Its central body was a flat disk, and several steel tentacles hung from its body. The droid was the result of Doctor Len's experiments into creating a droid which could reprogram itself, and could eventually manage the huge, multi-faceted systems of space stations. After Doctor Len hired Doctor Vreen to help complete X0-X1's artificial intelligence routines, Vreen stole X0-X1 in an effort to sell its incredible technology to the Empire. Vreen reprogammed X0-X1 to take control of Cloud City, turning it into a floating weapons platform. However, X0-X1's functional stability was weakened by its new programming, and the droid suddenly started working toward its own goals. After Vreen installed X0-X1 in the central computer core of Cloud City, X0-X1 developed evolution droids to help turn the organic population of Cloud City into metal-based automata to do its bidding. X0-X1 then started planning the conquest of the known galaxy, suddenly seeing itself as the mastermind behind a more evolved form of life. X0-X1 quickly took control of Cloud City's droid population, then set to work distributing evolution droids and transforming the city's organic population. Before X0-X1 could complete its takeover, though, Vreen turned to a group of Alliance agents and soon confronted X0-X1. In a desparate act, Walex Blissex shut down all power to Cloud City, effectively turning X0-X1 off as well. This shut off power to Cloud City's huge B/1 repulsorlift engines, and the city began to fall. Luckily, the Alliance team was able to dismantle X0-X1 before the city fell into Bespin's core. (CCC) X-1 this was the codename given by Myk Bidlor to the poison used to kill Aruk the Hutt. Bidlor discovered that it was produced by the Malkite Poisoners, and was created from the stamen of a plant which grew on a planet known only to the Malkites. This made the drug prohibitively expensive, which led Durga to believe that clan Desilijic was behind its use. Large doses of X-1 were immediately fatal, but small doses create a dependence which can be deadly if the substance is withdrawn. (RD) X-1 Viper Automadon this bipedal war droid was produced on Balmorra from the various war machine technologies "borrowed" from the Empire. Each of these droids stood about 3 meters tall, and was equipped with 2 pincer arms, 2 laser cannons, and a pair of boosted blaster cannon arms. They had a unique molecular shielding which allows them to absorb the energy fired at them and convert it into ready power for its own weapons systems. The X-1 was designed to be supervised during combat, and were equipped with manual overrides to shut them down in case of a ceasefire. (DE2, EGD) X10 this Corporate Sector Authority groundcruiser was used to patrol dense areas and keep the peace. At 6 meters in length, it required a single pilot, and could carry six troops. The X10 was armed with a single heavy blaster cannon. (CSA) X10-D this series of labor droids was designed and manufactured by the Trandoshan race, for use aboard their starships and at their starports. They were slightly taller than a normal Trandoshan, with a conical torso, powerful arms, and roller-treaded feet. (E1A4) X10-D this is a model of droid computer brain often used to control starships. Bossk used one to control the Hound's Tooth. (EGV, CCG4) X10-D this bronze- and red-colored labor droid was used by Bossk to perform menial labor aboard the Hound's Tooth. Roughly Trandoshan in size and shape, X10-D received orders and assignments from the central computer Bossk installed on his ship. It had retractable piston arms, a conical torso, and a roller tread for locomotion. (TBH) X14 this was the codename of the New Republic spy who kept an eye out for Sate Pestage on the planet Ciutric. He was part of the Republic's Commando Team One, serving under Kapp Dendo. (XWMR) X1-Lioness Droid this was the brand name of Industrial Automaton's TDL nanny droid. (SWJ14, JASB) x2-100 this Sund laser cannon was popular among criminal and outlaw organizations, because it was cheap as well as powerful. The Alliance used them to arm their T-47 airspeeders, most notably those at the Echo Base on Hoth. (CCG3) X-222 an outdated, high-altitude fighter used by Grigmin in his travelling airshow. They are often referred to as 'triple-deuces.' (HSL) X-23 StarWorker a space barge designed by Incom, it has a modular shape and Incom sublight engines attached to its cargo hold. It measured 38 meters in length, and can hold 2,000 cubic meters of cargo with a maximum mass of 5,000 metric tons. They have no weapons systems, and no shielding. They require only 2 crewmen to run, plus a fifth-degree labor droid. (DA, SWSB) X2-4 this was the largest city established by the droids which controlled the moon of Uffel. Most of the major automaton manufacturing centers were located in X2-4 during the last years of the Old Republic. Uffel's only spaceport was also located in X2-4. (LFC) X-26 StarHaul this was a space barge developed by Incom as a larger version of the X-23 StarWorker. The X-26 was 55 meters long, could transport up to 5,000 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a laser cannon. It was crewed by a pilot and co-pilot, along with an asrtomech droid. (FOP, POM) X-2B this Imperial code described Terpfen while he was a organic implant research subject. (JASB) X-3 Skid this repulsorsled was used by mineral and ore prospectors to transport their findings to the nearest appraiser. (POT) X-30 Lancer this was a model of sporting blaster produced by SoroSuub. It was originally developed as a way to greatly increase the concentration of the blaster bolt to extend the weapon's firepower and range. Because of its light weight and long range, the X-30 was popular among hunters and assassins. Its many improvements served as the basis for theX-45 sniper rifle. (AEG) X-34 a personal-use SoroSuub landspeeder measuring about 3.4 meters in length, the X-34 was produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. It had a flat, oval-shaped hull, and was powered by a rear-mounted repuslorfield generator aided by three turbine engines. Two engines were mounted on each side, and one was mounted on the rear deck, and this configuration gave the speeder a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour. The X-34 could transport a pilot and one passenger, although two droids could be tied down on the rear deck. The X-34 had a retractable duraplex windscreen, and was controlled by a steering wheel and foot pedals. Because of the speeder's top speed, the X-34 was popular among the youth of the galaxy. (CCG, EGV, SWRPG2, NEGV) X34 Landspeeder see X-34 (GQRG) X3D-IO this specialized protocal droid was programmed for systems administration and formal etiquette. This silver-plated droid was obedient to a fault, and was the normal traits of aloofness and deference common to protocol droids. (RESB) x41 a Corellian Engineering Corporation maneuvering thruster. (EGV) X-45 this was the designation of SoroSuub's military sniper rifle, produced during the New Order. The X-45 was an attempt to have a pwoerful weapon which also had greater accuracy over longer distances. The energy beam it produced was overfocused in the barrle, making it thinner but also more lethal. The X-45 was originally marketed as a civilian weapon known as the Riflette, but most of its sales came from assassins and bounty hunters. Thus, it was re-classified as a military weapon and designated the X-45. (GUN, AEG) X45 Sniper Riflette this small, easily-concealed sniper weapon was produced during the last years of the Old Republic. (YDR) X46-7 Ore Carrier this outdated Damorian Manufacturing starship was designed to transport raw ore to refineries. It measured 175 meters in length, and required a crew of 20. It could transport up to 8 passengers and 5,000 metric tons of cargo. (OE) X5 this was another designation of the T-65XJ model of the X-Wing starfighter. (EVC) X5 Malgon Armor this form od protective armor was originally developed for use by individuals who had to work in areas where fires were a threat. The X5 Malgon armor was equipped with an onboard supply of fire-retardant chemicals, which could be expelled through a series of small nozzles, providing an added measure of protection against fires. The development of the X5 was halted by the Empire, but no official explanation was ever given. (GUN) X-7 Factory Station a 500-meter long orbital station designed to allow manufacturing in space. They are fairly well-armed, with multiple turbolaser batteries and two warhead launchers. It is also well-shielded, with 200 SBD shields and a 100-RU hull. The station is constructed from a central spire topped with living quarters and operational labs. Attached to this central spire are 4 storage/laboratory modules. (TIE) X-70 this is the designation of a computer system developed after the Battle of Endor. It wasn't very powerful or useful. (POT) X-7a this was a large repulsorlift engine developed by Merr-Sonn, for use on the MobileMortar-3 weapons platform. (EGW) X7T-PLX this Imperial military regulation forbade the operation of military equipment by beings under the influence of intoxicants. Punishments for those discovered to be operating under the influence were documented in Sub-section 8.2.1355 of Volume 6 of The Imperial Military Guide to Correct Thought. (FC) X-80 this is the designation of a SoroSuub high-definition video monitor. It was extremely large in size. (POT) X-80 Power Cells used by the Empire on specially-modified AT-ATs, X-80 power cells create laser blasts that are incredibly hot, incinerating anything they don't destroy outright. (DE2) Xa Fel a planet in the Kanchen sector, taken by Thrawn prior to the Battle of Bilbringi. It served as one of Kuat Drive Yards' hyperdrive manufacturing centers. The manufacturing facilities are the primary focus of the planet's economy, to the point that they used up all the planet's natural resources and left it badly polluted. The natives of the planet were also called Xa Fel, and were virtually enslaved by KDY. (TLC, IJ, TTSB) Xa Fel this near-human race was native to the planet of the same name. A primitive species by galactic standards, the Xa Fel were farmers and hunters before Kuat Drive Yards took control of the planet. In almost no time, manufacturing complexes took over the landscape, and the Xa Fel were powerless to stop it. They were virtually enslaved by KDY as laborers, and a number of genetic mutations caused by the polluted environment drew them away from the mainline human stock. Because of this contamination, the average lifespan of the Xa Fel dropped from 120 years to just 50 years. When the New Republic took control of the planet shortly after the Battle of Endor, it ordered KDY to begin a massive clean-up effort that would allow the Xa Fel to return to their previous life. The attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn halted this effort temporarily. (TTSB, AE) XA-540 this was a series of secretary droids produced by Opti-Prime during the early years of the New Order. These droids found widespread use in the Corporate Sector, and the XA-540 series was considered one of the most successful lines of business droids ever produced. They were promoted as "a unit capable of handling all your administrative needs quietly, competently, and with unswerving loyalty." It was rumored that Industrial Automaton tried to acquire several models of the XA-540 on the black market, in an effort to reverse-engineer their own kockoff version of the XA-540. (FTD) XA7 this was a small repulsorlift engine developed by Merr-Sonn, for use on the MobileMortar-3 weapons platform. (EGW) Xabar this purple-colored fungus was native to the planet Xagobah. Distinguished by the mass of red-tipped tentacles at its base, the xabar fungus was avoided by the Xamsters because of its natural poison. When a being or creature was stung by one of the tentacles, they experienced a temporary paralysis that allowed the xabar to begin consuming them. The paralysis was not permanent, and many Xamsters made full recoveries after being stung. Wat Tambor, however, genetically altered several xabar varieties during the height of the Clone Wars, creating a deadlier variety of xabar that caused intense pain and deep paralysis. (BF5) Xachihik Broth this is a thick stew made by Wookiees, and is composed of meat, herbs, and spices. (RD) Xaczik this Wookiee dialect is a tribal language spoken by the natives of the Wartaki Islands. It was used by the Wookiees who resisted Imperial subjugation of Kashyyyk as a code language. (RD) Xad this Falleen aristocrat left his homeworld to take a pilgrimage and find out more about the rest of the galaxy. He was decidedly unlike other Falleen males, with an innate curiosity about other lifeforms. Despite his soft-hearted nature, Xad was known as a strong warrior and cold-blooded predator who was loyal to his friends. Xad was approached by Dhas Vedij and offered a chance to serve on the crew of the Far Orbit, shortly after Vedij defected from Imperial service. (FOP) Xagobah tihs planet was located in the Mid Rim, just inside the border with the Outer Rim Territories, and was the homeworld of the Xamster race. From space, Xagobah appeared to be a cloud-covered world that was shrouded in purplish mists. This was caused by the incredible amount of spores and pollen found in its atmosphere, giving off by all manner of trees and fungus. While much of the spore material was harmless, there were several varieties that caused illenss to most humanoid species. Thus, a breath mask was recommended for most off-world visitors. The fungi that produced these billions of spores were found in a variety of forms, including several carnivorous varieties that could reach out and grab their prey, while the flimmel tree resembled a weird combination of mushroom and spider. Note that the galaxy map inside Star Wars Insider, issue 65 shows Xagobah in the Outer Rim, near the border with the Mid Rim. (IWE1, SWDB, SWI65, BF5) Xakrea a major city located on the planet Darkknell. (TFNR) Xal 3 this planet was located in the Ablajeck Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9) Xalis, N'tain this man was an Alliance agent during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, and served as the leader of Sandwind Team. (AIR) Xamaural it was rumored that this Imperial Star Destroyer recovered Darth Vader's TIE Fighter shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (T16) Xamster this race of purple-skinned, bat-like reptiloids was native to the planet Xagobah. Many Xamsters were killed during the Clone Wars, when the Army of the Republic laid siege to the Mazariyan fortress, in an effort to capture Wat Tambor. (SWDB, BF5) Xan an alien race native to the planet Algara II, the Xan are hairless, think humanoids with bulbous heads and large eyes. They have pale skin which can range in color from green to yellow to pinks. They show no emotion, for their faces lack the muscle structure to do so. The Xan cannot tolerate cold temperatures. The average Xan lives to be 80 years old, and females reach sexual maturity shortly after their twentieth birthday. All Xan are births were single-offspring. Most Xan are worker drones, and virtually all aspects of Xan society were regulated by the human settlers of Algara II. Xan culture was virtually wiped out, and most modern Xan know almost nothing about their species' history. The Algarans went so far as to prohibit the Xan from leaving the planet, for fear that the Xan would spread the truth about their oppression at the hands of the human settlers. (PG2, AE) Xan, Ilena this woman was one of the few Jedi Masters who remained on Coruscant during the Clone Wars, staying at the Jedi Temple as a teacher and instructor in the martial arts. Master Xan was known for her knowledge of melee combat, especially joint locks and holds that could render any opponent almost unable to move. Because of this, she earned the nickname Iron Hand, a monicker she gladly accepted. Master Xan was a close friend of Jai Maruk, and was one of many Jedi who were gravely concerned when he returned from Vjun with a communique from Count Dooku. (YDR) Xana Exotic Arms this weapons manufacturer created some of the galaxy's most exotic and unusual weapons, including the MSW-9 molecular stiletto. The company's executives worked exceptionally hard to ensure their anonymity, hiding behind a dense maze of false names and holding companies. This ensured that their operations continued unabated, despite the highly illegal nature of some of their wepaons. (ROE, GFT, AEG) Xanai Sowan this female Twi'lek was one of the smugglers who worked for Grov Bricker aboard the Mourning Glory during the height of the New Order. She served as the ship's primary engineer, and many of the ship's crew considered Bricker and Sowan to be lovers. (PH) Xanas City this city was under Imperial control during the Galactic Civil War, and the 656th Regiment was garrisoned there to ensure control. (HR) Xanatos this boy, with midnight blue eyes and jet black hair, was a native of the planet Telos, was born into wealth and ease. His father, Crion, was the richest man on the planet. However, Crion could not provide what Xanatos wanted most: to become a Jedi Knight. Xanatos was strong with the Force, strong enough to attract the attention of Qui-Gon Jinn. The Jedi Master came to Telos and requested that Xanatos return with him to Coruscant for training. Crion agreed, and Xanatos was transported across the galaxy. He trained under the best masters, and eventually Qui-Gon took the youth as his second Padawan learner. However, Xanatos was quick to flaunt his wealth and position while in the Jedi Temple, and constantly used his "power" to impress those "less fortunate" classmates. Xanatos was also quick to anger, and responded poorly when the jibes were directed at himself. All these traits Qui-Gon strove to overlook, since he felt that Xanatos was a great student and would someday grow into a great Jedi Knight. The Jedi Council wasn't so sure, and continually pressed Qui-Gon to evaluate Xanatos' progress. Shortly before Xanatos ready ready to take the tests which could elevate him to the status of Jedi Knight, Master Yoda sent them both on a mission to Telos. No specifics were given on the mission, and both assumed that the purpose would be revealed when they arrived. However, what they found was a planet engulfed in turmoil. Crion had been secretly making plans to attack a neighboring planet, and when he learned that his son had returned, he drew Xanatos into his plans. Together they plotted their attack whle keeping Qui-Gon in the dark. However, the Jedi Master discovered their schemes and threatened to expose them. His attempt to gain popular support against them backfired, igniting a civil war between the factions of government on Telos. In the battle, Qui-Gon was forced to kill Crion in a duel, slicing off the fingers on one hand before dispatching Crion. Xanatos, seeing his teacher kill his father, vowed to exact revenge on the Jedi. He took the ring from his father's finger and touched to his cheek. The hot metal left a crescent-shaped scar, which Xanatos used as a reminder of Qui-Gon's seeming treachery. Xanatos fled, and Qui-Gon told the Jedi Council he had been killed in the fighting. Years later, Xanatos reappeared on Bandomeer, having taken control of the leadership of Offworld Mining Company through deceit and conspiracy. He claimed to be all for bringing about a peace between Offworld and the Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation, but he secretly hoped to eliminate Arcona and take Bandomeer's ionite mines for himself. Again he was thwarted by Qui-Gon, this time with the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi. They defeated Xanatos' plans, but were unable to capture the rogue. Xanatos escaped again, and fled into hiding. Xanatos returned to Telos, where he began planning to stripmine the planet in order to obtain a wealth of credits. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were forced to tack him to Telos, and exposed his parts in the game of Katharsis and his manipulation of the UniFy corporation. Despite overwhelming support for Xanatos, the Jedi were able to expose his plans and defeat Xanatos in combat. Unwilling to be captured alive, Xanatos took his own life by jumping into the acidic pools of toxic waste he had created at the Sacred Pools of Telos. (DR, RF, IG1, DOR) Xanatos Institute for Healing one of the many organizations funded by the former Jedi Knight Xanatos, during his attempts to gain favor with the natives of Telos. Xanatos funded a great number of humanitarian causes, in an effort to mask his plans to stripmine Telos and take the profits for himself. (DOR) Xand this was a common name among the Falleen. (UANT) Xandil VII this planet was the site of a vast hunting preserve during the height of the New Order. Many Imperial officers and governors traveled to hunt in the planet's equatorial reserves.

Popular rumor held that Solo turned Brother Xando down, claiming he was a fanatic, just before accepting Obi-Wan Kenobi's offer of 17,000 credits for passage to Alderaan. (T14) Xanlanner System this star system was located near the Uziel System. (JQ7) Xant Flashheel this quick-tmepered, clanless Nosaurian lived in the Drifter's District of Phemiss, on his homeworld of New Plympto, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Xant often made a few credits serving as a swoopshaw driver, but claimed to anyone who would listen that he was a capable guide, claiming he could lead adventurers deep into the hiakk forests on safaris. (CCW) Xantha this Gorothite instrument combined the elements of a 24-string lute and a bassoon into a single instrument.

(GSE) Xappyh Sector Jorus C'baoth was the Ambassador-at-Large for this sector during the Old Republic. (DFR) Xarnin Medical Technologies this corporation produced a variety of medical devices for use in immobilizing broken limbs. (FOP) Xarran, Gaege this man was a General in the Imperal armed forces, in command of the garrison on the planet Vryssa during the early years of the New Republic. He began his career as one of Emperor Palpatine's royal guards. He loved his brother, Rivo, with a deep devotion, despite the fact that Rivo was only good for drinking, gambling, and getting into trouble. When Rivo fled from Boba Fett - who had been contracted to recover Rivo for the theft of information from Jabba the Hutt - Gaege tried to protect him behind the defenses of his garrison. Unfortunately, Xarran's troops were no match for the bounty hunter. Fett eliminated AT-AT walkers and the garrison's death fence before reaching the main compound. Xarran, faced without an option, set the self-destruct sequence for the base. He then set out to kill Fett himself. Gaege nearly succeeded, catching Fett while the hunter was too intent on finding Rivo. However, Fett recovered from his carelessness and lured Gaege into a trap. At the last minute, Fett fired off his rocket pack, leaving Gaege alone and in close proximity to a bomb. The detonation killed Gaege instantly. (TFNR) Xarran, Rivo the mentally unstable brother of Gaege Xarran, Rivo was wanted by the Hutts for slicing into the computer records of Jabba the Hutt and stealing a great deal of sensitive information. He then sold it to one of Jabba's competitors for a vast sum of credits. Rivo claimed that he accidentally got into Jabba's records, and then greed overcame him. Rivo was best known for his ability to drink, gamble, and get into trouble. Jabba exclusively contracted Boba Fett to recover him from Gaege's garrison, but the bounty hunter was unable to capture him. Rivo extracted the microscopic tracers implanted in his body and led Fett on a chase. He then confronted Fett, after the bounty hunter had killed his brother Gaege, although from a distance using a portable holo-projector. He told Fett that Gaege had set the self-destruct for the garrison, and then calmly bargained for his life. Fett agreed to tell Jabba the Rivo had died in the explosion, in exchange for Fett allowing him to leave. Faced with death if he tried to catch Rivo, Fett agreed. Rivo then fled to Ladarra, hiding out for years until Boba Fett finally caught him years after the death of Jabba. Instead of killing Rivo - now known as the Storyteller to the children of New Hope Settlement - Fett flipped him a credit chip equal in value to the bounty on Rivo's head and left. (TFNR) Xarrce Huwla this Tunroth joined Rogue Squadron shortly before the Battle of Brentaal, although she immediately requested a transfer out of the squadron. She was concerned with the high mortality rate of its pilots, but Wedge Antilles was unable to move her immediately. A veteran of over twenty missions before she joined the Rogues, Xarrce put her skills to their best use while awaiting transfer. She flew several missions for the Rogues during the Battle of Brentaal, and made a number of friends within the squadron. After the battle was over and the Rogues had a chance to relax, Xarrce withdrew her request for transfer and remained with the Rogues. (XWES, HXW) Xartun one of the planets visted by the Night Caller shortly before it was captured by Wraith Squadron near Xobome 6. Despite the fact that Xartun was under the control of Imperial warlord Zsinj, Xartun applied for admission into the New Republic. Zsinj had been planning to set up a duplicate of the bio-engineering lab run by Binring Biomedical on Saffalore, but the intervention of Wraith Squadron put an end to that plan. Xartun had two suns. (WS, SOC) Xarxis an Alliance shuttle group destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) Xathan this tall, reptilian humanoid was a Doctor of xenoarchaeology during the height of the New Order. Doctor Xathan and his assistant, Fem Nu-Ar, were hired by the Empire to locate the planet Seoul 5. When their research led the Imperial to the correct planet, both of them were bound and imprisoned beneath the planet's surface. Only the timely appearance of Han Solo allowed them to get free. (MC84) Xavar this being was one of the many Kooroo mystics who were active during the early years of the New Republic. When a group of prisoners escaped from the facilities on Delrian, Xavar was among the many beings who were brought in to help handle the crisis. (GCG) Xaverri an accomplished illusionist, Xaverri often performed at the Chance Castle on Nar Shaddaa. It was here that she met Han Solo during his early smuggling days. They developed a romantic relationship, and shared a number of adventures outrunning the early Imperial police forces. Xaverri is a tall human female with curly black hair. Before becoming a magician, Xaverri was married and had a small family. She was quite happy in this life until the Empire killed her husband and children in an unexplained assault. Xaverri struck out on her own, always looking for a way to hurt the Empire. This got her onto several systems' wanted lists, so she kept moving and performing. Her reckless and adventuresome nature gave way to vengeance following the Battle of Endor, when she turned to hunting down the remaining Imperial officers and dispatching them. When she encountered the goings-on at Crseih Station, she sent coded messages to Han in an effort to get the New Republic to establish a presence at the station and eliminate the Imperial forces gathering there. (CS, THG) Xaza IV this planet was known for the exquisite, oil-burning chandeliers produced by its artisans. (SESB) X-ball this Ugly is created from the spherical cockpit of a TIE Fighter linked to the S-foils and wings of an X-Wing.

(KT) X-C 2 this was the designation of an experimental, high-output ion array developed for use as a sublight drive by Sienar Design Systems. It first saw use in Darth Maul's Infiltrator starship. (X1, IG1) XC-01 this was the model number of the Star Saber figther, produced by Republic Fleet Systems during the height of the Great Sith War. Testing of the 6.75-meter-long craft showed that it lacked maneuverability, a problem exposed by the swift chaos fighters of the Krath. Each XC-01 was armed with a pair of heavy blaster cannons, and this lack of firepower also hurt the ship's record in combat. After several defeats in which Krath chaos fighters scored decisive victories over the Jedi Knights, the XC-01 was shelved in favor of more maneuverable, better-armed ships. (PJSB) XC2-series Droid Cybot Galactica's administrative droids. (GG9) X'Cal this mythological beast was found in Ukian legends. Its appearance signified the planet's destruction was at hand.

The Xciter excites the molecules of gas and moves them into the Actuating Blaster Module. (CFG) XDL-67 this former cooking droid was owned by Ramsey Lanclo, who modified the droid extensively for use as a co-pilot aboard the Chicanery. Roughly humanoid in stature, XDL-67 had a knack for remembering obscure details about everyone it met. XDL-67 once saved Lanclo from a prison sentence on Kessel, when the Chicanery was boarded by Imperial Customs officer Hewat. Lanclo had been transporting Rybettian Shac to Moruth Doole, and Agent Hewat hoped to catch Lanclo in the act and gain a clue as to Doole's activities. XDL-67 suggested that Hewat take Lanclo's pet keon as a gift to her daughter, thereby deflecting Hewat's investigation and allowing them to go free. (FTD) X-Drone this was the supposed code-name of a highly-modified version of the Z-95 Headhunter, produced by the Empire on Fresia after it nationalized Incom Industries. The X-Drone was a droid-piloted craft, capable of acting without an organic pilot. No evidence of the X-Drone's existence was ever found. (CCW) Xel Tanni this was the name of a noted Omwati, distinguished in the histories of the planet Omwat. (UANT) Xelbree this alien was one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots. During the famous Boonta Eve Classic which was won by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker, Xelbree was killed when his pod exploded in a ball of flame. The explosion was the result of an illegal maneuver by Sebulba, who fired a small flame weapon at Xelbree's engine fuel cells. (TPM) Xellwood the wood from this tree, native to the planet Ansion, was distinguished by its wonderful purplish color. (APS) Xelric Draw this widemouthed canyon, located between Mochot Steep and the Dune Sea, split the Mospic High Range as it meandered across the desert of Tatooine. It was a shallow canyon, and was easily navigable by landspeeder. (TPM) Xemir, Katiz this man was a settler on a remote colony world which was subjugated by the Empire. His family was summarily executed when he refused to move them offworld. He avoided death, and fled to the Outer Rim. There, he decided that one day he would join the Alliance, but until that time, he served as a pirate on any crew that would hire him. He was approached by Dhas Vedij and offered a chance to serve on the crew of the Far Orbit, after Vedij defected from Imperial service. (FOP) Xemlorn this xeno-biologist was the only known scientist to witness the danchaf actually using tools or language. In his work, Lesser-known Sentients, Volume 3, Xemlorn documented the abilities of the danchaf, which had only been hinted at by the Jenet. (COG) Xend a planet. (COG) Xendor this ancient Kashi Mer was exiled from his homeworld when he began using the teras kasi martial arts for evil by combining them with the Dark Side of the Force. As a Jedi and a Kashi Mer, Xendor developed a large following, often referred to as the Minions of Xendor, whose ranks included the warrior Arden Lyn. Xendor was killed by the Jedi Knights, shortly after the First Great Schism split the Jedi apart. (RD, GMR5) Xendor's Minions this mythical group was often referred to by Falan Iniro, as an exclamatory remark whenever he was surprised. It referred to those beings who supported the ancient Kashi Mer exile, Xendor, during the First Great Schism. See also Minions of Xendor. (THG, GMR5) Xeno Corran Horn's R2 unit, Whistler, used this nickname to rouse support for the resistance on Garqi.

The corporation catered to the needs of many Imperial leaders, who liked to keep exotic pets as status symbols. As the Empire crumbled in the wake of the Battle of Endor, Xenovet began to work on breeding programs which would restore endangered species to their native worlds. However, as the New Republic struggled to rebuild worlds for sentient species, Xenovet's activites took a back-seat and the corporation eventually went out of business.

His band spent much of its time attacking Imperial supply ships, both during the Galactic Civil War and into the era of the New Republic. They were quite successful during the early years of the New Republic, as the Republic spent its time tracking down the remnants of the Empire and turning a blind eye to piracy. However, after the negotiated peace between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic, Xhaxin found the pickings growing slimmer and slimmer. He was forced to being arranging for travel of supply ships himself, advising them to fly along spacelanes that his pirates regularly patrolled. While making trying to ambush a convoy near Bastion, the Free Lance encountered a Yuuzhan Vong warship and was nearly destroyed. Xhaxin and his crew made a blind jump into hyperspace to escape, and were forced to obtain aid from the Republic. In turn, Xhaxin relayed the information of the Yuuzhan Vong attack. His left hand was a cyberneic prosthesis, required to repair an old injury. He was known by the nickname of Grayclaw, a reference to the gray bantha-hide glove he used to cover the prosthesis. (DTO, PP) Xi this group of cargo ships was discovered by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The starship Stimsenj'kat assisted in recovering their contents. (XW) Xi Char this quasi-religious sect was known for their highly-precise engineering. Based on the planet Charros IV, their fanatical attention to details allowed them to create some of the most sophisticated equipment in the galaxy, including the Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid starfighter used by the Neimoidian Trade Federation. The Xi Char jealously guarded their secrets, and when they discovered that Raith Sienar had infiltrated their ranks to learn their secrets, they put out a bounty on his head. Sienar was never captured, however, but the Xi Charrians did managed to kill Narro Sienar in the process. The defection of Raith Sienar forced the Xi Char order to close its doors to offworlders, and thus the name Xi Char became synonymous with Xi Charrians. Years later, they were the perfect pawns for the Trade Federation, as the Xi Char order cared only for the details of their engineering, not its ultimate use. After the Old Republic learned that the Xi Char order had developed the vulture droids used by the Federation during the Battle of Naboo, they were severely punished by the Old Republic. The anger felt by the Xi Char order was only compounded when the Confederacy of Independent Systems reverse-engineered their technologies during the build-up to the Clone Wars, and began manufacturing them on other worlds. In order to atone for their past actions and restore their technological creations, the Xi Charrians agreed to help the Old Republic in any way they could. (X1, OWS, NEGC, LEV) Xi Char Cathedral this was the primary manufacturing facility of the Xi Char order, located on the Xi Charrian homeworld of Charros IV. (SWDB, LEV) Xi Charrian this was a race of highly-precise aliens which was native to Charros IV, although the name was also synonymous with of the devout followers of the Xi Char order. Individual Xi Charrians were insectile in appearance, with chitin-plated bodies, teardrop-shaped heads, and quartets of pointed legs that ended with scissor-like feet. Those beings who were in contact with the Xi Charrians said that they resembled the walking form of the vulture droid starfighters they produced for the Trade Federation. The Xi Charrians were capable of creating incredibly complex, yet fully functional pieces of engineering. They developed through the Xi Char order until their are ready to move on to the next plane, when they become employed by the Hoar Chall Engineering conglomerate. Individual Xi Charrians were meticulous about the details of their work, a trait that carried over to their own physical appearance. An injured Xi Charrian often went into a self-imposed exile, so that his associates wouldn't have to view is imperfections. A saying among the Xi Charrians read, "The deity is in the details." A naturally peaceful race, the Xi Charrians were surprised and angry when the Old Republic chastised them for their role in the Battle of Naboo, where the vulture droid was first used in combat. When the Trade Federation turned over the manufacture of the vulture droid and other Xi Charrian designs to the corporations of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Xi Charrians decided to try and atone for their past by assisting the Old Republic during the Clone Wars. (X1, OWS, LEV) XI7 Taim and Bak shipboard turbolasers employed by many capital ships. (SCRE) Xiaan this Twi'lek female was trained in the Jedi arts by the noted Anx Jedi Master J'Mikel. When Master J'Mikel was attacked and killed on Coruscant by Aurra sing, Xiann was badly traumatized by the incident and its violence. After Aurra Sing was captued by Aayla Secura, Master J'Mikel's lightsaber was returned to Coruscant.

Their nose is formed from six slits above their mouth, which is framed by a fully-articulated pair of pincers. (GG4, JH) Xiann this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "spider" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG) Xi'Dec an insectile species native to the planet Stic, they have evolved in the ever-changing climate of the planet by modifying their sexes for specific purposes. About 180 unique sexes have been noted in Xi'Dec culture by the Empire, although their history has shown that many more have evolved and died out from lack of need. All of the sexes have unique physical characteristics, depending on their function in society. Each Xi'Dec family is composed of single members from various sexes, and these families form the basis for Xi'Dec society. Families take great pride in the scope of their sexual content, and they go through considerable trouble in attracting rare sexes into the family. Their specialized sexes make certain kinds of Xi'Dec valuable off-world, as geologists, geneticists, and other scientific positions, although their overall technology is only moderately advanced. Tourism is often brisk to Stic, not for the planet's climate or beauty but because of the strange and unusual appearances of the various sexes of Xi'Dec. (GG4) Xijulba this Dug was a member of Sebulba's clan, and worked for Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Mawhonic issued a bounty for his capture, claiming that "all the kin of that dirty Dug Sebulba deserved to fry." Jango Fett managed to claim the bounty during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH) Xim the Despot a legendary, pre-Old Republic tyrant, he grew to power by despoling entire planets, collecting and selling slaves, stranding entire populations in deep space, and collecting enough armaments to support his goals. Xim rulled for about 30 Standard Time Parts (years). His despicable rule became the basis for a number of legends following his defeat at the Third Battle of Vontor. Up to that time, Xim had conquered hundreds of thousands of worlds near the Tion Hegemony, and was planning to expand into Hutt Space. His forces were in the process of transporting a huge shipment to Dellalt when he was killed at Vontor, and his shipment became the basis for most of the legends of the Queen of Ranroon, the ship he was using to transport military materials to Dellalt. When his death was announced, the crew of the Queen of Ranroon scuttled the mission in the mountains of Dellalt, leaving the vaults Xim and built empty and awaiting the arrival of a new despot to take Xim's place. Xim's insignia consisted of a bone-colored death's head with two sunbursts in its eyesockets. (HSE, ECH) Ximology this was the name given to the study of galactic civiliation at the time of Xim the Despot, well before the formation of the Old Republic. (HNN4) Xine this Snivvian word represented the number 10. (HNN5) Xinkra this predator, native to the planet Kushibah, preferred to feed on the flesh of the Kushiban race.

Xinkras were considered fearless beasts, but could be held off with flames or fire. (AQ, PJSB) Xiochi this notorious slavery ring was singlehandedly broken up by Odumin. (CSA) Xishel this self-exiled Falleen was the strongest member of the Nanthri Pirates during the last years of the New Order. He was searching for the lost treasure of Celis Mott, and once employed Marka Durn to locate the treasure. After Durn was able to locate it, Xishel had him executed to protect the secret. Durn, however, hid the location in the databanks of his starship's computer, and turned the ship over to a group of friends. Xishel cornered them, claiming to be working for the Falleen king Haxim, in an effort to recover a trove of treasures stolen from the planet Falleen. The spacers ignored Xishel's threats. (IA) Xiss, Zule this young woman was a student of the Force, and was a Jedi Padawan at the same time Anakin Skywalker was being trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi. She wore clothing that was similar that of her Master, Glaive, who was regarded as the only Jedi Master to ever truly teach her anything about the Jedi way. Together, they were dispatched with Obi-Wan and Anakin to the moon of Ohma-D'un to investigate the loss of a Gungan colony some ten weeks after the Battle of Geonosis. It was feared that the miners who worked the Naboo System had been armed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and had attacked the Gungans in order to secure the moon for the Separatists. Unfortunately, the four Jedi discovered a new form of combat droid had been sent to exterminate the Gungans. The droids were under the command of the bounty hunter Durge, who managed to capture Zule as a hostage. Obi-Wan's sneak attack distracted Durge enough for Zule to break free, but Asajj Ventress arrived and beheaded Master Glaive. Zule repaid Obi-Wan's bravery by distracting Durge when the bounty hunter had Obi-Wan in his sights. Durge managed to pin her to the ground, but Zule grabbed his blasters and fired into his chest at point-blank range. This allowed the two Jedi to escape and chase down Asajj Ventress. In a brief struggle Obi-Wan was able to hold his own, but Zule lost her left arm to Ventress' lightsaber. After Ventress and Durge escaped, Zule was taken back to Coruscant for treatment, and was counseled along with other Padawans who had lost their masters during the Clone Wars. She returned to the battle shortly afterward, after having a cybernetic prosthesis installed to replace her lost arm, and participated in the Battle of Jabiim with many other Padawans. However, the battle went poorly for the Republic's forces, and many Jedi Masters were killed. Zule found herself alone with several other Padawans as the only force capable of stopping Alto Stratus' advance on Republic territory. The Padawans fought bravely for three days, although many of them died in battle. Zule began to slip toward the Dark Side of the Force as the fighting wore on, and nearly fell completely to the Dark Side when an AT-AT walker exploded over her head. She was killed when the walker fell on top of her. (RNFW, RBJ) Xist this immense Falleen was once a killer for Black Sun, before supporting the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. He controlled his operations from a base in New Coronet, on the planet Trigalis. He was known for his skills using a vibrowhip, and many weaponsmasters claimed that his abilities rivaled those of a Jedi Knight with a lightsaber. Shortly before the First Battle of Coruscant, Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that Xist had been providing weapons and intelligence to the Separatists in the Outer Rim, and set out to stop him. He hoped to gain information on the whereabouts of Asajj Ventress, who seemed to have escaped her apparent death on Coruscant. The Jedi Council feared that Obi-Wan was too tired from the battles of the Clone Wars to fight Xist, and dispatched Master Aayla Secura to assist him. Obi-Wan shrugged off her help, and defeated Xist in one-on-one combat before the Falleen agreed to tell him everything he knew. Despite his alliances, Xist relayed information that Dooku was dispatched his "best assassin" to eliminate Drama Korr, one of Xist's business associates. When Obi-Wan reached Korr's ship and discovered that it was not Ventress, but Durge, who had been sent to kill Korr, he realized that Xist had set him up to die as part of Dooku's elaborate plans. (O) Xiunsrus this planet is located in the Quence Sector. It was the base of operations for the Bloodsniffers swoop gang. (GG9) Xiytiar-class Transport this 164.8-meter cargo ship was capable of moving 5,000 metric tons of cargo. They were manned by a crew of two, and could carry 12 additional passengers. This class of transport had a thin, cylindrical shape highlighted by the bulbous front cargo section and the smaller, rearward engine pod. Note that X-Wing: Iron Fist claims the forward section was blocky in shape. Many pilots considered them the least elegant of any starship every designed for use. (DESB, IF) Xizor the Falleen crimelord who taught Durga the Hutt, at one time he employed Ket Maliss as a bounty hunter. Xizor was the son of a local Falleen king, and grew up to power and riches. Some years before the Battle of Hoth, Darth Vader killed much of Xizor's family on Falleen, when a military bacterium got loose and started killing the Falleen. Rather than risk an outbreak, Vader had his starships raze an entire city and its environs, including nearly two hundred thousand Falleen. Xizor lost his parents, a brother and two sisters, and three uncles in the destruction. He held a grudge against Vader ever since, and used his Black Sun contacts to wipe out the Imperial records of the deaths. This assured Xizor that no one but he knew of Vader's hand in the deaths. This deletion was incomplete, for one of Vader's information specialists discovered it just before the Battle of Endor. Xizor built an opulent palace on Coruscant as a base from which he could command Black Sun. Xizor was not an exercise fanatic, but he kept his body in perfect condition through the use of implanted stim units. His natural Falleen ability to exude attractive pheromones allowed him to attract whichever females he wished, and he had many mistresses. When he tired of one, he paid her off and moved onto the next. He rarely left his Coruscant palace, and used its proximity to the Imperial Palace to eventually became a favored associated of Emperor Palpatine. When he did leave the planet, it was in the presence of a muted but deadly security detail. During much of his plotting with the Emperor, Xizor worked through the middleman Kud'ar Mub'at, using the assembler's services to help mask his own. It was Xizor, with the permission of Palpatine, who worked with Mub'at to bring about the destruction of the Bounty Hunters Guild. Xizor hoped to create a supply of freelance assassins who could work for the Empire. This plan failed when the Guild simply split into two warring factions. However, Xizor continued to scheme. Xizor's legal and criminal operations made him the third most-powerful being in the galaxy, behind Palpatine and Vader, but Xizor was not ready to remain there. At one time, he tried to wrest control of Kuat Drive Yards from Kuat of Kuat, but was unable to do so. He knew he could never hold Palpatine's seat, so he strove to usurp Vader's position. He was obliging to every Imperial demand, and made his legitimate shipping operations available to Palpatine. Xizor gained favor quickly, and was present on Coruscant when Palpatine first contacted Darth Vader about apprehending Luke Skywalker. Xizor realized that Vader and the Emperor wanted Luke alive, and so he set in motion a plan to kill Luke before Vader could bring him before the Emperor. This would discredit Vader in the Emperor's eyes, and move Xizor into position as the second most powerful being in the galaxy. His plan nearly succeeded, until he tried to use Leia Organa as bait to lure Luke to Coruscant. Luke and Lando Calrissian succeeded in rescuing Leia, but were intercepted by Xizor's fleet as they tried to jump into hyperspace. A firefight ensued, and caught the attention of Vader's fleet. Vader had realized Xizor's plans, and took the opportunity to eliminate Xizor. Vader's ships began firing on Xizor's ship, providing an escape route for Luke and Leia. When Xizor failed to recall his ships, Vader fired on Xizor'z skyhook, Falleen's Fist, destroying it and killing Xizor. (DS, CCG, SE, MA, SLS, HM) Xizor Transport Systems this cargo hauling operation was one of Prince Xizor's many legal operations, and was prosperous enough to make him incredibly wealthy on its own. The fact that much of the capital raised to keep XTS operative came from Xizor's illegal operations was not on the public record. (SE) XJ3-23 this was the designation of Jaina Solo's XJ3 starfighter, during the years that the Galactic Alliance maintained its base of operations on Calamari.

(DE1) XL-5 one model of the Guardian-class patrol ship. (DE1) Xloff Horn this was a small, flat horn used as a musical instrument. (VD) XM-15 this was the model number of Arakyd Industries' Vindicator missile. Referred to as a "brilliant" missile, the XM-15 had a sophisticated central processor that bordered on having artificial intelligence. The Coalition of Automaton Rights Activists even protested the development and production of the XM-15, saying that it was "far beyond a mindless battle droid…(they were) thinking, feeling sapient entities doomed to an explosive demise, which is nothing short of an abomination." Arakyd denied these accusations, even after the Mechanical Liberation Front tried to "free" a shipment of XM-15's. They bungled the attempt, setting off the missiles' explosives and killing fourteen members of their party. They also destroyed nearly 2,000 square kilometers of Havridam City on New Bakstre. (HNN5) XM-21 Incom's hydro-skiff, it was the design base for the SedriMotors Amphibion. (DESB) Xo this planet is the homeworld of the savage Zanibar race. The planet is bathed in red light, and its surface is studded with rocky outcroppings and groves of spike-leaved, carnivorous plants. Much of its native wildlife is reptilian in form, and each species is just as predatory as the other. It is a forbidding world few othe species have ever visited. Kir Kanos traveled to Xo to rescue Mirith Sinn. Kanos and Sinn discovered a mountainous ruin deep in the jungle, which seemed to predate the Old Republic. Statues of human forms surrounded the ruins, indicating that the Zanibar were not the planet's original inhabitants. (CE2) Xob Olag Greck's Gamorrean henchman on Hosk. (DRO) Xob this was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG) Xobome 6 this uninhabited planet was the outermost world in a system located between Commenor and Doldrums. It had a warm atmosphere, and was surrounded by an asteroid ring.

(KOTOR) Xora this female Falleen was part of a small group which worked for Jib Kopatha, during the height of the New Order. Led by Xora and Zuur, the Falleen saw Kopatha's regular meetings with Darth Vader as a way to kill the Dark Lord, in revenge for his decimation of the Falleen. An unexpected visit shortly after the Battle of Yavin was just the opporunity Xora had been looking for, although Zuur wanted to be careful and act only when the time was right. Xora had her own plans, though, and managed to convince him that they would work. She lured Vader into an auxiliary hangar on Jib Kopatha's asteroid, then tried to shoot Vader dead. The Dark Lord was more than ready for her attack, and deflected her blasts with ease. Zuur and his companions then appeared out of hiding, and tried to launch their attack. Although they had surprise and numbers on their side, the Falleen were not match for Vader. He quickly eliminated them all, putting an end to their chance for revenge. (SWEV) Xorao System Anson Blazer and a team of Alliance agents was nearly killed in this system by Kiran Tatch. (AIR) Xorth System a planetary system subjugated by the Empire, its people were forced to produce agricultural goods for the Empire. The farmers there grew some of the galaxy's best farrberries.

The owner, known simply as Xot, seemed to be any one of a dozen different beings, giving rise to the rumor that he was a shape-changer. (CCW) Xozhixi this was the Vratix name for the capital city of the planet Thyferra. (PH) XP-2000 this was to be Ikas-Adno's premier racing vehicle, designed to operate in swoop races as well as speederbike races. However, production plans were scrapped when tests revealed that the bike placed its rider under too many G-forces. This was due mainly to its incredible speed. The prototype was eventually sold to an anonymous bidder, who turned out ot be Blizz Pinnix. The XP-2000 was categorized as a speederbike, and measured four meters in length. It had a flight ceiling of about 50 meters, and was capable of attaining speeds in excess of 1,300 kilometers an hours. (WSV) XP-291 this SoroSuub skimmer is a flat, bullet-shaped repulsorcraft.

It could fly up to 2 meters off the ground on its repulsorlifts, and travel at speeds near 320 kilometers an hour. It could also be equipped with an autopilot droid that appeared to be an R2 unit, but this was only a decorative covering. SoroSuub promoted the XP-38 as giving the owner "the feel of flying a starfighter." (SW, SWSB, EGV, AEG) XP-38 this fully-armed and shielded freighter was presented to the Cularin government as a gift, from the Metatheran Cartel, many years before the Battle of Naboo. It was custom outfitted for the defense of the planet Cularin, and was presented to the government with the outward aim of helping the natives of Cularin protect themselves. However, several of the teams which toured the ship and were able to evaluate its capabilities discovered a transmitter hidden in one of the weapons turrets. The transmitter's function was unknown, although it was discovered that it was transmitting data to an unspecified source. In the hold of the XP-38, a transportation crate was found with four empty slots that fit the transmitter perfectly. The other three transmitters were never found, but the Cularin government resented the Cartel's attempt to spy on them. After publicly presenting the evidence of the transmitter to the Cartel, the government of Cularin expelled the Cartel from the planet, forbidding them to do any further business there. The representative of the Metatheran Cartel, Thurm Loogg, claimed that the transmitters had been placed aboard the ship by unknown agents based on Tolea Biqua, possibly connected to his predecessor Velin Wir, but no formal investigation was ever launched. His efforts to quell the Cularin government eventually succeeded, after the XP-38 was scoured for other transmitters and deemed "clean" by the Cularin military, which later began using the ship as part of their defense fleet. (WOTC) XP-38 All-Terrain Roughrider this variant on the basic SoroSuub XP-38 was produced with a stronger subframe and enhanced engine protection, for use on rural and backwater worlds. (NEGV) XP-38 Sport see XP-38 (AEG) XP-38A this SoroSuub landspeeder took the basic XP-38 design and modified it for use as a utility vehicle. It retained the XP-38's comfortable appointments, and has an astromech-shaped autopilot. The XP-38A measured 7.8 meters in length. Note that Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina indicates that Luke Skywalker may have owned an XP-38A on Tatooine. (GG7, TME) XP-445-T78Y at the height of the New Order, this was the primary code sequence used by the Elrood Starport Command organization to obtain control of incoming ships for docking. Once downloaded into a ship's navigation computer, the code linked with ground-based navigation and landing systems to automatically bring a ship in safely. (PG3) XPLR-45.934.R.E.25-0003.245 this Imperial Survey Corps datafile documented all known information on the Kuras System. (PG3) XPLR-R originally developed by Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems, this droid was designed to map new hyperspace travel routes and locate planets which could be colonized. However, Arakyd Industries claimed that the XPLR-R was created from their own probe droid designs, which had been stolen by VSIS and used without permission. VSIS placed so much emphasis on maintaining the secrecy of the development of the XPLR-R that they forgot about corporate security. In an effort to put a halt to the XPLR-R's production, Arakyd sent a force of sixty AAD-4 combat droids to shut the facility down. VSIS was absorbed into Arakyd, and the further develoment of the XPLR-R was terminated. (HNN5) XQ2 this was a model of space station built for the Empire. (XWA) X-Q2 known as the Regulator, this Loronar systems patrol cruiser measured 150 meters in length, and was armed with five laser cannons. It required a crew of nine to operate, with 5 gunners to operate the five laser cannons which armed the ship. Like the IPV-1, the X-Q2 was not capable of hyperspace travel. It could transport up to 15 troops and 500 metric tons of cargo. (FOP) XQ4 this Imperial Missile Boat production platform was destroyed by Imperial forces, in an attempt to protect the starfighter's secrets from the Alliance. (TIE) XQ5 V a group of TIE Defender manufacturing platforms controlled by Admiral Zaarin but recovered by the Empire prior to the Battle of Endor. (TIE) XR-10 this was one of Ikas-Adno's speederbikes, and was known as the Shadowhawk. It had a maximum speed of 750 kilometers an hour, and a flight ceiling of 50 meters. (WSV) XR12 this dome-shaped, personal use spacecraft was produced by Bendine during the Old Republic. (IWE1) XR-291 this Imperial patrol ship was stationed at Danuta, protecting the Imperial laboratory in Trid, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (SFE) XR-37 this series of tank droids was produced by Arakyd Industries, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Each was a mobile weapons platforms, and could be outfitted with a variety of blasters and laser cannons. (HNN5) XR-85 the Arakyd tank droid, it is an sentient attack vehicle. Designed by the remnants of the Empire from pirated pathway matrices stolen from the R7 astromech droid, the first droid was finalized during Thrawn's reign of terror against the New Republic. However, the droid was not fully realized until Umak Leth brought the idea before the reborn Emperor Palpatine. He worked with Arakyd to design the tank droid, which measured 32 meters in length, nearly 30 meters in height, and moved about on a pair of treads. Each tank was armed with a heavy particle cannon, two light turbolasers, four twin heavy repeating blasters, and a Golan Arms DF.9 weapons turret mounted on its back. It had a top speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and could travel equally well on land or in water up to fifteen meters deep. Although the XR-85 was highly successful, mass-production of the sentient droid brain was cost-prohibitive. (DE1, DESB, EGV) Xroi designation of one of the Alliance's freighters, used during the Galactic Civil War. (XW) XS3 this Imperial assassin droid was dispatched to execute Hanos Darr and the miners who learned of the location of the Royal Palace of Alderaan in the asteroid rubble of the planet, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He and Zaz Hamiroz discovered that the palace's existence was a ruse to lure Leia Organa to Alderaan, where Darth Vader and a contingent of stormtroopers awaited her. They managed to board the Ithorian herdship Bazaar and get a message to Poliss, warning the Alliance of the deception. XS3 was snt to eliminate the miners before they could transmit their message. (GA) XS-800 a Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design, the XS-800 was a small-scale version of the CR90 corvette which was designed for civilian use. It retained the hammerhead configuration, but measured just 30.2 meters in length. The XS-800 required a pilot and co-pilot to coordinate its operation, and could transport up to eight passengers and 115 metric tons of cargo. In its basic configuration, the XS-800 was armed with a front-mounted double laser cannon. (SS) XT490.6 this Old Republic statute prohibited illegal forms of racing through the industrial and public-works sections of the planet Coruscant. Code XT490.6 specifically forbade garbage pit racing, since it often interferred with the ability to expel deadly waste from Coruscant's surface. (RHD) XT-6 an old-model droid which was produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, it had many functions, including servant and warrior. The mechanisms of the XT-6 were fairly advanced for their day, and were often salvaged for use as prosthetic replacements on humanoids. (TOJ) XTC Module this device, developed by the Kadrillians, handled the routing of all their transmissions. (LAT3) XTF1318 this was Sagoro Autem's personal authorization code, issued to him as required by the Senate Guard. (RHD) X-TIE this common form of Ugly consists of an X-Wing hull mounted with the hexagonal solar panels of a TIE Fighter. (KT) X'Ting this insectile race was once the dominant, sentient race found on the planet Ord Cestus, which they referred to simply as Cestus. Standing nearly two meters in height, the average X'Ting was dsitinguished by its two pairs of arms. One pair was considered the primary arms, and were used to perform actions that required strength and control. The secondary arms were used for finer manipulation and menial activities. The body of an X'Ting was oval in shape, and was made up of carapace-covered segments. Where the shiny carapace didn't cover the body, tufts of bristles provided a minimum of protection. A stinger was located at the base of their abdomen, which could inject a deadly poison into their prey. Within the abdomen of an X'Ting were three stomachs, each with a specific purpose in the digestion of food. X'Ting larvae were raised in pentagonal chambers, with one small chamber for each individual. The X'Ting were descended from a species of flying insects, as evidenced by their vestigial wings. The X'Ting society was based on a fairly rigid caste system that separated warriors from diggers, chewers from workers, and this system seemed to be in place to counteract the most unusual aspect of the race. The sex of the adult X'Ting cycled between male and female every three years, requiring that each caste ignore genders when considering its membership. During the peak periods of each cycle, X'Ting experienced intense hormonal surges that signalled the need to reproduce. Interestingly, in addition to sexual changes, male and female forms of X'Ting were distinctly different. Males tended to be smaller although more lethal in combat, while the females were larger and more intimidating. The history of the X'Ting people was hidden in secrets, since they wanted desparately to maintain their own existence. Many years before the Clone Wars, the X'Ting took control of Cestus after defeating the Spider People in a great war. With their new-found independence, the X'Ting decided to allow the Old Republic to establish a prison complex on Cestus, hoping to gain a place in the galactic community. The hive queen negotiated a deal with the politicians on Coruscant, and the prison facilities were constructed. The unexpected outcome of all this was the formation of Cestus Cybernetics, which virtually enslaved the X'Ting people. Shortly after the prison was completed, plagues began to destroy parts of the X'Ting society. Many felt that the plagues had been set loose by the offworlders who came to the planet as prisoners. It was during this period of strife, some 150 years before the Clone Wars, that a Jedi Knight was believed to have arrived on Ord Cestus and rallied the X'Ting, giving them strength and encouragement to save themselves against all odds. A so-called Great Plague then decimated the X'Ting about 100 years before the Clone Wars, reducing the millions of X'Ting to mere hundreds and destroying the royal family. Only a handful of eggs from the queen remained, which were hidden beneath the planet's surface behind an extensive security system, thereby ensuring the survival of the royal line. (HIV, TCD) X'Tingian this language, characterized by its collection of buzzes and clicks, was the spoke language of the X'Ting race. Additionally, scents and smells were used to store and convey information, as a "written" form of the language. (HIV) XT-model Speederbike this was an ancient version of the speederbike, developed by the Mandalorians during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR) XTS-673 this Xizor Transport Systems bulk cruiser was destroyed by the Azzameen family, during a raid in which the Azzameen's acquired a supply of warheads from Black Sun. (XWA) XTX984 this was the communications frequency used by the traffic control system of the planet Elrood to transmit landing instructions to inbound starships. (PG3) Xuaquarres IV this planet, located in the Xuaquarres System, was the site of an Imperial weapons storehouse similar to that found on Mount Tantiss. It was also the site of the sacred burial ground used by the Duinuogwuin dragons. When the burial grounds were discovered by Zagsm'ith, a nearby Star Dragon sensed his presence and went to investigate. The dragon sensed the Imperial presence as bad, and Zagsm'ith's presence as benign, and wiped out the Imperials. The dragon then sent Zagsm'ith and his crew away, wiping out their memory of Xuaquarres and the burial ground. (GMS) Xucaabo this Dug puppeteer was noted for his skill with puppets and his ability to tell entrancing stories, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He fell upon hard times when his homeworld of Malastare experienced political upheaval between the Gran and Dug populations, and he was forced to take a high-interest loan from Senator Ask Aak just to make ends meet. When he defaulted on his payments, the Senator placed a bounty on Xucaabo's head in order to bring him in for questioning. This bounty was claimed by Jango Fett shortly after the Battle of Naboo, when he traveled to Malastare to demand an audience with Sebolto. (BH) Xucphra one of the two major pro-human competitors in the bacta production market on the planet Thyferra, the Xucphra faction was pro-Imperial in all its dealings. Xucphra benefitted greatly from Emperor Palpatine's reign. Along with the Zaltin faction, Palpatine decreed that all bacta would be produced by them, and it would be produced for military use only. This eliminated smaller competitors while creating higher profits. Among the schemes they implemented was the use of satellite facilities to produce bacta, which was then shipped back to Thyferra via a transport company owned by Xucphra. It didn't remove the Ashern faction, but viewed them as terrorists. Their corporate cultures of Xucphra and Zaltin mirrored the culture of the people who make up its employees, but only from a human standpoint. Nearly three million Vratix were employed to create the bacta, while some 10,000 humans formed the management ranks. Erisi Dlarit was a member of the Xucphra family, and was working with Ysanne Isard during the Krytos crisis on Coruscant. Dlarit was a spy, supplying Isard information on the mission profiles of Rogue Squadron. When Isard left Coruscant, she took Dlarit with her. They fled to Thyferra, where Isard took control of the planet and its bacta production, throwing her support to the Xucphra faction and ousting the Zaltin workforce. However, the New Republic had no intentions of allowing bacta production to fall into Imperial hands. A daring mission by Rogue Squadron helped the Zaltin faction overcome Xucphra's treachery, and Xucphra was defeated and forced to relinquish control to the Zaltin faction. (XWN, KT, BW) Xucphra Alazhi this ship was among the first bacta transport ships intercetped by Rogue Squadron, in the time leading up to the Battle of Thyferra. Its captain refused to surrender, even after its two companions, the Xucphra Rose and Xucphra Meander, allowed Wedge Antilles to take control. The Alazhi tried to fire on the Meander as it surrendered, but the Rogues neutralized her weapons. After being guaranteed that the crews' families would be safe from Ysanne Isard, the Alazhi surrendered. However, the Corrupter suddenly emerged from hyperspace and destroyed the Alazhi, as well as killing Riv Shiel and almost taking Gavin Darklighter. (BW) Xucphra City this is the site of Thyferra's primary stellar-class starport. Known as Zalxuc City during the New Order, it was renamed when Xucphra aligned with Ysanne Isard and took control of the production of bacta. (BW) Xucphra Meander this was the second bacta transport ship captured by Rogue Squadron, in the time leading up to the Battle of Thyferra. Its Captain followed the lead of Bors Kenlin aboard the Xucphra Rose and surrendered her ship as soon as Wedge Antilles explained that her ship would be taken to Coruscant, where the crew could hide or obtain passage. (BW) Xucphra Rose this was the first bacta transport ship captured by Rogue Squadron, in the time leading up to the Battle of Thyferra. It was captained by Bors Kenlin, who surrendered his ship as soon as Wedge Antilles guaranteed the safety of the crews' families. (BW) Xuczal City this was the human name for the capital city of the planet Thyferra. Known in the Vratix language as Xozhixi, Xuczal City was named for the Xucphra and Zaltin factions of the Bacta Cartel. (PH) Xufal D'uat this Tiss'shar bounty hunter worked in the vicinity of Elrood from his ship, the Venom Sting. D'uat made extensive modifications to the Barloz-clas freighter, adding anti-intruder sensors and safeguards as well as a pair of turret-mounted quad-laser cannons. During one mission, D'uat captured an Allaince gunrunner who turned out to be an Imperial officer named Hamaz. D'uat agreed to let Hamaz go free, provided that he record a full confession as collateral against Hamaz coming after D'uat. However, three years after acquiring the ship, D'uat was caught and killed by a fellow hunter who had been hired by Hamaz himself. Hamaz was unable to recover the recording, and the Venom Sting was set adrift in space. (SS) Xukchuk this was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG) Xurkonia a synthetic, diamond-like crystal produced by the Kubaz. (IJ) Xutoo this was the nickname used by the ARC trooper designated CT-X270, during the height of the Clone Wars. Xutoo was trained as a pilot, and was chosen to assume the piloting duties for the mission to Ord Cestus by the ARC trooper Captain known as Nate. Unfortunately, when the mission was ordered to return to Coruscant, Xutoo and Doolb Snoil found that their ship had been sabotaged. Xutoo kept the ship flying long enough for Snoil to reach and escape pod, allowing the Vippit to survive the inevitable. Xutoo died shortly afterward, when the ship exploded in flames. (TCD) Xuz meaning "intellectual", 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) XV7 light-duty Taim and Bak shipboard turbolasers employed by Imperial system patrol craft. (TIE) XV9 heavy-duty Taim and Bak shipboard turbolasers employed by many capital ships. (SCRE) XVI this was the designation of Bryn & Gweith's multipurpose missile launching system, which could fire a variety of missile types. (HAS) Xwhee this was the name given to the planet Bakura after the Keeramak consecrated the planet in the name of the Ssi-ruuk, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Keeramak had led the Bakurans to believe that it was working on behalf of the newly-liberated P'w'eck, but was actually working for disguised Yuuzhan Vong superiors. The consecration of Bakura meant that the Ssi-ruuk could attack the planet at will, without fear of dying on a pagan world and losing their souls forever. (FH2) X-Wing common name for the Incom T-65c A2 Starfighter, this is a 12.5 meter snub fighter with two wings that split in two by activating S-foils. This allows for greater maneuverability and firing accuracy; each of the split wings has its own laser cannon (total of four). It is a single-pilot ship, with an R2 astromech droid socket. The R2 unit is used in place of a navigationa computer. It is extremely maneuverable, even at its top sublight speed of 110 MGLT. It has also been clocked at 1,050 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. The X-Wing was designed by Incom just before the Empire stopped contracting out naval construction. The Empire believed that Incom was infiltrated by Alliance sympathizers, and relieved the X-Wing team of duty. The X-Wing team then defected to the Alliance, flying out with all the X-Wing prototypes and the starfighter's plans. Their parting gesture to the Empire was to destroy all records of the X-Wing in Incom and Imperial databases. The Alliance then began to produce the X-Wing themselves, recognizing its potential. It continued to gain acceptance after the Galactic Civil War due to its maneuverability and durability. Several upgrades and modifications from the liberated Incom design team didn't yield major improvements until the advent of the T-65d A1, which eliminated the astromech droid in favor of more computer power to provide the pilot with more in-flight options in terms of maneuverability and management of shipboard resources. The T-65c A2 boasts the following shipboard components: Incom GBk-585 Hyperdrive Motivation Unit Incom MKI Drive Module 4 wing-mounted Incom 4j.4 Fusial Thrust Engines (some models use Incom 4L4 Fusial thrusters) IN-344-B Sightline Holographic Crosshairs 4 Taim and Bak IX4 Laser Cannons (some models use Taim and Bak KX9 laser cannons) Fabritech ANq 3.6 Target Tracker Fabritech ANs-5d Sensor Unit Fabritech k-blakan Mini Sensor S-foil Activator Gax Revival Life Support System Guidenhauser Ejection Seat Novaldex O-4Z Ionization Reactor Chempat Defender Shield Projector (rated at 50 SBD) Cryogenic Power Cells Torplex Rq8.Y Avionics Control Package Carbanti Universal Transceiver Package Melihat Multi-Imager Dedicated Energy Receptor Tana Ire Electro-photo Receptor Long Range Phased Tachyon Detection Array Model Number PA-9r Short Range Primary Threat Analysis Grid Number PG-7u Bertriak Screamer Active Jammer Krupx MG7 Proton Torpedo Launchers (2 racks of 3) Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 20 RU) Transparisteel Canopy R2 Astromech Navigation Droid 4 Exhaust Nacelles Sarylcorp Reactant Agitator Injector Surge Vent Fire Extinguisher (SW, SCRE, SWSB, TNR) XwiziMarble this small company specialized in the quarrying, cutting, and export of Ralltiiri marble. Although XwiziMarble was secretly supportive of the Alliance, the Imperial-subsidized Ralltiir Consolidated Marble continued to try and damage XwiziMarble's operations. (CCW) XX-23 this Imperial Engineering S-thread tracking device was used to track starships which were moving through hyperspace. The small cylinder broadcasts a continuous signal that can be picked up by the HoloNet's s-threads. A dedicated computer can then instantaneously recognize when the ship crosses an s-thread, and can plot its course based on the s-threads it traverses. (CFG) XX-298-B this Imperial scouting expedition discovered the Tatrang System. (PG2) XX-5 a series of service droids used on Cloud City to assist in carbon-freezing tibanna gas for shipment. (CCC) XX-777 this prototype, droid-controlled starship was developed by Shipyard 6671-X42, otherwise known as the Nerfworks, to serve as an automated escort frigate for military operations. It was codenamed the Crusader, and was designed to overcome the long lead-time required to "season" a droid brain to learn how to become a pilot. Engineers at the Nerfworks used the droid brain from a centuries-old, military protocol droid as the basis for the ship's computer systems, hoping that the only thing they would have to program into the system was the operational characteristics of the XX-777. Basic survival and safety protocols were hard-wired into the brain, in an effort to eliminate the need for periodic memory wipes. Records from both Loronar Corporation the the Corellian Engineering Corporation reported the XX-777 was destroyed after its first test. However, it was later discovered that the XX-777 had been brought back to drydock for refitting after its early tests, but the droid brain overrode its programming and fled into hyperspace. The Nerfworks engineers surmised that the droid had simply been trying to obey the hardwired directive of protecting the innocent, and that it couldn't do that if it was taken apart. The XX-777 was seen many times over the following years, sticking to little-used hyperspace lanes, far out from the Core Worlds. At the time it was lost, the XX-777 was armed with a pair of heavy ion cannons, and could accommodate up to 300 metric tons of cargo and thirty passengers. (GMR10) XX-8 this Taim & Bak turbolaser emplacement was the predecessor of the XX-9. (EGW) XX-9 this Taim & Bak shipboard heavy-duty turbolaser system was used on larger capital ships, such as the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. (SCRE) XXt-26 this Neuro-Saav S-thread tracker was similar in most respects to the Imperial XX-23. (EGW) Xy-2 Aircoupe this racing airspeeder was designed and manufactured by XySpeeder Corporation. (HR) Xyathone this chemical was used in the production of medicinal and recreational drugs on the planet Ord Cestus, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was a stable compound primarily used to reduce the concentration of the pure drug, allowing manufacturers to reduce the potency of each dosage. Xyathone was also used to cut illegal drugs, allowing pushers to charge more credits for a slightly inferior product. To the discerning individual, Xyathone had a distinct odor that was nearly masked by more powerful drugs. (TCD) Xydge this Trandoshan and his brothers, Rydge and Stydge, served as chiefs of security for the band Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. They all wore full-body armor, as well as a blaster at each hip. It was later discovered that Xydge was in league with Niklas Cories, who was posing as Aphus Polix in an attempt to murder Aquella Firth. (WOA28) Xylen a material that was used to store information, as well as to create android processors. Its uses have dwindled during the New Republic, having been replaced by more advanced materials. (COJ) Xylines-class Spacetug this 42-meter starship was produced by Cuirilla-Raye, and was often referred to as a CRX Tug by spacers. It has a ray-shaped hull, with the forward section being rounded and the aft section tapering down to the engines. There are two main decks: the upper deck houses the cockpit, crew quarters, and communications stations; the lower deck contains engineering, cargo areas, and escape pods. It required a crew of two to operate, and could transport up to eight passengers. Designed for orbital and short-range duties, the Xylines-class tug lacked a hyperdrive. (TA, PP) Xyn, Torvin this was the alias assumed by a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, who managed to infiltrate the Imperial military and spy on the activities of the Imperial Remnant. He was discovered shortly after the Battle of Bastion, as the remaining Imperial fleet massed to defend Borosk. Jacen Solo and his specially-programmed MSE-6 mouse droids identified Xyn and several other "Imperial officers" as Yuuzhan Vong in disguise, and called them to a "staff meeting" aboard the Right to Rule. Without a way to escape, Torvin Xyn removed his ooglith masquer and attacked. When a squadron of stormtroopers were called in as support, Jacen managed to take advantage of the Yuuzhan Vong's surprise to slice through the alien's chest with his lightsaber. (FH1) Xyquine this planet was the site of a botched New Republic mission in which Pash Cracken invented the Cracken Twist. It is located in the Corellian Sector. The New Republic fleet, under the command of the Mon Calamari Gingal, was ambushed by Imperial forces while on patrol there. (TLC, TTSB, REB) Xyquine a style of jewelry created on Xyquine. (DFR) XySpeeder Corporation this company designed and manufactured racing speeders and upgrade replacement parts. (HR) Xythan Force Shield this unusual, personal comabt shield was developed by Cestus Cybernetics during the height of the Clone Wars, and turned over to Asajj Ventress and the Separatists for their use. The Xythan shield absorbed and returned any energy it came into contact with, making it especially useful in repelling lightsaber attacks. (TCD) Xzuhal this Falleen was a noted scout who patrolled the region just outside the Unknown Regions during the Galactic Civil War. (SESB) |
