the Pillage. It was captained by Bak, but was destroyed by the Interceptor-class freighter Kizbon's Box. (SWJ5) Trustant this was the title given to the Caamasi who led the individual Caamasi Remnant communities. The Trustant was responsible for maintaining the community's ways in the hope of one day returning to Caamas. (IJ) Trustworthy this modified Etti Lighter was owned and operated by Drolen Antig. It was armed with eight quad-laser cannons. (SWJ10) Trusty Trikker this elderly Quarren owned and operated Trusty Trikker's Guns & Ammo, a small weapons dealership located in the settlement of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Trikker was easily distinguished by the fact that he was missing one eye, the result of a shootout many years before. The loss of his eye forced Trikker to retire from the outlaw trade, but he never lost his love of weapons. Thus, he established the store on Lamaredd to help the many beings who hunted or fished in the oceans of his homeworld. (GMR7) Trusty Trikker's Guns & Ammo this weapons dealership was established by the Quarren known as Trusty Trikker on the planet Lamaredd. If a device was designed to hurt something, chances were good it could be found there. (GMR7) Truth, The see True Way (SWI64) Truthful Toryn this Duros owned a used starship lot on the planet Tralus during the early years of the New Order. Han Solo tried to sell the Talisman to Toryn, who was aware of the fact that the ship was listed as stolen. He could only offer Han a scrap-metal price for the ship, since it was stolen property, but offered to give a little more if Han would tell him a story. Han was in a hurry, and passed on the story, but took the scrap price in cash. Five years later, after Han was dishonorably discharged from the Imperial armed forces for rescuing Chewbacca, Toryn gave the young man a job as a pilot and repairman.

(PH) Tryll, Augustus this man, distinguished by his large, beak-like nose and well-oiled, black hair, proposed a deal with Obi-Wan Kenobi during the years following the Clone Wars. Perhaps best known for his dealings in slavery, political betrayals, and stolen property, Tryll was initially dismissed by Kenobi. When the luxury liner was attacked by the Merson Slavers, many of ths ship's passengers accused Tryll of being the source of the signal that indicated the ship's presence in the Merson Asteroid Belt. When Kenobi tried to assume Tryll was innocent until proven guilty, severl passengers remembered their earlier conversation, and argued that they were in the plot together. Before the crowd could attack themboth, Obi-Wan was able to discover that the signal's source was in a fermentation device. He disabled it with his lightsaber, and saved himself and Tryll from any harm. (MC24) Tryna Chime this small, arrowhead-shaped sheet of metal was fitted into a ring and used as a musical instrument. The Tryna chime was often the topmost piece of percussion used on a drumheller harp. (VD) Trynic this Devaronian tramp freighter captain has piercing red eyes, a trait which generally unnerves his associates. He was long considered one of the best tramp pilots in the Minos Cluster, because of his shrewd business sense and ability to quickly assess a situation's profit potential. He genuinely loves the solitude of space travel, even with the wanderlust most Devaronian males feel. His ship, the converted YT-1300 known as the Solar Flare, has been modified to accept much larger cargoes than a stock freighter. Trynic was known throughout the Cluster as "The Devil," a nod to his appearance as well as an acknowledgement of his business skills. (GG6) Trynn, Jion this Imperial Admiral was in command of the fleet which was dispatched to quell the rebellious uprisings on Gerrard V, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. At his command were the Star Destroyers Adjudicator and Relentless. (SWJ3) Trypanid this anti-toxin was used to cure the effects of many standard, Imperial interrogation drugs, like Xebonica. (SWJ10) TS-138 the cell block from which Han Solo and Luke Skywaler claim they are transferring Chewbacca, when they try to rescue Princess Leia. This is another veiled reference to George Lucas' film, THX-1138. (SWN) TS3519 issued by Grand Admiral Thrawn during the search for Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo on Tatooine, some four years after the Battle of Endor, directive TS3519 prohibited the killing of any individual targetted for capture. The killing of an individual, whether accidental or not, would result in the loss of a week's liberty and a month's wages for the entire platoon. These fines were cumulative, in those situations where more than one individual was wanted for questioning. However, directive TS3519 also stated that, if the only way to stop the individual from escaping was to kill them, then they must be killed no matter what the consequences to the platoon. Should the targetted individual escape, the platoon would be denied liberty for one year, and forfeit all pay for the duration of their service. The individual trooper who allowed the target to escape would be tried and executed for crimes against the Empire. (TG) T-s5 Seinar Fleet System's Proton Torpedo Launching system used on the TIE Bomber. (SCRE) T-s7b an early version of Seinar Fleet System's Targeting Computer, used on the TIE Bomber.

(SCRE) Tsaa Qalu this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was in command of the forces which protected the aliens' base on Wayland, some 28 years after the Battle of Endor. A warrior of the Nuun, Tsaa Qalu chafed at the inexperienced forces he was provided to guard the Mount Tantiss ruins, but kept his own skills razor-sharp. Rather than capture Klin-Fa Gi and Uldir Lochett, Tsaa Qalu chose to let them escape the planet, in hopes of pursuing them into space and locating the hidden Jedi base. The Shapers on Wayland ordered Tsaa Qalu to take the Throat Slasher and hunt down the infidels, and he nearly succeeded. However, a side mission was to ensure that Bey Gandan reached Thyferra in order to deliver the virus which would destroy the alazhi trees. Tsaa Qalu played his game to perfection, despite the misgivings of his crew, and managed to get Bey to Thyferra despite the efforts of the Dug, Leaft. However, Leaft had decided that the Yuuzhan Vong were not going to let him live, so he fought back against Tsaa Qalu and his crew. The Dug stole a coralskipper and used the cognition hood in the craft to force the Throat Slasher to crash into Thyferra. Tsaa Qalu and his entire crew were killed in the explosion. (SWI62, SWI64) Tsaak Vootuh this Yuuzhan Vong Commander was in charge of the small fleet which was dispatched to Yavin 4 to capture the students who were training at the Jedi praxeum. Tsaak Vootuh was disappointed to find that the Peace Brigade had reached the system first, and had bungled their own capture attempt. He was then forced to expose Mezhan Kwaad and her heretical work on Tahiri Veila, after having gained the confidence of Nen Yim through his spy, Tsun Qel. Unfortunately for Tsaak Vootuh, he was killed when Tahiri managed to escape from the Shapers. Tsaak Vootuh's actions, however, became the stuff of legend to the many Shamed Ones who struggled to find their place in the new Yuuzhan Vong society. Mezhan Kwaad's heresies proved to the Shamed Ones that the Jedi Knights were not the evil creatures they were made out to be. Stories of how Tahiri survived her torture began to circulate among the Shamed Ones, starting an underground cult that worshipped the Jedi Knights, not the old Yuuzhan Vong gods. (EVC, FH1) Tsaelke the graceful, long-necked cetaceans of Chad III's deep oceans. They are large beasts, measuring up to 12 meters in length and four meters in width, and are naturally spirited and curious. The natives of Chad have learned to use them as mounts, and can be seen riding tsaelke as they herd bildogs and proop. One unusual feature of these creatures is their hand-like flippers, which have a semi-opposable thumb that can be used to manipulate large objects. Individuals can be easily identified by their brown markings which are patterns of spots, stripes, and rings. Callista had them carved into the handle of her lightsaber, for her family used to migrate the with herds to support its ranch. (COJ, SWJ10) Tsaisi this snake-like creature was genetically created by the Yuuzhan Vong. Shorter and narrower than an amphistaff, the tsaisi was worn coiled around the arm as a sign of a Yuuzhan Vong's position within the military. The tsaisi was of the same species as the amphistaff, but was much more delicate and more difficult to wield in battle. That made its appearance very rare, and the wearer was a warrior of incredible skill in both battle and command. (DTO) Tsall, Writ this mercenary found himself on the planet Glova, after a series of embarassing misadventures. He sold his services as a hired gun and sharpshooter to the various criminal elements on the planet. (POC) TS-Arach this was the brand name of MerenData's pest control droid. The TS-Arach was spider-like in shape, with four long legs and a central body supporting a snake-like head. It was designed to operate in agricultural environments, killing the pests which could destroy crops. The TS-Arach was "armed" with pesticide sprayers, and had a number of lifeform sensors. It was also equipped with a database of insect and rodent lifeforms, in order to identify potential pests. (FTD) Tsavong Lah this Yuuzhan Vong was the Warmaster in command of the forces led by Shedao Shai which invaded the galaxy. Because of his bravery in battle and his ability to lead others, Tsavong Lah had undergone the ritual of escalation countless times. His body, a mixture of true flesh and surge-coral implants, closely resembled that of the deity Yun-Yammka, the Yuuzhan Vong god of war. His body armor was actually grown from his flesh, with individual scales imbedded in his skin. The scales were actually living creations, and had attached themselves to his bones and distorted his limbs to a degree. He hated the fact that Nom Anor was given so much leeway by the Supreme Overlord, Shimmra, but agreed that the Jedi needed to be removed in order to take control of the galaxy. During the attack on Duro, Tsavong Lah managed to capture Leia Organa-Solo, and planned to use her as his first Jedi subject. However, Randa the Hutt sacrificed himself in order to help Leia escape, and Tsavong Lah was nearly killed in battle with Leia and her son, Jacen. Ultimately, the Warmaster left Duro without a Jedi, and without the wealth of sacrificial refugees he had hoped to obtain. In the wake of the Battle of Duro, Tsavong Lah claimed he would put an end to the hostilities and leave the Core Worlds alone, provided that the New Republic turn over Jacen Solo to the Yuuzhan Vong. He replaced the foot he lost in battle with Jacen, setting the stump with a biologically recreated vua'sa foot, further enhancing his stature among the Yuuzhan Vong. In order to ensure a victory at Coruscant and the capture of Jaina and Jacen Solo, Tsavong Lah later sacrificed his arm, but this time the implant did not take. It continued to become infected and fester, despite the taking of Coruscant and the capture of Jacen Solo. Many among the Yuuzhan Vong power structure feared that Tsavong Lah's time as Warmaster had come to an end, and even Viqi Shesh used the apparent failure of the graft to plant seeds of doubt and suspicion in he Warmaster's mind. It was Nen Yim who discovered that the radank claw was growing, and seemingly consuming the Warmaster as it developed. In order to stem the tide of the battle, the Warmaster called upon his father, Czulkang Lah, to assist in recapturing the planet Borleias and destroying the small group of New Republic forces there. The struggle for Borleias dragged on much longer than anticipated, with the Republic's forces using unanticipated techniques to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. Tsavong Lah began rooting out the possible priests who were undermining his efforts, only to find that his real nemesis was the intelligence being gathered by Nom Anor. This only made the division between the two that much larger, and culminated in the Yuuzhan Vong's glaring defeat in the Battle of Ebaq. As the battle dragged on and more Yuuzhan Vong ships were destroyed, Tsavong Lah ordered an assault on the Jedi Knights on Ebaq 9. He nearly destroyed the Solo twins and many other Jedi, but Jaina was able to defeat him in combat. She stabbed Tsavong Lah in the throat with her lightsaber, killing one of the Yuuzhan Vong's most noted leaders and precipitating the downfall of their invasion. (DTR, JE, BP, EVR, DJ, EL1, EL2, DW) Tsayv this surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "architect" in the Sullustan language. (GCG) Tschel a Lieutenant in the Imperial Navy, Tschel served under Captain Pellaeon aboard the Chimaera during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn, some five years after the Battle of Endor. At the time, Tschel was one of the many inexperienced officers serving under Captain Pellaeon, as well as one of the most easily excited. After Thrawn's death, Tschel continued to serve Pellaeon, rising in rank a Major and serving as Pellaeon's chief bridge officer during Pellaeon' struggle with Moff Disra. (HTTE, DFR, SOP) Tseeach this Fyodoi tribal shaman is the spiritual leader of the Roh tribe. Like all Fyodoi shamen, Tseeach carries a small transmitter that will warn him if the control station on Tharak is attacked. He is training his son, Erloi, to follow in his footsteps as shaman. (PG2) Tselgormet Prize a culinary award given annually to the galaxy's best chef. The chef Porcellus once won it five years in a row, while endentured to Moff Mylore. (TJP) Tser, Wolam this man was a noted holo-documentarian who had chronicled the entire political lifecycle of the New Republic. He had collected information dating from the birth of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and his political acumen was rivaled only by his ability to capture important events on film. During the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Tser produced the popular holodocumentary, The Battle of Borleias, which showed the valiant and heroic efforts of Wedge Antilles and the forces which defended Borleias in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. (EL1, DW) T-series Protocol Droid this series of protocol droids was created by the Empire. (SH) Tshindral III this airless, lifeless planetoid was known as the location of Gateway Space Station. Tshidral III had a day which lasted 25 standard hours, and its year took up 300 local days. What little atmosphere the planetoid did retain was laden with toxins and corrosive elements which could erode the hull of a small freighter in less than a local day. No one was sure what sort of holocaust destroyed the planet, although there was no end to speculation among the patrons of the Falling Star Saloon. (WSV) Tsi this was the native language of the Mrlssti. (PGT) Tsian this woman was a princess from the planet Old Mankoo, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Like most of the royalty from the planet, Princess Tsian struggled to maintain her wealthy lifestyle in the wake of a devastating economic disaster. When her family's claim to the throne was overthrown, she decided to enhance her standing by becoming an assassin for hire. The Senate Guard linked Princess Tsian to the death of Senator Jheramahd Greyshade when a Psicom 126 droid interface was discovered inside the verbobrain of Senator Greyshade's THX-series servant droid. Only one cybernetic interface was purchased with the Psicom unit, and it was registered to Princess Tsian. Her role in Greyshade's death was revealed when she was dispatched to eliminate his successor, his own cousin Simon Greyshade. She pretended to have romantic feelings for Simon, then lured him out onto a balcony. Tsian then called for her assassin droids to attack them. Only the quick intervention of Sagoro Autem and Isaru Omin, who subdued Princess Tsian and broke her link to the droids, saved Greyshade's life. It was later revealed that she had been hired by Venco Autem to eliminate Greyshade, and that she was the assassin who killed Jheramahd as well. Venco arranged to have Tsian released from prison, in return for her commitment to help him eliminate Greyshade. The feint nearly worked, but the detective work of the Jedi Knights and the Senate Guard revealed the plans before they could come to fruition. Princess Tsian was again imprisoned and held for questioning. (RHD) Tsii dau poonsi this Yuuzhan Vong command translated into Basic as, "the mouth, cause it to close." It was used to close the access ramp to a Yuuzhan Vong starship. (EVC) Tsik Vai this was the name given to the small, skyhopper-like ground vehicles which were created by the Yuuzhan Vong. Like all Yuuzhan Vong vehicles, the tsik vai were grown, rather than built. Each tsik vai was equipped with a collection of whiplike tentacles that were used to capture a target or prey. In shape, the tsik vai resembled a huge seabird or flat searay, with dovin basals studding its body to give it life and propulsion. The neck sac of a tsik vai could be distended to reveal bright red flesh, and was used to signal other craft in the vicinity. The wings of this craft were flexible, and it "breathed" through a set of gills on its flanks, which whistled as it moved through the air. The average length of these vessels was about nine meters, and they required a pilot to operate. (EVC, UF, NJOSB) Tsil this is the word used to describe the crystalline rock formations found on the planet Nam Chorios. Those tsil formed from Spook crystals were acutally sentient spires of rock. The tsils were the source of Force-sensitivity among the settlers on the planet, but their ability to channel electricity earned them the notice of Loronar Corporation. Loronar harvested tsil crystals for use in their Centrally Controlled Independent Replicant (CCIR) technology. When it was discovered that the tsils were actually sentient, Loronar was severely reprimanded by the New Republic, and those CCIR devices which were already in use had to be recovered in order for the tsils to be replaced with inorganic crystals. (POT, EGA) Tsillin this was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "sad-eyed". (GCG) Tsillin Wel this female Quarren served as a New Republic Intelligence agent whose job was to pore through Imperial expenditure records to locate "black holes." These "black holes" were expenses that couldn't be explained, and might possibly lead to anti-Alliance operations that could still exist. Among the things she searched for was evidence that Tycho Celchu had been on the Imperial payroll. In this capacity, she served as a material witness in Celchu's trial, and detailed that credits had been deposited into accounts for Celchu, but that there was no evidence that he was aware of them. (KT) Tsilor River located on the planet New Plympto, this river formed one of the boundaries of the city of Phemiss. (CCW) Tsinimal this alien race subjugated the planet of Langhesa nearly 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, enslaving the native Langhesi. The Tsinimals regarded the Langhesi skills in genetic manipulation to be an affront to their gods, and sought to wipe them out. Many xenoarchaeologists note that mass-murder and galactic conquest did not bother the gods. (RP) Tsmeu-6 this personal wheel bike was produced by the Z-Gomot Ternbuell Guppat Corporation during the final years of the Old Republic. Measuring 2.5 meters in diameter, the Tsmeu-6 was originally designed as a military vehicle, and was known as the preferred ground vehicle of General Grievous during the Clone Wars. The central ring of the bike was padded for the comfort of the rider, and housed a pair of frictionless, magnetic rails that supported two massive chains that propelled the outer drive rings. These outer rings were studded with large claws that could dig into the rockiest of terrain for traction and stability, or could fold inward to allow the wheel bike to approach speeds of 330 kilometers per hour. The rider sat just outside of the rings, so that they had a clear view of the road. Opposite the rider was the main weapons emplacement, which could accommodate a double laser cannon. At the bottom of the vehicle were a pair of running boards that folded up when the vehicle was in motion. When stopped, or when necessary to move over rough terrain, each running board folded down to expose two clawed legs. These legs held the wheel bike upright when parked, or could be used to move the wheel bike over obstacles. (X3) Tso'asu this was a crawling creature native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld. (EVC) Tsore this Gallofree medium transport was used by the Alliance to transport bacta during the Galactic Civil War.

It was here that Admiral Daala convened a meeting of the surviving Imperial warlords following the destruction of the Eye of Palpatine. (DS, PH) T'ssolok this intense, Twi'leki liquor was bottled in a sculpted decanter. Thaddeus Ross often drank a bottle of this liquor whenever he felt that hislife couldn't get any worse.

(EGW) Tsui Choi this small, blue humanoid (who resembled an Aleena) was a Jedi Master, and a contemporary of Mace Windu and Qui-Gon Jinn. Tsui Choi was known as a skilled pilot, and could make a capital ship do things reserved for starfighters. He and his student, Theen Fida, were part of a team dispatched to the planet Yitheeth, in an effort to locate the Yinchorri command center. Master Choi was disheartened when Theen Fida was killed on Yinchorr while guarding their starship, but steeled himself for the work to come. Master later caught Vilmarh Grahrk's cousin, before the Devaronian could steal the ship. Years later, Master Choi was part of the force dispatched by the Old Republic to the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. The VCD987 was attacked by Separatist forces and boarded, with the Separatist forces led by Count Dooku himself. Dooku let the Jedi return to Coruscant, but ordered his forces to eliminate any clone troopers aboard the ship. (AOW, J4) Tsukkian Water Freighter this kind of starship was designed to carry huge cargoes of water to desert planets and other water-starved worlds, for purposes of terra-forming and in times of drought. During the height of the New Order, these ships were considered clunky and out-of-date, but nonetheless found usage among mercenary and pirate fleets because of their durability. (SWCP) Tsun Qel this Yuuzhan Vong Shaper claimed to have been sent to assist Nen Yim by Mezhan Kwaad herself. In reality, Tsun was a spy who had been sent to Yavin 4 to ensure that no heretical activity was taking place during the examination of Tahiri Veila.

(EVC) T'surr this desert planet, located in the Expansion Region, was a cold world that was continually swept by winds and storms. T'surr orbited at a large distance from its sun, so very little light and heat reached the planet. The native sentient species, also known as the T'surr, as well as other creatures found on the planet, evolved to survive in these harsh conditions. The planet's gravity was considered higher than normal, and many humanoid races considered the gravity too oppressive. (WOTC, UANT) T'surr little was known about this alien race, which was native to the planet T'surr in the Expansion Region. Violent and ruthless, the T'surr were large beings with blue, marble-like skin and a heavily-muscled, humanoid frame. A number of horns crowned their heads, and large ears gave them excellent hearing. Four red eyes sat above a wide mouth which was filled with razor-sharp teeth. As a race, the T'surr considered any species weaker than they were to be merely chattel, and had no qualms about enslaving "lesser species". The male T'surr ruled their homeworld, and often traveled away from T'surr as slavers and pirates. Females are almost never seen, and the males often describe them as small and feeble. From each of the T'surr's elbows there were two forearms: a heavily-muscled primary arm and a thin, clawed secondary arm. Like most creatures that evolved on T'surr, the average T'surr had excellent vision in low-light conditions. (WOTC, UANT) T'surrese this was the native language of the T'surr race.

They were hired by Ro Fenn, with the assistance of Vilmahr Grahrk, to kidnap Nat Secura in an effort to force Lon Secura into keeping Ro Fenn alive. The Nikto were also under the employ of Kh'aris Fenn, who was working to overturn his father's leadership and take control of Ryloth. As the more experienced warrior of the pair, Tsyr was continually having to overcome Bok's impulsive behaviors to realize their goals. They returned to Kintan with their captives, in an effort to draw the Jedi Knights searching for Nat Secura and Master Tholme away from Ryloth. Tsyr refused to help his son when Bok was trapped in a lava river, after Bok's impulsive behavior allowed Aayla Secura and Quinlan Vos to escape. He was surprised, as well as proud, when Bok survived the lava river. When the two morgukai cornered the Jedi inside Fortress Kh'aris, Tsyr was beheaded in combat with Quinlan Vos. (ROP, WOTC) T'Syriel this humanoid race, native to the planet Shiva IV, was a slightly canine appearance.

The TT-8Ls round eye was attached to a segmented arm that could extend or retract from its compartment, and could flex into a number of configurations to get the best view possible. TT-8L droids were programmed as door greeters, communicating with new arrivals and then alerting the residents that someone has come to see them. Because of the popularity of the TT-8L, Serv-O-Droid produced a number of variations, including the TT-8L/XSS and the TT-8L/Y7.

Emperor Palpatine used a number of XSS models in his residences, to monitor who came to visit. (EGD) TT-8L/Y7 this version of Serv-O-Droid's TT-8L droid was the least expensive of its variants, lacking a segmented body. Instead, the Y7 was simply the observation eye attached to a single-jointed arm, and it was given scanning capabilities. The Y7 was targetted for sale to the more paranoid members of galactic society, including crimelords and black marketeers, who wanted to know who was calling as well as whether or not they were armed. In keeping with the target audience, Serv-O-Droid gave the Y7 model a confrontational personality that could be altered to its owner's wishes. Jabba the Hutt had a Y7 model installed at this palace on Tatooine. (EGD) TT8L-Y7 see TT-8L/Y7 (GQRG) TT-9 this Trade Federation MTT was key to the Federation's invasion of the planet Naboo, for it was used to deploy additional STAPs into an arena whenever reinforcements were called for.

(FTD) TTT-54 this was one of SoroSuub's first military contributions to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The TTT-54, known as a Thumper, was a grenade launcher that required a great deal of effort to move into position. Unlike weapons like the Merr-Sonn MobileMortar-3, the TTT-54 did not have a built-oin repulsorlift engine. The TTT-54 made up for this by allowing a wide variety of projectiles to be fired, depending on how the weapon was programmed. (AEG) Ttul'Thar a Kian'thar businessbeing who worked as a mediator for MadisCorp. (GG12) T-type Starship this is another name for the Aramadia-class thrustship.

When an assassination attempt was made on several galactic Senators on Coruscant, Master Zuth and Tu'ala were the only Jedi on the scene. Master Zuth was killed, but not before he revealed to Tu'ala that there was a third thing that made beings unique in the Force: one's love for other beings. Tu'ala realized that she did love Zuth, and her knowledge of the Force deepened. (T14) Tualin this was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth.

The business made Tuden rich, and he never forgot Pavan's help. When Pavan was in trouble trying to escape Darth Maul, Tuden arranged for a driver to pick of Pavan and his droid, I-5YQ. Tuden also arranged for Pavan to obtain an ARE Thixian Seven, which Pavan planned to use to finish his battle with Maul. Before he left, though, Pavan turned control of I-5YQ over to Tuden so that the information the droid contained could be brought to the attention of the Jedi Knights. The Sakiyan was both honored and pleased, because he had been coveting the droid for some time for his own use.

Like most of the rest of the team, Cherek was a rookie, and relied more on his bureaucratic training than his gut instincts. Every step of the mission had to be completely planned out, and execution could not waver if they were to succeed. This grated on Joram Kithe and his partner, Mapper Gann, who had survived an earlier mission on Pengalan IV only through their quick thinking and ability to improvise. Tuhm became extremely flustered by Joram's initiative during the mission, especially when Joram and Mapper reworked the team's original plan in order to break Teeks out of prison.

The mouth of a tuk'ata was filled with three rows of teeth, and its head was protected by three horns. The arms of the tuk'ata were generally considered to be vestigial wings, and were tipped with poisonous stingers. The poison acted on contact, numbing any flesh it touched.

His businesslike demeanor attracted him to Gillam Tarturi, who asked him to join his small band of mercenaries. His field of expertise was in military history, and he provided Gillam's group with a battle strategist. When Gillam's plan to fake his own death and blame it on his father was exposed by Anakin Skywalker and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Tulah, Gillam, and the entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning. (JQ5) Tulak this Advozse warlord was active some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo. He was infamous for sweeping onto undefended planets and taking control of them for himself.

Although they were regarded by most people as traveling traders, the Tuldoks were actually pirates who plundered their way through the Colonies region of the galaxy. During the height of the New Order, they stayed in the Colonies region during the Imperial occupation of Recopia, but returned shortly befre the battle of Endor as privateers working for the Alliance. After the loose government of Recopia joined the New Republic, the Tuldok family assumed legitimate control of the Recopian govnerment. (CCW) Tuldok Ranch this small, rocky plateau was located on the planet Recopia. Like many other such plateaus, the Tuldok Ranch was essentially a city-state unto itself. Owned by the Tuldok family, the Ranch served as their base of operations. (CCW) Tuldok, Gull this man was one of the leaders of the Tuldok clan during the last years of the Old Republic, commanding one of the family's three main pirate fleets. Although Recopia was considered his home, Gull spent most of his life in space, ambushing ships in the Colonies region and returning only to restock his ships.

(ECAR) Tulimus this man was a Captain in the Imperial Navy, and was in command of the Star Destroyer Havoc during the assault on Edan II. He hoped to ensure an Imperial victory over the Alliance at Edan II by planting an agent within the base's personnel. At a pre-defined signal, the spy would bring down the planetary shield and disable the ion cannon, allowing Colonel Deers' forces to launch a ground assault. Unfortunately, Tulimus didn't count on the resourcefulness of the rebel underground or the Alliance, which launched a full-out attack on the Havoc after the Empire had routed Edan Base. In the face of the attack, Tulimus and his crew were destroyed in the explosion of the Havoc. (IAG) Tulis, Maharg this was the new identity provided to Edda Gast by the New Republic, after she agreed to provide information on Warlord Zsinj's Project Chubar and Project Minefield.

(SOC) Tull Raine this Barabel ruled the Dool Arena on Reuss VIII, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. A former shockboxer, Tull retained the use of his boxing gloves, which he used for both showmanship and combat. (WSV) Tull, Sheeka this woman, a former smuggler and entrepreneur who was native to the planet Atrivis 7, was a noted pilot who worked with the Desert Wind guerrilla group during the height of the Clone Wars. She was also loyal to the Old Republic, and agreed to help Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan Kenobi infiltrate the native Cestians in an effort to ascertain the truth behind the JK-series security droids being ordered by the Separatists. Her loyalty only extended as far as needed, and she made it perfectly clear to the offworlders that she was not happy about the situation. She was the daughter of Sheevis Tull, who taught her how to fly a starship. She nearly lost her sister on Devon Four, when the Republic refused to break an embargo to provide aid when a plague struck the planet. Sheeka took it upon herself to smuggler the antidote onto the planet, breaking several Republic laws to save her sister. A dark-skinned woman of exceptional beauty and strength, Sheeka had a stringent sense of humor and a deep-seated love of her people. As an eighteen-year-old smuggler, she moved about in her personal starship, the Spindragon, which she kept lovingly maintained. During this time she had a brief affair with Jango Fett, and she never forgot him. After her parents were killed in a range-war on Atrivis 7, she fled the planet to the most remote location she could reach: Ord Cestus.

Thus, Yander's death hit Sheeka hard, and she retreated into her personal shell. Years later, when the Jedi arrived, she arranged to meet Master Fisto in the Dashta Mountains, and was surprised to find that the Nautolan was also accompanied by a group of ARC troopers. The appearance of the clones, who resembled Jango Fett at the time Sheeka first met him, shook her up a bit. It was their appearance that softened Sheeka a little, and she found herself attracted to Nate in many ways. Even training for combat drew her closer to Nate, who eventually changed his name to Jangotat. After their base was invaded by a group of combat droids, Sheeka managed to rescue the badly-injured Jangotat and remove him to her village in the Zantay Hills. It was during his recovery that Jangotat felt most vulnerable, and his presence at the settlement only placed Sheeka and her family in danger. Sheeka revealed that she hated what he represented, the Clone Wars and the way it was destroying the galaxy. As for Jangotat himself, she only felt pity. This pity changed to love after she took him to see the Guides in person, and Jangotat realized that he was unique in the galaxy, despite the obvious nature of his upbringing. She kissed him twice to prove her love, and Jangotat did nothing to prevent it. In the brief time they were together, Sheeka conceived a child by Jangotat, the only thing she had to cling to after his heroic death on the Kibo Plateau.

However, his troops were extremely loyal and effective, and Tulon's results could not be ignored. After Tulon was promoted to Captain, one of his superiors contrived to have Tulon eliminated by sending his troops to Khomm, placing them in harm's way. However, Tulon and a handful of others survived the massacre, and he eventually discovered the treacherous actions. He exposed his superior officer, but the fact that so many men died under his command led him to request a transfer to become an instructor. Tulon excelled in teaching the workings of the Battlefield Holographic Control Interface. (FC) Tulvaree a species of semi-intelligent avian hunters, the tulvarees were native to the planet Pochi.

The pattern formed by the tumble-slabs was limited only by a child's imagination. Ultimately, the tumble-slabs were put in place to be knocked over. The first tumble-slab would fall into the next, and so on, until all the tumble-slabs had fallen over. Over time, adults began to compete with each other, in order to see who could place the most intricate patterns into motion. (MJH) Tumleh Navigation this sister company of the Shankti Drive Works was also located in D'larah. Tumleh specialized in hyperspatial navigation systems and programming.

(UP) Tun Aduban this was considered the capital city of the planet Aduba-3, although many believed this was simply because it was the location of the planet's only spaceport. (GMR4) Tun Aduban Spaceport this was the only spaceport found on the planet Aduba-3. It was originally just an open collection of spaces alloted at random on a flat patch of stable desert sand. When the false chromium rush brought prospectors and mininf operations to the planet, a control tower was erected to help navigate the increasing numbers of starships at the spaceport. After the mines were abandoned, the control tower was no longer needed, and was also abandoned. Coordination of the spaceport's activities was delegated to a half-functioning PK-series droid, which only seemed to be concerned with the operational status of the spaceport's landing beacon. Because of this situation, shipjacking was a common occurrence, as well as a variety of thefts. (GMR4) Tun Wala this manufacturing center was located on the planet Arda-2. The T-6 diodem was manufactured here during the Galactic Civil War. (CSWEA) Tuna Boat this was Alliance pilot slang for a Gallofree Yards Medium Transport.

Made up from offworlders who had made Abregado-rae their home, the Tundei was founded with the help of the Herglic known as Shelov. The activities of the planet were governed by the Tundei Tribunal. While their efforts worked initially, their strongarm methods of enforcing the new laws eventually backfired. Smugglers who once flocked to the planet as a haven changed their tactics to supplying the opponents of the Tundei regime with weapons and food. When stronger actions were taken to block this activity, the smuggling community simply stopped working on Abregado-Rae altogether, since their profit margins dwindled while the risks multiplied. Eventually, Tundei regulations starved the planet of billions of credits, both legitimate and illegal, and the planet nearly went bankrupt. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Tundei found themselves overwhelmed by refugees demanding a place to hide. (CCW) Tundei Tribunal this was the leadership body of the Tundei regime, which took control of the planet Abregado-rae during the early years of the New Republic.

Unlike his predecessor, Senator Dowmeia was focused on the Republic's well-being, a stance that led him to join Meena Tills as a part of the Delegation of the Two Thousand. Unfortunately, Senator Dowmeia was among the first Senators to be arrested for their part in the Petition, after Palpatine instituted the New Order and assumed the position of Emperor. (SWDB, HNN5, E3N, SWDB) Tungra Sector located near the Javin Sector, the Tungra Sector was home to the Mugaari pirates shortly after the Battle of Hoth. (TIE) Tunnel Runner this was another name for a geebug. (TCD) Tunnel Worm this bioluminescent lifeform was encountered by the crew of the FarStar, deep inside an alien construct located within the Kathol Rift. They lived in unusual streams and rivers running through the construct, absorbing nutrients through their permeable skin. It was later discovered that the tunnel worms were descended from a bio-engineered worm which was created to clean the water supply of the construct. When the original builders abandoned the construct, the tunnel worms continued to evolve on their own. (KR, SWJ15) Tunnel Worm tunnel worms were native to the planet Tasariq, living in the tunnels they burrowed into the earth. These segmented worms measured more than three meters in length, and were predators who hunted on the surface of the planet.

Their mouths are filled with sharp teeth, and are surrounded by several horns that stud their chins. They have an intense passion for the hunt, and are an aggressive, self-confident race. These characteristics were questioned when the Tunroth were decimated by the Reslian Plague, but the resulting sense of unity and purpose in rebuilding their society has made them stronger. The plague was brought to their system by a group of Lortan fanatics who swept through the Jiroch and several other systems, leaving death in their wake. The Empire tried to destroy the Lortans and remove their scourge from the galaxy, and succeeded in the Jiroch System. Thus, the Tunroth people have some minimal priase for the Empire, even knowing that the Empire was not there to save the Tunroth themselves. They have agrarian technology, but have taken quickly to high-tech weaponry in their struggles against Imperial domination of their system. (GG12) Tunroth Assemblage of Three this group of Tunroth advocated the simultaneous colonization of Kalok and Saloch. (GG12) Tunrothese this was the name of the native language of the Tunroth race. The spoken form consisted of primitive grunts and snarls, while the written form used pictograms to indicate specific objects. (UANT) Tuomi this New Republic Senator was a native of the planet Bosch. He constantly questioned Leia Organa-Solo's credentials, claiming that the refugees of Alderaan did not constitute a nation under the Republic's auspices.

After Tino told Obi-Wan and Astri of Captain Yur T'aug's halt to the investigation of Ren's death, Weez, Cholly, and Tup followed the two to Coruscant. They hoped to find the location of Zan Arbor's hidden stash of medicines and vaccines, taking them and selling them for a huge profit. They had planned to steal them all along, but Ren had told them to stay away from Zan Arbor. Weez felt that if the trio could see Ren's belongings, they could locate the stash and obtain the medicines. The trio returned to Simpla-12 with Obi-Wan and Astri, but were unable to help them infiltrate Zan Arbor's lab. The trio tried to redeem themselves by helping Astri locate Ona Nobis, first tailing the bounty hunter on Sorrus and then following her to Belasco. In the end, the boys never saw any fighting, but provided "moral support." They agreed to travel to Coruscant with Astri to work as Didi's Café.

Alliance forces were able to eliminate nearly all of the Hammers' repulsortanks , but not before losing large amounts of manpower and equipment themselves. Most Imperial supporters considered Turak IV a success because of the large amount of damage done to the Alliance. The planet is covered in sweeping lava plains that speak eloquently of the planet's intense seismic activity. (ISB, SWJ9) Turan this was a race of orange-skinned creatures. (TBH) Turan, Fort this man was the leader of the Old Republic scientific team which traveled to Haariden, some five years after the Battle of Naboo, to investigate the effects of a volcanic environment on its atmospherics and inhabitants.

He deserted the military and fled to Tatooine, where he fell into a deep despair and had to live with his older brother, Jamie, because he would not keep a regular job. After nearly losing his brother's landspeeder repair shop in a sabacc match to Tere Metallo, Matt was faced with a choice: pay Metallo the 150,000 credits he owed her, or go to work as her mechanic.

The farmers eventually betrayed them, and Master Fulier was captured and killed. Etain managed to escape, but only barely. She feared that her lack of ability to control the Force would be her death, since it had kept her from advancing very far in her own training. However, as luck would have it, she ran into the clone commando Darman during her escape. She was unprepared for Darman's appearance, since she had been away from Coruscant while the Grand Army of the Republic was formed. His pronouncement that she was now his commanding officer scared her, as she had very little military training. She was also unprepared for what she saw of Darman with the Force, because she saw him as a ten-year-old, which was his chronological age. Given his military training and Etain's Jedi training, she was surprised to find that she was attracted to him, and he to her. She felt stronger and more capable in his presence, and he helped her learn some of the skills she needed to be a military commander. He located two poles and sparred with her in one-on-one combat, honing her lightsaber skills while enhancing both their fighting skills at the same time. Etain thoroughly enjoyed these times together, as they served to strengthen the bond between them. After Uthan was captured, thanks in part ot Etain's growing leadership and combat skills, she returned to the Republic's command post to report to Jedi Master Arligan Zey. She refused to leave Qiilura when Zey ordered the rest of Omeag Squad to hunt down Hokan, and Zey was forced to lat her accompany them. They located Hokan quickly, and it was Etain's lightsaber that finally killed the criminal. Fi returned Master Fulier's lightsaber to her, but Etain didn't want it.

After years of conquest, the Yuuzhan Vong brought Sgauru and Tu-Scart to Coruscant, following the planet's reformation into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar. On Coruscant, the pair was put to work in destroying as much of the duracrete and transparisteel as they could, thereby helping the World Brain to complete its worldshaping activities. Some five years after the invasion began, Sgauru and Tu-Scart were ordered to play a more offensive role, when they were dispatched by Supreme Overlord Shimrra to attack the Galactic Alliance infiltration force that landed on Coruscant.

After some discussion with Wedge Antilles and the Inner Circle, Luke agreed to turn the squadron over to Jaina Solo, in an effort to enhance her image as Yun-Harla incarnate, as part of their plan to throw the alien invaders off-balance. The plan was two-fold: it would put Jaina in a position of authority over the Jedi, including Luke Skywalker; and it would enhance the notion that she was a twin. The squadron performed admirably, but took losses as the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong wore on. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant and the raids into Yuuzhan Vong-controlled space, Twin Suns Squadron was regularly restaffed with inexperienced recruits, a fact that gnawed on Jaina's conscience. However, as the battle began to turn toward the Republic and Jaina gained more confidence in her leadership abilities, Twin Suns gathered more and more success. With the appearance of Zonama Sekot near Coruscant, some five years after the initial invasion, Jaina relinquished command of the Squadron to Jagged Fel, so that she could be more involved with the work being done with the living planet.

(JQ5, JQ9) Tyro Viveca this Krish was considered the wealthiest member of his species, and was a hunter and collector of exotic predatory creatures. However, his morals were considered lacking by many fellow big-game hunters, since Viveca often hunted sentient beings for sport. He was known to have captured a female Florn lamproid and her mate, killing the male and stuffing while maintaining the female in captivity for a later hunt. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Viveca opened his doors to Cecil Noone, who had traveled to Kabal in an attempt to sell a Hapan gun of command his band had stolen. Viveca had heard through the underworld grapevine that Noone had crossed or doublecrossed both Guttu the Hutt and Ritinki, and threatened to turn Noone and his band over to the other crimelords if he didn't simply give the weapon away. When Noone protested, Viveca explained that the only way he would escape would be to avoid being captured before he could exit the Krish's hunting grounds. During the hunt for Noone, Viveca found himself the target of the female Lamproid he had captured, which had been set free by Noone. Although the Lamproid managed to kill Viveca's servant, Rutt, he was able to kill it before it could harm him. The loss of the creature only increased Viveca's desire to kill Noone. Viveca thought it was very unsporting of Noone to accept the help of his companions, Dawson and Kels Turkhorn, in escaping from the compound, but soon found himself worrying about his own demise. Dawson had rigged up a wad of detonite to a motion sensor, and when Viveca entered a copse of bambooi, his body triggered the devise. The resulting explosion killed Viveca instantly, and leveled some four hectares of bambooi. (GMR1) Tyrol this small-time Devaronian criminal was known to use luma flares during a fight, as a way to incapacitate a large number of attackers. (GUN) Tyrson, Saz this former Imperial Commander took the forces under his command and defected from the Empire after the Battle of Endor. He used his military prowess and the fleet he stole to take control of more than twenty star systems, carving himself a nice little empire. Many believed that Tyrson was behind the poisoning of Natja the Hutt, but his was later proven innocent. (POC) Tyrus once an officer in the Repean military, Colonel Tyrus served as second-in-command of the Crimson Aces defense fleet. When the Empire destroyed the original Crimson Aces, Tyrus fled into the Cron Drift, where he eventually met up with his commanding officer, Gikkin, and rebuilt the Crimson Aces as a mercenary unit. Tyrus assumed command of the Crimson Aces after Gikkin's death. (GMR9) Tyrusian Butterfly-bird this species of avian was known for its incessant chittering. (MBS) Tyrusian Mangler this was a ferocious creature known for its interspecies battles. (DMSH) Tyrusian Red Ale this potent brew, produced during the last decades of the Old Republic, was noted for its advertising slogan, "Because yellow doesn't look good in space." This was perhaps the best things about the ale, which had a horrid smell. (MBS) Tyruun this tree, native to the jungles of Haruun Kal, was known for its exotic wood. Because the tyruun tree grew only on Haruun Kal, its wood was quite expensive. When used to make a fire, tyruun wood burned at a very high temperature, creating white-hot embers which lasted for hours. (SHPT) Tyshapahl the natives of this planet staged a peaceful demonstration against the New Order and their Sector Moff. The Moff sent his ships to hover over the protestors and disperse it. When the demonstrators failed to disband, he ordered the ships to leave quickly, burning the protestors in their exhaust wake. (RD) Tystel Mark III this heavy blaster weapon was produced by the Zabrak, during the era of the Great Sith War. Many Tystel blasters ended up in the hands of pirates, when they began ambushing transport ships from Iridonia to acquire them. The Zabraks retaliated by placing military personnel on their transport ships, taking the fight to the pirates. Unfortunately, many of these Zabrak personnel recognized the profit that could be made, and listed the shipments as "lost" in order to sell the weapons on the black market. (KOTOR) Tythe this desolate planet was the site of an Old Republic base, until the planet's government was overthrown by the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. Many years earlier, the once-lush planet had been virtually destroyed by the LiMerge Power corporation, which had attempted to profit from collecting plasma-based energy from its core. The mining operations proved inadequate for containing the plasma energy, and a series of nuclear explosions caused intense geological disruption, leveling much of the planet's surface and leaving it a barren wasteland. Only a handful of hardy plants managed to survive the cataclysm. It was rumored that Count Dooku established a base of operations on the planet, and it was enough of a rumor that the Jedi Order believed it was true. Upon hearing their news, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine requested that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker be dispatched to Tythe to capture Dooku once and for all. Although members of the Jedi Council worried about such an attack spreading the resources of the Grand Army of the Republic too thinly, Palpatine insisted that there might not be another opportunity to capture Dooku. This insistance nearly proved to be fatal, as it was learned that Dooku's appearance on Tythe - coupled with that of Shu Mai on Felucia - was a ruse meant to draw the Jedi Knights and the Grand Army of the Republic away from Coruscant. It was, in fact, a clone of Dooku that was on Tythe, one of many such clones created to draw the Republic's forces into a thinner and thinner net. Once the real Dooku saw that the capital of the Republic was undefended, Dooku launched an all-out assault on Coruscant. (ROF, YDR, LEV) Tython this planet was believed to have been the first world on which the Force was discovered, during the early years of the Old Republic. The Force was known as the Ashla to the natives of Tython. (PJSB) Tytun this gas giant is the fifth planet in the Gacerian System. It has eight moons. (PG2) Tyu this crimelord operated from a base on Kazlin 5. (SWJ10) Tyus Cluster Kinnin Vo-Shay and his ship, the Ashanda Ray, were to have disappeared in the area of the galaxy, some fifty years before the Battle of Endor. (TFNR) Tyvark this being owned and operated a general store in the east central section of Ahto City, on the planet Manaan, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. (KOTOR) Tyvius this man was one of the many refugees from the planet Druckenwell who tried to escape the Yuuzhan Vong subjugation of his homeworld by fleeing aboard the converted freighter Chilastra. The effects of seeing his home destroyed and his homeworld in the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong caused Tyvius to lose his mind, and the attack on the Chilastra caused him to fall into a deeper state of denial. He tried to attack the Yuuzhan Vong warriors who boarded the ship with a sonic blender, believing that the cooking tool was a blaster. Knowing that Tyvius was not Ka-Tu-Un, the Yuuzhan Vong decided to leave Tyvius alone. (GMR8) Tyvokka this Wookiee was a great Jedi Master who served on the Jedi Council dring the years leading up to the Stark Hyperspace Wars. Many Jedi believed that Master Tyvokka could read the future through the Force, remaining focused on the present to intuit what the future might hold. Master Tyvokka was known as a patient tracher, but he was tested in this when he took Plo Koon as his Padawan apprentice. Nevertheless, the pair worked well together for many years. It was Master Tyvokka who first saw through the false bacta shortages which were the cause, in part, of the Stark Hyperspace Wars. His steady demeanor kept the negotiations between the Stark Commercial Combine, the Trade Federation, and the Old Republic on track until Stark tried to assassinate everyone. In the ensuing firefight, Master Tyvokka was killed when the Trade Federation's battle droids opened fire into the melee, which became known as the Fifth Battle of Qotile. His place on the Jedi Council was taken by his apprentice, Plo Koon. (SHW, WOTC) Tyyre, Valantya this woman was a small-time, local holovid star who threw extravagant parties and mingled with all sorts of wealthy and famous beings. She also operated a temporary safehouse for the Alliance. Known as 'Vala's Place,' Valantya used her apartment in the StarTower Residences as a place to hold Allaince agents until they could be moved to the Brila residence at 16AA889 Starfield Road. She didn't use the nickname Vala as a rule, but agents who needed her help were instructed to ask for Vala and use the passphrase, "The droid sent me." (HAS) Tyyx this Rodian lived on the planet Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, and made a decent living selling tips on the galaxy's podraces to the gamblers who frequented the Outlander Club. (IWE2) Tzarib a planet. (CSWEA) Tzeel this woman played percussion for the badn Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. Distinguished by the white facepaint she used, Tzeel originally wore the paint only at concerts, where it made her face glow in the stage lighting. However, she came to enjoy the effect, and decided to wear white facepaint all the time. She was known to talk as much with her hands as with her mouth, moving her hands as though she were playing the drums while she talked. She was injected with a heavy dosage of drugs by Niklas Cories, who was trying to make it appear that she was actually her own stand-in, Rossi Kildaon, when Cories tried to murder Aquella Firth aboard the Sleemo Poya Jeedai. (WOA28) Tzenkens an Alliance Fleet Admiral, Tzenkens was placed in charge of the Tierfon fleet following the Alliance's losses in the Tocan System. (RASB) Tzeotine this thick resin was produced in copious amounts by the plantlife that dominated the planet Parcelus Minor. Tzeotine was used by the inhabitants of the planet as a fuel source for lamps and heat, and refined it for use as a motor fuel. The presence of so much tzeotine in the plants proved deadly to the planet during the Clone Wars, when a rogue Separatist general ordered an orbital bombardment of Parcelus Minor. The blasts ignited the tzeotine that was in the plants, setting the entire planet on fire in a short time. (RDE) Tzidik Wrantojo this four-legged, insectoid being was one of the galaxy's best podracers, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. (RACR) Tzimernut this tree was native to the planet Hapes. (DJ) Tzizvvt this male Brizzit was hiding from Imperial authorities on Tatooine prior to the Battle of Yavin. He was in Mos Eisley, trying to secure passage deeper into the Outer Rim Territories, when Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi approached Han Solo for passage to Alderaan. (CCG2) Tzur originally native to the oceans of Yuuzhan'tar, the long lost homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong, this writhing mass of tentacles was a voracious predator. (GMR8) Tzur'qipat this was the Yuuzhan Vong name for the technology that combined a living tzur with an qipat firewasp in a large shell, providing a Yuuzhn Vong warrior with a way of creating a smoke screen. Inside the shell of the tzur'qipat, the tzur was held in a bucket of salt water, without food. Attached to the top of the shell was the qipat firewasp, held in a blister of nutrients. The body chemistry of the qipat had been altered so that it was incompatible with that of the tzur. When the top of the shell was rapped with a Yuuzhan Vong's knuckles, the qipat was awakened. At the command "yuth ugh', the qipat was released from its blister. The starved tzur immediately consumed it, not realizing that the qipat was actually poisonous. The resulting chemical mixture consumed both creatures, as well as the salt water and the inner surface of the shell, creating a thick smoke which billowed out from the shell. The smoke was noxious to breath and incredibly dense, and Yuuzhan Vong who worked with a tzur'qipat had to wear kavaaviks to see and gnullith breathers to get fresh air. (GMR8) |
