(CFG) Z004 this model of landspeeder was produced by Ubrikkian Industries. (GMS) Z-10 a massive transport ship. (TME) Z-10 Seeker a Starfeld starship design, the Z-10 was originally targetted for use by scouts and traders. The Z-10 never gained a foothold in that market, however, and Starfeld began selling it in other markets. It was designed to be fast and maneuverable, and many of its systems were poorly adapted for combat use when modified. A sleek ship, the Z-10 had a pair of cargo pods slung below its central fuselage. Measuring 20.3 meters in length, the ship required a pilot to operate and could transport two passengers and up to 45 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a front-mounted Prm-3 autoblaster which was hardwired into the sensor package. (SS) Z-12 this was the model number of one of Aratech's Cargo Master speeder trucks. Designed for military use, this 20-meter-long repulsor-truck could carry and pilot and gunner, as well as up to 24 troops. It was armed with a single, turret-mounted heavy blaster cannon. (TTSB) Z2 this was a model of stun baton produced by Merr-Sonn. It was used by both the Empire and the New Republic Security Force. (HR, AIR) Z2-1B this 2-1B series medical droid was one of the few examples of its kind to go rogue, adopting an independent agenda that it set out to accomplish on its own. Known as "The Doctor" by its creations, Z2-1B was once a regular medical droid, until sometime during the New Order, when a lethal plague wiped out the entire population of the planet on which it was working. Z2-1B continued to investigate a possible cure for the plague for many months after the deaths of its human companions, before realizing that it needed help to complete its mission. Lacking organic resources, Z2-1b began to create droids to serve as its assistants. Over time, Z2-1B came to realize that organic life was fragile at best, and that its droids would serve another set of organic masters until they died as well, leaving the droids behind once again. With this realization, Z2-1B suddenly found that it believed humans to be inferior to droids. With this realization came the drive for independence, and Z2-1B set out to develop what it considered the "perfect" droid, using his existing creations as a baseline for his work. (WOTC) z23 this was the designation of Seinar Fleet Systems' heat dissipation unit, used to reduce the operating temperature of large repulsorcraft and AT-AT walkers. (CCG9) Z-24 this was the designation of Aratech's heavy Cargo Master speeder truck. It measured thirty meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It coud carry up to fourteen passengers and seven metric tons of cargo. (SWJ6) Z2-9 Hover Vid-Cam this was a type of droid developed for use by investigative reporters. It can a number of recording facilities, including holographic video and full-spectrum sound. (HR) Z31 this Imperial hover-probe droid was assigned to Major Stipling during his search for a source of doonium. The droid was destroyed by Limna Yith, during Black Sun's attempt to retake possession of the Yen-2 mining operation. (SSR) Z3-NO Mark II this series of landscaping droids was developed for sale to wealthy landowners who were too lazy or distracted to do their own landscaping. The Mark II eventually found its way into the usage of planetary terraformers. The Z3-NO has a round, turtle-shapped body supported by four legs. The front two legs have digging implements, while the rear two support the body when digging. (GF) Z-500 a group of Muurian transports destroyed by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (XWN) Z-6 this was the designation of an advanced jet pack system manufactured by Mitrinomon. It had maneuverable exhaust nozzles that helped the user change direction in mid-flight, and it has built-in gyrostabilizers to counteract gravity during landings. It was believed that Boba Fett used a modified version of the Z-6 during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Because the Z-6 relied on an ambient oxygen supply to develop its propulsion, it could not be used in the vaccum of space or underwater. It also had the annoying tendency to fire when hit hard. (CCG7, GFT, AEG, WOTC) Z-9 Sirplex shield projector used on the A-Wing starfighter. (SCRE) Z-95 AF3 this was one of the early modifications SubPro made to the basic Z-95 Headhunter, giving the ship enhanced weapons and shielding to withstand more firepower. The AF3 - with the AF standing for Assault Fighter - was developed some three years prior to the Battle of Naboo. (SFT, SWDB) Z-95 Headhunter this snub fighter was the last ship which was built by Incom in cooperation with Subpro Industries. The two corporations severed their relationship just before the onset of the Clone Wars, a few years before Incom began production on the X-Wing. One of the key designers of the ship was Seti Ashgad. They are 11.8 meters in length, and were equipped with twin engines, forked tails, and bomb pylons. They were famous for how much punishment they could take in battle, as well as the adaptability of the basic fighter design to other mission profiles. Each Headhunter was equipped with up to 3 blaster cannons on each wing, a concussion missile launcher, and a unique bubble canopy that allowed its pilot an almost 360-degree view of the sky around him. They employed a holographic, heads-up display that made the bubble canopy even more effective. However, the Z-95 lacked a hyperdrive. With the advent of the X-wing, the Z-95 became relegated to smugglers' armies and backwater usage, but still maintained a great following due to their toughness. During the era of the New Order, Jessa and Doc had six of them in their defense system, while Talon Kaarde even had a few of them in his fleet during the early years of the New Republic. They have been clocked at 1,150 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere, and can generate sublight speeds of 85 MGLT. They are equipped with the following shipboard components: Novaldex O3-R Cryogenic Power Cells and Ionization Reactor 4 Incom 2a Ion Fission Engines Vudyne CF-30 Flight Control Avionics Package Narmox Zr-390 NavComp Unit Incom Gbk-435 Hyperdrive Motivator Fabritech ANs-5c Sensor Package Long-range Phased Tachyon Detection Array model# PA-9r Short-range Primary Threat Analysis Grid model# PG-7u Fabritech ANq 2.4 Tracking Computer SI 5g8 "Quickscan" Vector Imaging System 2 Taim & Bak KX5 Laser Cannons 2 Krupx MG5 Concussion Missile Launchers (4 missile each) XoLyyn Front/Rear Projection shields (rated at 20 SBD), Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 15 RU) (HSE, DFR, JS, RASB, TIE, EGV, HNN4, SWDB) Z-95 I3 this was the designation of the "Improved Model 3" version of the Z-95 Headhunter starfighter. It was armedwith a pair of triple blasters, and was generally considered the most popular of the Headhunters. (PG1) Z-95 Mark I considered to be the original model, this early version of the Z-95 Headhunter had a swing-wing design. It was armed with a pair of triple blasters and a concussion missile launcher. (EGV, PG1) Z-95-AF4 this is the common designation of the basic Z-95 Assault Fighter 4, a heavier version of the modified Z-95 AF3 Headhunter. (EGV, SFT) Z-95C4d an ground-support version of the Z-95 Headhunter, it has bombing capabilities. (SWSB) Z-95ER an extended-range version of the Z-95 Headhunter. (SWSB) Z-95Mk1 this was another designation of the original Z-95 Mark I Headhunter. (PG1) Z-95ML a missile-launching version of the Z-95 Headhunter. (SWSB) Z-95t this modified Z-95 Headhunter was originally designed by Adar Tallon, and is generally considered the first variant of the Headhunter to employ a hyperdrive system. (SWDB) Z-95XT an two-seat version of the Z-95 Headhunter used for training, the Z-95XT lacks the basic Z-95's concussion missiles. (RASB) Za this Defel Prince was a member of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council,primarily because his family controlled several key hyperspace trade routes. He was also a puppet of Norym Kim, and was paid by Kim to be the first to nominate Xandel Carivus to succeed Nolyds as the Council's leader. (CE2, HCE) ZA-991-131 this New Republic Intelligence datafile contained information on the re-instatement of Lando Calrissian to an acting officer of the New Republic military, during the hunt for the Teljkon vagabond. Much of the datafile is conjecture, as it was never determined which office actually re-instated Calrissian. (CTD) Zaadja this seemingly unimportant planet, located in the Outer Rim, was the site of a ferocious battle some eighteen months after the Battle of Geonosis. The Separatists had established a droid manufacturing facility on Zaadja, but it was discovered by the Old Republic. Despite the planet's cold ecosystem, the Geonosians who traveled to work at the manufacturing facility found sufficient ores and materials to erect huge spires that resembled their homeworld. (RFY) Zaalbar this Wookiee left his homeworld of Kashyyyk many years before the onset of the Great Sith War, and settled on the planet Taris. His reasons for leaving Kashyyyk were a closely-guarded secret, since the memories of his old life were quite painful to recall. The truth was that it had been Zaalbar's own brother, Chuundar, who had sold his people into enslavement by allowing Czerka Corporation to infiltrate Kashyyyk and install huge manufacturing facilities. After learning of Chuundar's part in Czerka's actions, and after hearing Chuundar denounce their own father Freyyr as a senile old fool, Zaalbar became enraged at attacked his brother. While the fight might have ended honorably, Zaalbar's anger led him to bear his climbing claws in combat, an action which was forbidden by Wookie law. Zaalbar was branded a "madclaw" and forced into exile. He ended up on Taris, after travelling through several star systems looking for work. While many beings simply regarded him as an unintelligent brute who was good for nothing more than a gang enforcer, Zaalbar worked hard to eke out a legitimate living on the planet. Quite by accident, he met up with Mission Vao in the Lower City, and the pair forged a quick and lasting relationship. Mission Vao's knack for locating food and shelter, Zaalbar's intimidating form usually kept them well-protected. When Zaalbar - who Mission Vao always called "Big Z" - was captured by a group of Gamorrean thugs, Mission found herself turning to a group of Old Republic heroes to rescue him. Among her newfound friends were Bastila Shan and Carth Onasi, and the group quickly became good friends after Zaalbar's escape. Mission and Zaalbar played key roles in the search for Darth Malak, helping to repay the debt for Zaalbar's release. Zaalbar eventually returned to Kashyyyk, and helped his fellow Wookiees throw off the yoke of slavery by defeating Chuundar and breaking Czerka's hold on the planet. (KOTOR, SWDB) Zaami this was a common name used by the Qwohog race. (UANT) Zaarin, Demetrius Zaarin was an Imperial Admiral in service during the Galactic Civil War. He was placed in charge of the research and development of new TIE Fighter models, including the the TIE Advanced and TIE Defender, by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. In order to ensure that the Imperial fighters could operate without support, Zaaroin negotiated with the Habeen to obtain TIE hyperdrive technology. While he openly supported the Emperor's plans to capture Admiral Harkov following the defection of his fleet, Zaarin was plotting to move his fleet to Coruscant to kill Palpatine. He chose to make his move shortly after the death of Prince Xizor, when Lord Vader had been dispatched to clean up the remnants of Black Sun. Using the cover of Imperial fighters, he outraced Imperial pursuit in the Glory and reached Coruscant ahead of Vader, but was unable to capture Palpatine's shuttle. Vice Admiral Thrawn arrived and chased Zaarin into hyperspace. Zaarin later re-appeared, and tried to steal the prototype hibridium-based cloaking device design from Thrawn. Zaarin nearly succeeded, capturing the CR90 corvette Vorknkx, which had been equipped with a cloaking device from the research lab in the Iast System. However, Zaarin attempted to flee into hyperspace with the ship cloaked. The cloaking device had not yet been perfected for use in hyperspace, and the device exploded. The corvette and her crew, including Zaarin, were destroyed upon entering hyperspace. (TIE, RESB, SWI66) Zabian System Lando Calrissian was headed to this star system, after losing Cloud City to Zorba the Hutt. (ZHR) Zabrak this was the native language of the Zabrak people, originating from the planet Iridonia. (WOTC) Zabrak this near-human species had several sub-species, each of which was distinguishable by the vestigial horns which ringed their heads. They were known for their ability to withstand great amounts of pain. The Zabrak races were native to the planet Iridonia, but discovered the ability to travel through space early in the history of the Old Republic. They quickly set out to colonize more hospitable worlds after a group of Duros explorers provided them with the knowledge of spaceflight. The strong will and self-confidence of the Zabrak led them to establish a number of colonies on remote worlds, each as loyal to its colony as to their homeworld. One of the largest settlements of Zabrak away from Iridonia was located on the planet Talus. (IG1, SWK, WOTC, UANT, MBS) Zabrak Battle Cannon this large blaster rifle was produced by the Zabrak race on Iridonia, during the era of the Great Sith War. Many weapons experts and military officials believed that the battle cannon crossed the line between a handheld weapon and light artillery, since it was capable of piercing armor plating from across large distances. (KOTOR) Zabrak Diaspora Music this was a form of musical style that was developed by the Zabrak race, created in response to the race's colonization of worlds beyond Iridonia. Much of the music was celebratory in nature, proclaiming the ingenuity and bravery of the Zabrak explorers. (MBS) Zabrak Disruptor Cannon this large disruptor weapon was developed by the Zabrak race on their homeworld of Iridonia, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR) Zabraki this was another name for the Zabrak language. (SWGAL) Zack a predator found on the planet M'haeli, the zack's favorite prey is the dool bug.

(GCG) Zadalgo this Dug was a member of Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Zadalgo worked as a dealer of death sticks during his employment with Sebolto, and was considered an all-around hooligan and trouble-maker. The Pixelito Grand Council issued a bounty for his capture in connection with several crimes, a bounty that was later claimed by Jango Fett during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH) Zadan Isp this was a noted individual from Anomid history. (UANT) Zadarian Brandy a smooth, fermented alcohol. (TFE) Zaddja Carnor Jax sought to find Kir Kanos on this remote world, but his troops were defeated by a trap set by Kanos. Zaddja is located in the Trilon Sector of space. (CE) Zaela this long, reed-like plant is native to the swamps of the planet Naboo. Its strong, pliable stalks are really branches that extend upward from a stump-like trunk, and are used by the Gungans to form gulliball mallets and other tools. (GF) Zaerdra this woman was a member of the Hidden Beks, during the era of the Great Sith War. She served as Gadon Thek's bodyguard during this time. (KOTOR) Zaf 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) Zaff Jendinpurg this Nebulon-B escort frigate was assigned to protect the Star Galleon Emperor's Will, during its regular taxation runs. The two ships were ambushed by the Far Orbit near Esseles, and the Zaff Jendinpurg was severely damaged in the attack. (FOP) Zaffa Oil this flavorful cooking oil is used in the preparation of many strong-tasting meats, since its own flavor can augment that of the meat. (SESB) Zag Leer this was the name of a noted Zabrak individual. (UANT) Zagsm'ith this noted Columi archaeologist believed that he had discovered the burial ground used by the Star Dragons, somewhere in the Xuaquarres System. He hired a group of freelance scouts to take him there, but they discovered an Imperial weapons storehouse instead of Star Dragons on the system's fourth planet. Zagsm'ith was undaunted, though, and found that the planet was riddled with cave and caverns, and stumbled upon the remains of a Star Dragon. His discovery caused another Dragon to rouse from his lair and travel to Xuaquarres in order to determine what was happening. The Dragon killed the Imperials and allowed Zagsm'ith and the scouts to leave. However, upon emerging from hyperspace, they all discovered that there was no reference to Xuaquarres in the ship's logs and that they couldn't remember what had happened over the last several days. (GMS) Zahtjav this modified CR-90 corvette was captured by the noted pirate Venslas Beeli. It was named for a legendary Rodian monster. It was armed with 4 double turbolaser cannons and a pair of tractor beam projectors. The Zahtjav was originally an Old Republic scout craft that was decommissioned at the onset of the New Order and used as a cargo ship. Beeli and his pirates captured it after bribing the chief engineer into cutting out the power to the hyperdrive at a specific time. Beeli elected not to pay the engineer, and set him adrift in an escape pod. (FOP) Zahtjav this was a legendary Rodian monster. (FOP) Zairana Ale a brew favored by the Azzameen family. (XWA) Zak this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9) Zak this given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG) Zak this name, which meant "spear for catching fish", was common among Gungan males. (GCG) Zak "Squidfella" Quiglee this Gungan was one of the best bongo racers of his generation. He was also one of the most vocal opponents of recklessness of racers like Neb Neb Goodrow and Spleed Nukkels. He tried to lobby for their banishment from bongo racing, but any charges he brought forward were eventually dismissed. During the ensuing races, Squidfella became increasingly agitated with Spleed's tactics. During run of the Otoh Gunga Challenge, he tried to destroy her bongo after seeing that the remote-seein devices had been disabled by kreetch eels. Before he could finish the job, however, Nen Neb rammed his bongo into that of Squidfella, breaching Squidfella's bubble canopy. After the race, Squidfella had disappeared, although his bongo was recovered from the floor of Lake Paonga. He then managed to sneak back into Otoh Gunga and steal a military bongo, which he hoped to use to attack his rivals, whom he had learned were working with Lob Dizz to rebuilt Boss Nass' military heyblibber. He tried to kill them, but they managed to get the heyblibber working and rammed Squidfella's own vessel. He was knocked unconscious, and was later arrested and held for trial. He was found guilty on counts of stealing military vessels and attempted murder, and was banned from racing and sent to a correctional facility for many years. (GMR4) Zakar this Imperial General was placed in command of the military garrison on Garos IV during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ3) Zak'r this was a common name among the Noehon race. (UANT) Zal this unusual alloy was created by the Verpine race, and was used during the era of the Great Sith War to produce a mesh that could be used in the creation of body armor. (KOTOR) Zal Afreg Kt'Aya this male Coynite was the junior Zal'Tra of the Kt'Aya clan at the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was the favored son of the oldest Var'Sairk on Coyn, and his father favored remaining neutral in the Galactic Civil War. Zal Afreg was a strict adherent to the En'Tra'Sol, which he also manipulated to his own advantage. However, Zal Afreg had yet to prove his own personal honor, and many believed he didn't have any. His chief rival at the time was Zal Tuag Th'Trar. (PG3) Zal Tuag Th'Trar this junior Zal'Tra was the son of a Coynite noble who was sympathetic to the Alliance. Because of this, Zal Tuag got the chance to acquaint himself with many outstanding off-worlders. He used these meetings to report back to his father on their honor and status, as well as the status of the Galactic Civil War. Zal Tuag was fairly self-righteous about his heritage, and earned himself a rivalry with Zal Afreg Kt'Aya in passing. (PG3) Zal, Devron this man was a junior executive with Radell Mining during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His role was the hiring of temporary and contract employees, and devoted his career to ensuring that Imperial Mining Corporation never gained more market share than Radell. He disapproved of any employee who didn't dedicate his or her career to Radell. (PG3) Zalaaca this large, omnivorous reptile was native to the planet Naboo. They were swift-moving and intelligent, and were fierce predators. Despite their habit of living in the uplands of the planet, zalaacas were excellent swimmers. Little is known about the zalaaca, but they strongly resembled sando aqua monsters. The front feet of the zalaaca were studded with claws, and the rear feet were protected by thick spikes on their fetlocks. Gungans considered the capture of a wild zalaaca foal to be a right of passage, and the successful capture and training of a zalaaca meant the Gungan obtained a loyal war mount. (WSW) Zalaster, Dorok this heavily-tattooed pirate worked in the Elrood Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His bald pate was covered with swirling designs, and his moustache was braided with beads and hung down on either side of his chin. He was known to the various criminals and law officers of the time as a dirty, cruel, and opportunistic fighter who cared little for galactic politics. He established a base on operations on the planet Lanthrym, and eventually bribed his way into a position of power. (PG3) Zalem this Dathomiran Witch was the matriarch of her clan, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was the former wife of a Jedi Knight, and she used his own powers to augment her own Dark Side connection. When she was strong enough, she killed her husband and set out to raise her daugther, Ros Lai, as a Witch. However, Ros Lai seemed to be deformed, and Zalem ignored her while allowing her sister Witches to torture the young woman. Over time, Zalem's power grew on its own, and when the Witches discovered the Star Chamber on Dathomir, she knew that the time had come to assert her power. Zalem dedicated huge amounts of resources to unlocking the secrets of the Star Chamber in order to gain access to the Infinite Gates. However, her eagerness caused a failsafe in the Gate to be overlooked, and the resulting effect caused the destruction of the planet Ova. This attracted the attention of Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin of the Jedi Council, who sent Quinlan Vos to put a stop to Zalem's machinations. However, Quin was unable to stop Zalem from unleashing an Infinity Wave at Coruscant. However, Ros Lai confronted her mother shortly afterward, and Ros Lai executed Zalem in an act meant to avenge the death of her father. (SWIE) Zalk this was one of the more common Kel Dor surnames. Its meaning translated into Basic as "weaponsmith". (GCG) Zallfric this was a common name among adult Codru-Ji. (UANT) Zallir this was a common name used by the Omwati people. (UANT) Zalorian Rock-lion ths creature was native to the planet Zaloriis, and was found at the base of the leeward side of the Fantain Mountains. (GB) Zaloriian this was the sentient race which was native to the planet Zaloriis. Innately skittish and fearful, the Zaloriians spent much of their history living in small towns, away from each other and the settlements which sprang up on the planet over the centuries. They avoided the open desert, fearful of "dune ghosts" and other scary creatures. (GB) Zaloriis this wind-swept planet was covered in desolate, sandy wastes, which made it inhospitable at best. This was the primary reason that the Empire chose Zaloriis as one of the primary manufacturing locations for All-Terrain Armored Transports (AT-ATs) during the height of the New Order. The native Zaloriians tended to stay well away from the Imperial facilities, living in small outposts on the outskirts of most cities. (GB) Zaloriis City this was the capital city of the planet Zaloriis. (GB) Zalso a planet located in the Jendar Sector. (SWJ4) Zaltin one of the two major pro-human producers of bacta on the planet Thyferra, the Zaltin faction was brought into the Bacta Cartel as the "competition" to Xucphra. Zaltin benefitted greatly from Emperor Palpatine's reign. Along with the Xucphra faction, Palpatine decreed that all bacta would be produced by the two groups, and it would be produced for military use only. This eliminated smaller competitors while creating higher profits. It didn't remove the Ashern faction, but viewed them as terrorists. They have a corporate culture that is very different from that of their competitor, Xucphra, although both employ nearly 300 Vratix worker for each human manager. When Zaltin realized that the Empire was doomed, they worked on two fronts to take control from Xucphra. First, they promoted Bror Jace for pilot's status with Rogue Squadron, in an effort to gain ties to the New Republic. Second, they began supplying the Ashern with money and weapons, hoping to gain support from the native Vratix who actually produced the bacta. With the New Republic's support, the Zaltin faction was able to defeat the Xucphra and was given control of the bacta production on Thyferra. (XWN, KT, BW) Zal'Tra this was the title given to the heir of a Coynite Ag'Tra. (PG3) Zalxuc City the site of Thyferra's primary starport, Zalxuc City was established at the height of the New Order to house the human population of the planet. They were responsible almost solely for the production of bacta, but numbered just 10,000. When Ysanne Isard took control of Xucphra and bacta production, many Zaltin families fled the planet. The city was then renamed Xucphra City. (BW) Zam Wesell this Clawdite woman was a noted bounty hunter, during the last decade of the Old Republic. She was also a rival of Jango Fett, as the two were generally considered the best bounty hunters of their generation. Being a Clawdite, Zam had the ability to alter her shape, a trait which allowed her to infiltrate the inner circle of her targets with great ease. Her decision to become a bounty hunter was labeled as heretical by her fellow Clawdites, although Sam herself considered is "progressive." As part of her training, Zam learned the teachings and techniques of the Mabari, achieving the third level of prowess before setting out on her own. She then trained to become a bounty hunter on the city-world of Denon, while earning a living as a corporate security guard. Some years before the Clone Wars, Zam and Jango were both employed by Fernooda the Dug, working for General Ashaar Khorda, to recover the Infant of Shaa. They were unaware that they were actually working for General Khorda, and Zam later convinced Jango to reclaim the Infant of Shaa, in an effort to avoid Khorda's utilization of the artifact to destroy Coruscant. The pair was reunited during Jango's search for Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora cult, when Jango enlisted her help to free Bendix Fust from the Oovo IV prison facility. Zam helped Jango reach Kohlma and defeat Vosa, but was injured in the attempt. Jango rescued her, allowing Zam to receive medical treatment and resume her career. Despite their differences, Jango and Zam became grudging friends, and Zam even befriended Jango's young son, Boba. She taught the boy about the importance of books and the ability to read, showing that the acquisition of information is key to planning and good results. Just before the Battle of Geonosis, Zam was contacted by Jango, who had been hired by the Trade Federation to assassinate Senator Padme' Amidala of Naboo. The pair had planned to kill Senator Amidala when she landed on Coruscant, but the attempt killed her handmaide, Corde', instead. A second attempt, this time at Amidala's apartments, drew in the Jedi Knights, for Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, had been assigned to guard the Senator. Zam herself was nearly captured by the Jedi at the Outlander Club, but Jango refused to have his plans exposed. He killed Zam himself, in order to prevent any possible betrayal on her part. Zam Wesell was portrayed by Leeanna Walsman in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. (OWS, SWI57, JF, ZW, AOTC, BF1, VD2, SWDB, BH) Zan Arbor, Jenna a native of the planet Ventrux, this noted transgenic scientist earned fame early in her career by creating a vaccine to a space virus which threatened an entire planet. She then devoted her career to helping low-technology planets like Melasaton overcome their difficulties. Jenna was also a good friend of the Belascan Senator, Uta S'orn. About twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, she reserved Didi Oddo's café for a dinner party on an anonymous tip from Fligh. However, she didn't like the atmosphere and claimed the food was too cold, and swept out of the café with her entourage. It was during this party that the Sorrusian bounty hunter, Ona Nobis, who had been tracking Didi, sneaked into the café and laid a trap for the Oddos. Meanwhile, Jenna took the opportunity to capture Qui-Gon Jinn and transport him to Simpla-12, where she had been conducting experiments into the nature of the Force. Jenna revealed that many of her magnanimous actions in saving dying worlds were engineered by her own hand, as a way to earn the credits necessary to fund her private experiments. On worlds such as Belasco and Mindemir, she had purposely poisoned the water supply with bacteria she herself had engineered, then played the part of savior when she suddenly "discovered" the antidote. The unsuspecting planetary governments paid large sums of credits to have the bacteria neutralized. Many of the actions on these planets were ratified by the Old Republic Senate, although it was later revealed that Senator S'orn had falsified the voting in order to ensure Arbor Industries was given the chance to "solve" the problems. Zan Arbor claimed that her experiments were simply helping evolution along, culling the weak and allowing the strong to survive. She had begun her experiements into the nature of the Force on Ren S'orn, but found that a Jedi Master would be a better subject. She kept Qui-Gon in a specialized chamber, connected to several implants which could detect his connection to the Force. She knew that the Force was attuned to the body's chemical makeup, and traced its basis to the blood, but couldn't determine the exact connection. Her plans began to fall apart after she captured Qui-Gon, when the Jedi began to try and capture her. She fled Simpla-12 for Belasco, hoping to take another favor from Uta S'orn and draw out the Jedi. Despite her subterfuge and guile, Zan Arbor was captured by Qui-Gon and later exiled on a penal colony for her actions. However, she managed to make her way offworld and arrived on Vanqor several years before the Battle of Geonosis, where she began working on the drug known as the Zone of Self-Containment. She was forced to flee Vanqor when her lab was discovered by Obi-Wan and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, so Zan Arbor set up a base on Romin. On Romin, Obi-Wan discovered that she had established a relationship with Granta Omega, who agreed to fund her latest project. However, she was forced to go into hiding when Roy Teda was overthrown. This nearly turned out to be a profitable experience when the disguises of Obi-Wan and Anakin were exposed by the real Slam and his gang. It was then that Mace Windu and a group of Jedi reinforcements arrived on Romin and quickly took them prisoner. However, Zan Arbor had actually been working with Joylin the entire time, and through his deceit she was able to flee Romin with the real Slams, but not before the Jedi attached a tracking device to their ship. She and her cohorts traveled to Falleen, and hid in the Blackwater Systems facility to work on delivery mechanisms for the Zone. The Jedi discovered the facility, forcing Jenna and Roy Teda to destroy it and flee to Coruscant. She then accompanied Granta Omega to Korriban, where they planned to meet their Sith benefactor and finally gain true power.

In addition to his medical education, Zan also studied music with a professor who once taught at the Coruscant School of Music. He was stationed at the Rimsoo Seven military hospital on the planet Drongar two years after the Battle of Geonosis, where he became fast friends with Jos Vondar. In order to relieve the stress of field surgery, Zan Yant spent his downtime playing his quetarra. His skills as a surgeon were surpassed only by his skill as a musician, and it never failed to amaze Jos that Zan had not taken up a career in music. He used the music to soothe his mind and nerves after surgery, and the music was one of the few things that kept him sane during the horror of the Clone Wars. When the Rimsoo Seven facility was attacked by Separatist forces, Zan Yant and the rest of the doctors grabbed their go-bags and got ready to evacuate the location and move to a new one. In the chaos of trying to reach his transport, however, Zan dropped the case containing his quetarra. He was forced to remain on the transport, knowing that it would be suicidal for himself and the other to try and recover it. Much to his relief, though, Den Dhur was rushing to the transport just behind him, and managed to recover the quetarra before leaping into the transport. Zan was eternally grateful to the Sullustan, and vowed never to forget him. Zan's happiness was cut short when, just after take-off, the transport was hit by a Separatist missile. The shrapnel that filled the ship penetrated his spinal cord just below the neck, severely damaging his brain and killing him also instantly. It was of little consolation to the members of Rimsoo Seven that Zan had died happy, knowing the quetarra was safe.

Senator Zar later became part of a small group that supported Bail Organa's pettion to ensure Chancellor Palpatine relinquished the unprecedented control he had been given during the Clone Wars.

As the Darkest Knight, Zekk was given command of the assault team sent to Kashyyyk to steal starship components for the Second Imperium's own ships. They infiltrated the planet holo-disguised as Wookiees, and successfully obtained a large amount of starship shielding and navigational equipment. When he suddenly found that his Imperial masters were defeated, Zekk tried to return to the Light Side of the Force, but found himself unable to concentrate and accomplish his goals. He fled Yavin 4 and returned to Ennth, only to discover the planet in the throes of is worse devastation in recent record. He helped evacuate as many people as he could, but he still felt out of place. After the evacuation, he let himself drift through the Force, and decided to become a bounty hunter. He accepted the challenge of capturing Bornan Thul, hoping to use the little control he had of the Force to track him down before anyone could harm him. Like many others, he failed to find the Alderaanian, but was welcomed back into the fold of friends on Yavin 4. He later helped Raynar Thul search out Bornan, and rejoined the Jedi Academy. He continually worked to avoid the Dark Side, and actually used the Force to win the 93rd annual Blockade Runners Derby. After attaining the rank of Jedi Knight, Zekk was one of many individuals who were forced into battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Zekk was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. (LO, L, DK, SHA, TEP, ROM, UF) Zekka Thyne this near-human was known as Patches to the agents of the Corellian Security Force, for his pinkish colored skin was covered with blue splotches of color. He had red eyes with black, diamond-shaped pupils, pointed ears, and pointed, black teeth. Zekka Thyne was imprisoned at Kessel by Corran Horn and his father, Hal. There were rumors that Zekka Thyne was the heir-apparent to Prince Xizor's Black Sun empire, and that he had murdered a number of high-ranking Black Sun rivals to help pave that path. His imprisonment on Kessel, followed by Xizor's death just before the Battle of Endor, left Thyne without many possibilities. However, when Wedge Antilles and the New Republic began searching for a way to infiltrate Coruscant, they chose to release Thyne from Kessel and allow him to reactivate his old Black Sun contacts on the planet. Thyne was supposed to be under the watchful eye of Fliry Vorru, but he still managed to make contact with the Empire on Coruscant. He continually relayed information on the Rogues' activities until he was discovered by Corran Horn and Inyri Forge, his former lover and spice cutter. In Corran's attempt to escape, Inyri shot Thyne dead. (WG, TFE) Zeku this alien race was native to the planet Zekulae. (DOH) Zekulae this planet was the homeworld of the Zeku race. (DOH) Zel this man was one of the leaders of the Freedom movement, serivng Malinza Thanas during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Malinza escaped from jail, with the help of Jaina Solo, it was Zel's hot temper that led him to accuse Jaina of betraying them. Only when a homing bacon was found sewn into the waistband of Malinza's pants did Zel relent. Unfortunately, Zel was shot and killed by the Bakuran police when the location of the Stack was revealed. The police raided the Stack, and Zel was shot while fleeing. (FH2) Zelada a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "traveler" or "explorer". (GCG) Zelakesh this backwater planet was a haven for all sorts of criminals during the early years of the New Order. (DCAR) Zeldiis this barren ball of rock was the second planet in the Zel System. It was orbited by three moons. (PH) Zele this was a slender, lop-horned her animal that was native to the planet Dagro. The farmers of the planet managed to domesticate zeles for use as pack animals. (SWI76) Zelen this imperial pilot served with Soontir Fel int he 37th Imperial Fighter Wing during the Reslian Purge. (MBF) Zel'iphian Slave Traders this group of slavers, led by Ith'ril Eventide, was based in the Dantooine System during the height of the New Order. (SWGAL) Zell this rotund alien, the Ambassador of the planet Majoor during the last years of the Old Republic, was one of C-3PO's owners before the droid was owned by Jord Dusat and Thall Joben. Ambassador Zell acquired the droids after they left the service of Lonn Idd and his children, Vik and Nikki, to serve as tutors and companions for his son Llez. However, he was unaware that his constant absence had turned Llez' attention to more devious pursuits. When Zell set out on a diplomatic mission to Armath, he found himself being pursued by the noted space pirate, Reddjak. Unknown to Zell, Llez had run away from home to set Reddjak free and join his pirate band. As Reddjak's forces closed in, Zell ordered his own security officers to turn the table on the pirate and board the attacking ship. Llez had realized that Reddjak wasn't a worthy hero, and helped his father bring the pirate to justice. It was then that Zell revealed he had once been a Space Ranger, earning more of Llez' admiration. In the wake of the incident, Zell resolved to spend more time with his son, and sent the droids back to the Intergalactic Droid Agency for reassignment. (MDCAR, NEGC) Zellone this gas giant was the fifth and outermost planet in the Zel System. It was orbited by seventeen moons. (PH) Zelmaadine this searing ball of rock, known for its active volcanoes, was the innermost planet of the Velm System. (WOTC) Zeloa this planet was the innermost world of the Zel System. Zeloa was unusual in that it was a gas giant located so close to its primary star. It was orbited by fourteen moons. (PH) Zeloc this gas giant was the fifth planet in the Velm System. It was orbited by eleven moons and a system of debris rings. (WOTC) Zelor this man served as the Regent of the planet Velmor for twenty years, following the subjugation of the planet by the Empire. During this time, Zelor was one of Prince Anod's closest advisors, during his early political training on Velmor. He challenged Luke Skywalker, who was in the guise of Korl Marcus, to a duel, when Luke arrived on Velmor with Prince Denid. Rather than rely on Captain Traal's plans to have Marcus kill Denid, Zelor convinced Prince Anod to do it. Zelor then planned to execute Anod himself. However, in the attempt, Anod was shot and killed by Traal. Zelor himself set out to kill Luke, but was no match for the Jedi's strength and cunning. Zelor was killed in the struggle, shortly after Traal murdered Jedidiah. It was later revealed that Zelor had become greedy, and had set into motion his own plans to eliminate Anod and Denid, hoping to place his own family on the throne. (LTA2, WOTC, MC49) Zelos this white star is the central point of the Zelos System. This system is anomalous because of the proximity of a large, stationary gravity well near the outermost world of Rymm. The planets and moons in the system are continually pulled toward Zelos and the gravity well, although they have never left their orbits around Zelos. Travel within the system is extremely hazardous if the proper routes are not followed. (PG2) Zelos this world was the home planet of the Aga. (COJ) Zelos II this planet, the second world located in the Zelos System, is the homeworld of the Zelosians. It is a mountainous world with four moons. The Empire subjugated the planet in an effort to control the export of raw ores. In a marvel of subversion, it kept the Zelosians ignorant of the exact destination of the ores. The Zelosians were completely unaware that they were working to support the Imperial war machine. When the Battle of Endor signalled the end of the Empire, the Zelosians assumed the Empire had abandoned its base on Zelos II. However, the Imperials remained behind, hidden in the Valley of Umbra. The New Republic tried to infiltrate the base and eradicate the Imperial presence on Zelos II, which had been tipped off by a group of mercenaries. Unfortunately, the Republic's Red Team Five was nearly wiped out in the raid. The average day on Zelos II lasts 20 standard hours, and its year lasts 300 local days. It was rumored that the dead could come back to life if they made it to the Bare Forest, as several animated corpses were seen at different times of the year in several cities. It was later discovered that a species of wormlike creatures were scavenging on the dead bodies. Their feeding released chemicals that affected the nervous system of the bodies they consumed. In higher-order creatures like humans, which had been dead just a short while, this often fired the central nervous system into action. The result was that, for a short time, the muscles of the dead body were contracted automatically, sometimes resulting in enough motion to imitate walking. (PG2, TFNR) Zelosian an near-human race native to the planet Zelos II. The Zelosians guard a wonderful secret about their heritage: they are descended from an intelligent race of plants, and have a liquid form of green chlorophyll for blood. They cannot consume sguar, for it acts like alcohol in their bloodstream. The eyes of every Zelosian are emerald green, and are incapable of seeing in the dark. This night-blindness has created a species-wide fear of the dark, and remain hidden indoors after the sun goes down. The average Zelosian was quite superstitious, with a variety of beliefs which would seem ridiculous to the modern being. (PG2, AE) Zelosian's Chine located deep in the heart of the Great Zelosi Sea, the Chine is a sharp-spired ridge of coralline mountains that is surrounded by deadly reefs. Legends persist of a vast treasure hidden in caves at the base of the Chine, but have never fully been proved true. The legend claims that a merchant prince was traveling in his starship during one of the Sepulchral Night eclipses. The ship was dragged down by Zelos' gravity well, and forced to crash in the ocean. It landed near the Chine, with most of its base revealed during the low tide. The prince was unaware of the unusual tides on Zelos II, and began directing his men to bury the treasure in the caves at the mountain's base. The tide began to roll in, swiftly engulfing the prince, his men, and his treasure. Melks supposedly consumed the prince and his crew, and the treasure was never seen again. The problem with finding the treasure is that the only way to get to the caves is to travel at the time of the lowest tides on Zelos II. These only occur during the Day of the Sepulchral Night, and every native Zelosian hides indoors on this day. Thus, explorers must have a good idea of where to go before the Day occurs. When fully exposed by low tides, the Chine resembles the skeletal remains of a huge, spiny-backed beast. (TFNR) Z-Elpi an Alliance transport ship captured during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) Zeltron this humanoid race was native to the planet Zeltros. The average Zeltron had the ability to project powerful pheromones at another individual, and their empathic abilities allowed them to sense the feelings of other beings. As a people, the Zeltrons cared little for military force or planetary defense, but they were continually in top physical condition. Individual Zeltrons were easily distinguished by their deep red skin and their black hair, and they were characterized by their love of gambling and their ability to love other beings unconditionally. When a Zeltron was deprived of the ability to love or gamble, they usually resorted to violence, and were known to be excellent warriors when they had no other way to channel their enthusiasm. (EGA, MC70, MC96) Zeltron Artistic Guild this guild oversaw the export of Zeltron artwork to the rest of the galaxy, during the early years of the New Republic. (GMR1) Zeltron Flute this wind instrument was created by the mistrels and musicians of the planet Zeltros. (PH) Zeltron Lute this stringed instrument was created by the mistrels and musicians of the planet Zeltros. (PH) Zeltronian Spiced Wine Dengar had drunk too much of this the night before Jabba died, and so he missed the trip to the Pit of Carkoon. (DESB) Zeltros this planet, the third world in the Zel System, was the homeworld of the Zeltrons. It was located in the Stenness Node, not far from Ambria and Amara. Sometime after the Battle of Endor, both the Hiromi and the Nagai tried to subjugate Zeltros for their own empires, but their attacks coincided with each other. This allowed the meager forces of the Alliance of Free Planets to defat both sides, maintaining Zetros' freedom. The planet was located on the edge of the Outer Rim, near the Unknown Regions. It was orbited by a pair of moons. It was said that "One Zeltron was the life of the party. On Zeltros, life is the party." Note that the Planet Hoppers entries for Zeltros claim that the planet was located in the Inner Rim. (MC73, MC104, UANT, PH, GMR1) Zelvahn this planet, covered woth frozen deserts, was the fourth planet in the Zel System. It was orbited by four moons. (PH) Zemex this Imperial nerve agent was created in a laboratory on Coruscant during the last years of the New Order. The espionage droid known as the IT planned to use zemex to incapacitate the entire Senate of the fledgeling New Republic, as part of a plan to eliminate the Republic and reclaim Coruscant for the Empire. (AFA) Zemphyr Defenders, Incorporated this small corporation produced a number of anti-weapon devices, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GFT) Zen Lotto this Toydarian served as the chairbeing of the Grav-ball Federation during the height of the New Order. (CCW) Zena this was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9) Zend, Salla an old flame of Han Solo's during the early years of the New Order, Salla Zend worked long and hard as a tech on a corporate transport to save enough credits to float a loan from a Hutt to buy her own ship. She started out as a normal merchant aboard the Rimrunner, but somehow ended up as a sumggler. She often referred to her ship as "he", bucking the centuries-old tradition of naming ships after females. It was during her career as a smuggler that she met Han Solo and Shug Ninx. They made a number of runs together, smuggling spice to the Stenness System and trying to outdo each other on the Kessel Run. Then, during a routine solo run, the hyperdrive onboard the Rimrunner failed. She would have crashed into a neutron star if Solo hadn't saved her. However, her ship was lost. Note that Rebel Dawn indicates that Salla lost the Rimrunner after she attempted to beat Han during a Kessel Run. She attempted to microjump across the Maw, and fried her ship's systems upon re-entry. The experience left Salla deeply shaken, and she took Roa's advice and decided to settle down. She told everyone that she and Han were going to get married, and starting making plans. Solo didn't want to get married, however, and he left her on Nar Shaddaa. After that, she began working on her new ship, the Starlight Intruder, with Shug's help. When Han showed up on Nar Shaddaa following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Salla was pulled into the New Republic's web. She helped Solo escaped Boba Fett, and was again left waiting to see if Han would ever call back. As fate would have it, Solo did come back. However, she and Shug Ninx were forced to leave the spaceport after Han Solo destroyed one of their prized cruisers, and Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass ransack the garage. Because of the financial losses she suffered, Salla considered her debts to the New Republic repaid, and planned to return to Byss and recover the Starlight Intruder. Shortly after learning that the ship had been dismantled by Imperial technicians, Salla once again found herself helping the Republic. She was instrumental in getting her fellow smugglers to help cover the Republic's attack on Byss, and later helped defend the New Alderaan base from Imperial attack. (DE1, DESB, DE2, THG, RD, SWDB) Zendra this was a common name among the Umbaran people. (UANT) Zenex this Falleen crimelord was active during the last decades of the Old Republic. He set up shop on The Wheel several months before the Battle of Geonosis, and managed to attract the attention of Korto Vos. At the same time, he came into possession of a datadisk which contained a message from Nute Gunray, describing an imminent attack on the planet Kamino by the Separatists. The disk was stolen by Khaleen and turned over to Korto Vos. Zenex, however, was unaware that Vos had the disk, and when Khaleen contacted him to negotiate a deal for its return, Zenex agreed. Unaware that a copy was on its way to the Jedi Knights, Zenex met with Khaleen and told that he wouldn't kill her for the theft. Instead, he used his pheromones to attract her and persuade her to shoot herself. Vos managed to intervene before she could pull the trigger, and Aayla Secura was able to confront Zenex. She gave him the impression that she was falling under his chemical spell, then ignited her lightsaber into his chest. Zenex died instantly, and Vos was forced to meet with his Neimoidian contact in order to complete the transfer. A nudge with the Force allowed the disk to continue its journey without any problems. (RS) Zenji Needles these small, thin needles were ostensibly used to decorate elaborate hairstyles. They are beautifully lacquered in a multitude of colors. However, these reinforced projectiles were actually deadly weapons when used by trained beings. (SOP, GUN) Zenlav, Gustav this man was a General in the Mandalorian Mercs, several centuries before the Galactic Civil War. Zenlav started out a a grunt shock trooper, but he quickly distinguished himself from the standard rank-and-file. He was known for his innovative designs for weaponry and armor, and was generally credited with the creation of MandalMotors and the development of the Wing-Blast jet pack. (SWI80) Zenn an infamous bounty hunter. (GMH) Zeno, Jacome this swindler and conman worked on the planet Entralla, selling "atmosphere insurance" and other bogus commodities to unwitting natives. (SWJ4) Zenobah the second planet in the five-world Demophon System, Zenobah was destroyed when the system's primary star exploded as a supernova. (SN) Zenomach a huge boring device used by the Empire to drill for ore. (MMY) Zenoti Arms this weapons manufacturer was based on the planet Utapau. (VD3) Zenox Star Cluster this area of the galaxy supported the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (CSWEA) Zent, Pettyr this Imperial officer was in command of the garrison on Byblos, during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ9) Zeolosian this alien race was known for its technology. (MJH) Zephee according to Ewok legend, this wind spirit was known to warn Ewoks when a storm was coming. (GCG) Zephee this was a common name for Ewok females. Like other Ewok names, it referred to a spirit or character in the Ewoks' mythology. (GCG) Zephyr-G this model of swoop bike was produced by Mobquet some thirty years before the Battle of Naboo. It measured 3.68 meters in length, and was capable of achieved speeds in excess of 350 kilometers per hour. Designed for a single rider, the Zephyr-G could uncomfortably accommodate a passenger on the drive section. (X2, SWI64) Zeplin this was one of the many Victory-class Star Destroyers which were still active, as part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT) Zerek this is the twenty-sixth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "z". (SWM) Zereldspidar this Snivvian was the last of the truly evil leaders who were born from a twin-male birth. The breaking of the Blood Code gave him his evil tendencies. Zereldspidar was eventually defeated by Old Republic forces. (GG12) Zerm this tropical planet was continually wracked by typhoons and hurricanes until Renn Volz reclimatized it with his Ionic Ring. This first test of the ship's abilities was a resounding success, but attracted the attention of Captain Bzorn and the Empire. (CSWEA) Zero Leader Klyn Shanga's callsign during the Renatasian attack on the Millennium Falcon during the Imperial blockade of the ThonBoka. (LCS) Zero-1 this was the designation of the Q9-series astromech droid used by Kyp Durron, during the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Zero-1 had once been owned by a Mon Calamari philosopher, and was purchased at auction when Kyp went on his own, independent crusade against the Yuuzhan Vong. Zero-1 never truly had its memory systems erased, and continued to respond to Kyp's queries with rhetorical questions and probing dialogue. Kyp later explained that the droid's name was a joke on the philosophical belief that all life can be reduced to the binary code of zeroes and ones. (DJ) Zero-G Club this was a dance hall located on Cloud City, during the height of the New Order. (GMR3) Zero-G Troops see Spacetroopers (SWSB) Zero-Gee Hall located aboard The Wheel, this gladiatorial arena pitted combatants against each other in an arena which resembled the deepest reaches of space. Gravity was turned off, as were the lights, to simulate deep space. (ND) Zerot's Point this rocky outcropping overlooked The Puddle, and served as base from which Tilossa the Gotal protected the oasis and its town. Three old laser batteries were placed on the Point. (HAS) Zerpo this was a common name among the Toydarian race. (WOTC, UANT) Zersium an element used in the formation of dura-armor and durasteel. Strephan I'att and Daye Azur-Jamin discovered that zersium flecks, imbedded in the black body glove worn by stormtroopers, helped amplify the energy dissipation field they created for I'att Armaments. It also provided additional insulation and helped reduce thermal discomfort when the field absorbed a blaster bolt. (SWSB, TFE, CTD) Zesi Phinx this ancient Anzati female lived on the planet Coruscant during the last millennia of the Old Republic. Although no one could verify her story, Zesi Phinx claimed to have been on the planet for so long that her kills numbered in the hundreds of thousands. To most beings she encountered, Zesi Phinx was an amiable young woman who could tell vivid stories about events which occurred centuries or even millennia before. Most of her serach for prey occurred at the Outlander Club, where she scanned the clientele for her next victim. This gave rise to the rumor that an Anzati stalked the Outlander Club, although Zesi Phinx's true nature was never revealed. (CCW) Zeta 245698 Alpha this was the access code required to enter the Sith enclave that was maintained on Manaan during the height of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR) Zeta Five this Cha'a drone ship was owned by Ssk Kahorr, and was used to ferry supplies to, and ores from, the mining colony on Goluud Minor. It was the first ship sent by Ssk Kahorr to Goluud Minor via the Goluud Corridor. Loaded with supplies for the colony, Zeta Five came through hyperspace too close to Primus Goluud. The unstable star's gravity pulled the ship in and destroyed it. (GAS) Zeta One this ion cannon was developed by GenaTech, under the direction of the New Republic, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Despite its power, the Zeta One left behind a nano-scopic field of ionized particles, providing enemy sensors with a way to track the vessel what was firing the weapon. (SWJ6) Zeta Squadron the stormtrooper squadron sent to recover Jix for Darth Vader. Jix killed all but one member in a barroom firefight, and managed to knock the last member unconscious. (SST) Zeta Squadron the stormtrooper squadron sent to locate R2-D2 and C-3PO at all costs on Tatooine. Davin Felth was a member of the squadron, which was under the command of Captain Terrik. Zeta squadron destroyed the Jawa sandcrawler which had collected the droids, and razed the Lars homestead when it couldn't find the droids there. The final futility for Zeta squadron came when it failed to halt the launch of the Millennium Falcon. The firefight which ensued provided a cover under which Felth executed Captain Terrik. (TME) Zeta Zero Nine this frigid water world is located in the Wastes. Much of the landmass of the planet is in the form of treacherous islands, most of which are surrounded by unnavigable seas. The seas are dangerous because of three things: the intense tidal forces inflicted on the planet by its wide orbital path, icebergs, and extremely cold temperature of the water. An intense magnetic field limits the use of sensors near the planet, and no lifeforms have been discovered on it. The planet's day lasts 25 standard hours, and its year lasts 403 local days. Zeta Zero Nine was the site of Imperial Moff Jesco Comark's secret base, from which he developed the Death-Hunter cyborg assassin. (SWJ9) Zeta-class Shuttle this form of long-range shuttle was developed by the Telgorn Corporation for use by the Old Republic, and were originally planned for deployment aboard Victory-class Star Destroyers. However, with the advent of the Empire and the introduction of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, the Zeta-class shuttle was phased out in favor of the Lambda-class shuttle. The Zeta-class shuttle measured 35 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of front-mounted laser cannons. It was controlled by a pilot and co-pilot, and could transport up to ten troops and 25 metric tons of cargo. Because of their mission profile, Zeta-class shuttles were given Class One hyperdrives. (SWJ11) Zethan this was a common name among the Chev race. (UANT) Zethusian Plains this area of the planet Kamori was devastated by a huge earthquake, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. The resulting tidal waves and destruction kiled hundreds of thousands of Kamorians and damaged several large cities. (SWJ5) Zeus this Alliance MC40a was active during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT) Zeven this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9) ZeX555-TR349 this Old Republic probe was dispatched from Elrood Sector to Cegul Sector, but was believed to have been destroyed while passing through the Kuras Asteroid Field. (PG3) Zexx a large, humanoid alien race from the planet Prazhi, in the Expansion Region, these creatures had pointed heads which are covered in scales. Long, curved tusks extend from their mouths. Their violent nature made them a perfect addition to a mercenary squad or a protective guard, and they were often found working for Hutt crimelords. (TOJ, TOJC) Zey this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG) Zey, Arligan this Jedi Master assumed the role of an intelligence officer when the Clone Wars broke out. He was part of the team that discovered the development of a nanovirus by Ovolot Qail Uthan, and led the planning effort for a mission to capture Uthan on Qiilura. He was pleasantly surprised to learn that Etain Tur-Mukan had survived the mission, and was also impressed with the fact that she had grown during the period into a strong leader. In the wake of the successful mission, Master Zey and Padawan Tur-Mukan remained on Qiilura to help with the clean-up and to pave the wave for the Gurlanin to return to their homeworld as free beings. (RCHC) Z'fell this planet, located in Farlax Sector's Koornacht Cluster, was one of the original Duskhan League worlds. (SOL) ZG-35 this TIE FIghter intercepted Leia Organa and Hume over Phelarion.

Notable among their vehicles was the Tsmeu-6 personal wheel bike. (X3) Zgorth'sth this Mon Calamari served as a Commander in the Alliance's Intentions division, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Zgorth'sth discovered the build-up of the Oplovis fleet, just before it was scheduled to attack Mantooine. With the Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor, and the struggle to eradicate the Imperial influence, Zgorth'sth was promoted to Captain and took command of the New Republic's Department of Threat Assessment. (RASB, AIR, SWJ15) ZH-25 Questor a Starfeld starship design, the ZH-25 Questor followed on the success of the Z-10 Seeker. The initial design parameters for the ZH-25 were to eliminate the flaws in the original Z-10 design while reusing as much of the original design as possible. The ZH-25 added a pair of cargo pods to the main fuselage of the Z-10, doubling the amount of cargo it could transport. Weapons systems were also improved with the use of Taim & Bak pulse laser cannons, and shielding was upgraded with the use of a Sirplex P-12 generator. The Questor measured 22.4 meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It could carry up to six passengers and 85 metric tons of cargo. (SS) Zhaboka this was the Zabrak name for the Iridonian double-bladed fighting pike. (UANT) Zhaelor this is the Yuuzhan Vong word for "truth." Note that the New Jedi Order Sourcebook indicates that this term was the Yuuzhan Vong word for "glory." (VP, NJOSB) Zhaetor-zhae this is the Yuuzhan Vong phrase for "the glory of the Praetorite Vong." (VP) Zham Hlar this was the outermost planet of the Thaere System. The Thaereian Military maintained a large compound on the planet, during the Old Republic. (LFCW) Zhann this natives of this planet are generally considered entertainers, and their animated, story-telling puppet shows are famous throughout the galaxy. (GOF4) Zhanox this planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, in the heart of the Ivax Nebula. Known as a mining world, Zhanox was distinguished from many other worlds by its natural appearance. Nearly every square kilometer of the planet's landmass was studded with rocky spires, making the planet look like a huge pincushion. (WOA33) Zhar this gas giant was orbitted by two moons, Gall and Kile. It is located in the far Rim Systems. Secrets of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire notes that Zhar is in the same system as Tatooine. This contradicts Galaxy Guide 7: Mos Eisley, but might indicate that Zhar is located in the Arkanis Sector. Also note that the Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook names this planet Zahr, and places it in Cadavine Sector. (SE, SSE, SESB) Zhar Lestin this ancient Jedi Master was in charge of training new students at the Jedi enclave on Dantooine, during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War. He was also one of the Masters who helped students with the construction of their lightsabers. (KOTOR) Zharan Glass-snake this unusual reptile was almost completely transparent, making virtually impossible to see until it struck. (BP) Zhat Bug a particularly onboxious species of insect. (COG) Zhat Lah this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was placed in command of the small fleet which defended the planet Fondor, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When he heard the request for support from the forces in the Duro System, Zhat Lah too several ships and jumped to Duro. Once there, however, he realized that the New Republic attacks had been used as a trap, hoping to lure as many warships to Duro and trap them there. This would have provided two benefits: the destruction of Yuuzhan Vong ships at Duro, and the recapture of Fondor. Rather than throw his forces into a battle which would only end in their deaths, Zhat Lah ordered a retreat and fled Duro. He reported his return to Warmaster Nas Choka, who did not execute him for leaving the battle. Zhat Lah was commended for saving the remainder of his fleet, which would be used in later battles. (FP) Zheepho this Rodian served as a Lieutenant in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Zheepho was stationed on the planet Drongar, which did little to help his chronic case of smashbone fever. Something in Drongar's ecosystem awakened the disease, which had been dormant for years, and Zheepho spent a great deal of time in the hospital. (MJH) Zhell this ancient race was native to the planet Coruscant, during the planet's earliest period of civilization. Thirteen tribes of Zhell were united under a single, and coexisted for many generations before they were conquered by the Taungs. In an epic battle, the tide was turned when an active volcano erupted, spewing lava and ash into the sky. The main Zhell city was destroyed, wiping the Zhell out and leaving the Taungs victorious. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that the surviving Zhell fled to the southern polar region, where they buried themselves alive in the ice. Millennia later, explorers located these burial grounds, which eventually became known as the Ice Crypts.

When he encountered Lieutenant Janek Sunber and his troops, Ziering believed that he had finally found a young officer worthy of his position. When Sunber managed to get most of the group under cover after they stumbled into an Amanin takital, Ziering commended his quick thinking. Shortly afterward, Ziering was injured in a separate Amanin attack, and nearly lost an eye when a Juggernaut exploded in his face. This allowed Captain Gage and Commander Frickett to assume control of the compound, which proved disastrous when they were unable to anticipate the attack plans of the Amanin. Ziering's injury required surgery, which prohibited him from regaining control. In the meantime, Frickett was killed in an ambush, and Gage was unable to estimate the true strength of the Amanin attack force, leaving the Imperials with little hope of survival. However, Sunber came up with a plan that allowed the Imperials a chance of survival, and Ziering promoted him to Captain for his quick thinking and on-the-spot ideas.

Unlike the religious Clawdites, the Zolanders were known for their warrior caste and martial prowess. Many centuries before the onset of the Clone Wars, the Zolander people discovered that their sun had begun sending out stronger and stronger emissions of radioactivity. Scientists tried to trigger a long-dormant gene in the Zolander skin cell, hoping to activate a natural protection against the radiation. Unfortunately, the experiment failed to elicit the desire results. Instead, it triggered an ability to alter one's physical appearance, thereby creating the Clawdite race over the succeeding generations. The Zolanders ostracized the original Clawdites, and waged many civil wars to keep the changelings at bay. The Zolanders' hatred of the Clawdites deepened when the Empire blockaded Zolan and prohibited any travell off-planet, in a effort to keep the Clawdites under contro. As soon as the Empire was defeated at Endor, full-scale civil war broke out on Zolan. The Clawdites, however, were better prepared for war, and quickly subjugated the Zolanders.

This hope was eventually fulfilled when the Galactic Alliance, acting on the advice of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, allowed those Yuuzhan Vong who surrendered their weapons to live on Zonama Sekot.

(RP, UF) Zonama Sekot this planet was located in the Gardaji Rift, at the edge of the Tingel Arm, some 30 years before the Battle of Yavin. Zonama Sekot was just over 11,000 kilometers in diameter, and because of its proximity to three stars, a special three-pointed compass was developed by the original settlers. Old Republic records of some 200 years earlier indicate the system was nothing more than proto-materials, but many believe this was just a mix-up in the Republic's databases. It orbited a yellow star which was gravitationally bound to a red giant and a white dwarf, creating a unique triple-star system. The two other stars created a spectacular pinwheel of light in the planet's sky. Despite this unusual arrangement, the system was hard to find, being surrounded by the gases of the Gardaji Rift. The natives of the planet worked hard to keep their planet's location a secret, and visitors were accepted only by invitation. Zonama Sekot was unusually strong with the Force, and had been settled by several groups over the years, and the people of the planet were known for their incredibly fast starships. The planet was covered with an incredibly dense jungle which seemed to move and adjust to the planet's position. Zonama Sekot was settled some sixty years before the Battle of Naboo by two peoples, a group of Ferroans and a group of Langhesi. The original Magister of the planet, Leor Hal, placed the Ferroans upland, and the Langhesi in the lowlands, in order to maintain peace and use their skills to the planet's advantage. The name of the planet was first given by Leor Hal, and in the Ferroan language meant "World of Body and Mind": Zonama, indicating the physical world; and Sekot, representing the living world. It was also referred to as the Green Land by many beings who visited the world. The planet was, in essence, alive, although the original Magister believed that it was simply the will of the Potentium being manifested in the planet. He was unaware that his connection to the planet had actually awakened its own individual identity, with the Sekot controlling everything from weather to growth and death. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the planet was attacked twice. The first time, a group of Far Outsiders arrived from outside the known galaxy, looking for a new homeworld. Zonama Sekot seemed to be the perfect choice, since it was alive in a way that was similar to long-lost Yuuzhan'tar. With its new identity, Zonama Sekot tried to negotiate with the Yuuzhan Vong. However, anything the Yuuzhan Vong planted was destroyed by Zonama Sekot's native lifeforms, and the Yuuzhan Vong believed that they had been tricked. They launched an attack, which Zonama Sekot was able to repel with the help of the Jedi Knight Vergere. However, great portions of the southern hemisphere were damaged, and were still healing a year later. The second time, Wilhuff Tarkin tried to take control of the planet, hoping to present it and its wondous factories to Chancellor Palpatine. The natives managed to hold off Tarkin's small force. Unknown to everyone, under the guidance of the Sekot, the Ferroans and Langhesi had built huge hyperdrives into the planet's crust, and simply took the entire planet into hyperspace to avoid Tarkin's fleet. The planet was not seen again for many decades, having moved across the galaxy is search of a new home. It eventually settled in the Klasse Ephemora System, hidden behind a cluster of hyperspace anomalies. It was relocated during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy by Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Knights, as well as a Yuuzhan Vong attack force. Zonama Sekot managed to repel the Yuuzhan Vong, and allowed the Jedi to land. It then placed the Jedi through a series of trials to determine their true reasons for arriving on the planet, and eventually agreed to accompany the Jedi back to the galaxy to assist in the war effort against the Yuuzhan Vong. The sudden appearance of Tahiri Veila, Corran Horn, and the Yuuzhan Vong Nen Yim, Harrar, and Yu'shaa, nearly destroyed any hopes of actually winning the war. The group had traveled to the planet after Tahiri made a promise to locate the world for Hul Qat, the Shamed One who had found her on Dagobah. Yu'shaa, who was actually Nom Anor, managed to set and incubator deep within the neural network of the planet's hyperdrive system, hoping to set off a overload and destroy the planet. However, Sekot itself managed to locate the incubator and disable it. Rather than exploding, Zonama Sekot jumped deep into hyperspace, without any idea of where it was going. These jumps caused immeasurable damage to the planet's surface, killing off landmasses and forcing the inhabitants to flee underground. As Sekot finally regained control, it made its decision to continue with its attempt to end the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, made a hyperspace jump to the planet Coruscant. Brinigng itself into a position to eclipse the planet's sun, Zonama Sekot used its gravitational force to destroy the Rainbow Bridge and push Coruscant's remaining three moons out of position. The sudden appearance of the planet forced the Yuuzhan Vong military leaders to break off their attack on Mon Calamari and return to the Core to protect Supreme Overlord Shimrra and the Citadel. Zonama Sekot remained out of the main fighting, and forced those Jedi who had bonded with a Sekotan starship to only fly defensively. When Sekot realized that Shimrra had sent a dying coralskipper, infected with the Alpha Red virus, to destroy the planet, it reverted back to its original plan to "fight without fighting." All Sekotan ships were rendered useless, and Sekot deployed a swarm of grappler craft to bring down any ship it found in its airspace. The Magister Jabitha explained to the Jedi still on Zonama Sekot that the planet had chosen to bring the Yuuzhan Vong home, rather than harm them further. With the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi, the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered to the Galactic Alliance. The Jedi Knights convinced the fledgling Galactic Alliance to allow the surviving Yuuzhan Vong to live on Zonama Sekot, which was more their homeworld than any other race. The Alliance agreed, and after many of the Yuuzhan Vong returned from their postings to arrive on the planet, Sekot took Zonama and fled into the Unknown Regions. There, Sekot reasoned, the planet and the Yuuzhan Vong could become reacquainted without outside interference. (RP, DW, FH3, FP, UF) Zonaman this was the name used to describe the collective group of Ferroan and Langhesi colonists who settled the planet Zonama Sekot. (RP) Zonder this fur-covered Selonian was one of the many Jedi Knights who fought for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Zonder was the Padawan learner chosen by Barriss Offee, just before they were dispatched to Felucia to capture Shu Mai on Felucia. Their mission was part of the Republic's plan to capture all the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, in an effort to force Count Dooku to surrender. (ROF) Zonder this man was part of the hunting party arranged by Jameson and Lajar Weqill. Unfortunately, Zonder was killed by a pack of crazed draagax. (COG) Zone 19 this area of Farlax Sector is located on the edge of the Koornacht Cluster, nestled between the Cluster and the Core. It separates the planets Wakiza and Doornik-319. (SOL) Zone 90 East this area of Farlax Sector was located near Doornik-319. Leia Organa-Solo sent a number of X-Wing, B-Wing, and E-Wing squadrons there to cover for losses suffered during the Fifth Battle Group's unsuccessful blockade of the planet. (SOL) Zone Control this weapons manufacturer produced the Viper grenade launcher and other after-market add-ons for blaster weapons. They also produced security scanners. (CFG, ROE) Zone of Self-Containment developed by Jenna Zan Arbor from a base on Vanqor, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, this drug caused almost immediate unconsciousness when breathed by most humans and humanoid races. The drug was a liquid that was colorless and odorless, so it could be administered to prisoners without their knowledge when they were brought into a facility and bathed or given a drink of water. The drug acted quickly, putting victims to sleep and altering their mental conditions. Upon waking, victims found that anything that was bothering them no longer seemed to matter. Everything was right with the world, and any urge to fight against the things that bothered them was swept away and replaced with a sense of calm and peace. One interesting side effect of the Zone of Self-Containment - and part of Zan Arbor's continued research - was that the drug limited a Force-sensitive being unable to commune with the Force on any but the most basic levels. This was borne out when Anakin Skywalker was captured on Vanqor and drugged, some years before the Battle of Geonosis. The Jedi traced the Zone and Zan Arbor to Romin, where they discovered that Granta Omega and Roy Teda were supporting Zan Arbor's development efforts. The three criminals were trying to find a way to disperse the Zone without attracting attention, and had nearly perfected a water-borne delivery mechanism when they were forced off Romin. They nearly succeeded in developing a system at the Blackwater Systems facility on Falleen, but this facility was also discovered by the Jedi. (JQ7, JQ8, JQ9) Zone Supplies, Limited this manufacturer produced a variety of pressure plate trip mechanisms for the Empire. (CFG) Zoneball a Corellian sport which found a following at the various Imperial academies, zoneball involved two teams trying to place a ball into their opponent's goal. It was played in a low-gravity chamber, and the goals were often several meters above the ground. Junior leagues would use lower goals. (IJ, MBF) Zones of Territory C2 this collection of terrains and climates was located on the planet OM813. Students of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School had to pass through each and every section of this area in order to graduate from the survivalist course offered by Barosa Warren. In addition to the various jungle, desert, aquatic, flatland, and mountainous terrains contained within C2, there were multiple types of individual terrains as well. There were heavy-gravity mountains, ammonia seas, glaciers, swamplands, and even a zero-gravity chamber. (AIR) Zonju V this desolate planet was located on the far rim of the galaxy. Its surface was dominated by canyons and ravines dotted by sparse vegetation. (JKA) Zonnos Anjiliac Priare this Hutt, the eldest child of Popara the Hutt, was known to other Hutts as Zonnos the Lesser. He was known to have maintained a group of Wookiee bodyguards during the early years of the New Order. Dspite his familial connection to Popara, Zonnos operated to his own agenda, which sometimes conflicted with that of his parent. Specifically, Zonnos was angry and jealous that Popara gave so much attention to his other offspring, Mika, and was willing to do whatever it took keep Mika in the background of the Anjiliac clan's operations. When Mika was stranded on Endregaad, Zonnos arranged to have a group of Bomu clan Rodians waylay the resuce mission. When the Bomu failed and Mika returned to Nar Shaddaa, Zonnos feigned relief, but refused to admit to any connection to the Bomu. For their part, the Bomu also refused to admit to a link, claiming that they had been hired by a third party. In the wake of Popara's murder and Mika's flight from Anjiliac Towers, Zonnos assumed control of the kajidic. Unknown to Mika, Zonnos had been taking tempest, and he went into a killing rage after Popara's death. Zonnos captured the agents who had been working for Popara, and ordered their immediate interrogation and execution. Vago, however, secretly hired them to track down Mika and the source of the tempest spice. With the agents freed, Zonnos placed a significant bounty on their heads, in an effort to entice most of Nar Shaddaa into recapturing them. In an effort to avenge the death of Popara, Zonnos apprehended Vago and held the Hutt captive, using his H-3PO droids to set a trap for the agents. His trap managed to capture a handful of the agents, as well as Angela Krin and Mika himself. During the interrogation of the captives, Zonnos experienced one of the most intense tempest highs of his life, and he shouted and screamed at any being who talked to him. In the midst of the interrogation, however, the tempest became too much for Zonnos. His mind snapped, and he went into a killing rage. The agents managed to get free before Zonnos could have them executed, and they captured the slobbering Zonnos. This fit in well with Mika's own plans, as he now had eliminated the two Hutts in the way of his own control of the Anjiliac clan. (TF, WOTC) Zonnos the Great this Hutt was one of the most esteemed leaders of the Anjiliac kajidic, during the centuries leading up to the Clone Wars. (TF) Zonnos the Lesser this was a name used by other Hutts to describe Zonnos Anjiliac Priare, the eldest offspring of Popara the Hutt. The name was a reference to Popara's own father, who was known as Zonnos the Great. (TF) Zoochberry a small fruit used to make juice, pies, and a creamy drink. (GDV) Zoom II a speeder bike model manufactured by Incom Industries, it is similar in shape to the Aratech 74-Y. (SWSB, WG) Zoomball this sport was popular among the Galacians, especially the Hill People. (MOC) Zoomer this modified transport was used as a salvage ship by the Toydarian pilot Reti. (WOTC) Zoosha developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, this was a sheer, soluble fabric. (VD2) Zora this woman was one of Krayn's most trusted lieutenants, some four years after the Battle of Naboo. Zora and Rashtah the Wookiee were the point beings in many of Krayn's hijacking missions. Zora had joined Krayn's band a year before, and it was later revealed that Zora was a pseudonym, adopted by the Jedi Knight Siri Tachi. Siri had been sent on a mission to infiltrate Krayn's organization, and he had no idea that she was connected to the Jedi. When the slavers' ship was infiltrated by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had been accompanying a Colicoid convoy, Zora managed to trap Anakin aboard the ship while forcing Obi-Wan's small shuttle to abandon him. Zora claimed Anakin was nothing but a slave, then confiscated Anakin's lightsaber. Later, however, she revealed that the Zora identity was developed to get her inside Krayn's organization, and that she was still a Jedi Knight. (JQ) Zorad, Kiros this native of Arda-2 was under the control of Mag Doum, to whom he owed a great deal of money. Doum ordered Kiros to control Leia Organa while she was on the planet trying to resolve the puzzle of the T-6 diodem. Kiros and his son, Zon, tried to contain Leia at the Qualo's palace, but were forced to hide her in the Colla-Di caves after Luke Skywalker tried to rescue her. After Leia and Zon escaped from the kdak and Luke rescued them, Kiros decided to fight back against Doum. He exposed the criminal in front of the merchants and executives of Tun Wala, but was abducted by Imperial forces who had descended on the planet. Kiros was killed trying to attack Darth Vader. (CSWEA) Zorad, Zon Kiros Zorad's son, Zon accompanied Leia Organa into the Colla-Di caverns, after she had been captured on Arda-2. They were attacked by a kdak while inside the caverns, but they managed to squeeze into a small passage and escape. Zon was an excellent pilot, and took Cova's place when the Tun Walans fought back against the Empire. He flew an X-Wing against the Imperial fleet, but took severe damage trying to rescue his father. He then crashed his damaged ship into Darth Vader's Star Destroyer, sacrificing himself to drive off the fleet. (CSWEA) Zorak this Ewok was a former shaman, who was exiled from his tribe when he became an evil sorcerer. Zorak seduced Teebo into becoming his apprentice, preying on Teebo's own frustration at the pace of his training under Logray. Logray, upon learning of Teebo's plans, set out with Wicket, Kneesaa, and Latara to rescue him from Zorak. Zorak, however, captured the rescue party. This action broke the "spell" in which Teebo had been living, and he defeated Zorak in combat and freed his friends. (ECAR) Zoraster a planet. (JQ) Zorba Desilijic Tiure Zorba was Jabba the Hutt's father, a huge Hutt with stringy white hair and a white beard. The fact that he had hair at all, let alone a full head and beard's worth, made Zorba something of a mutant among his fellow Hutts. He kept his hair braided, in order to keep it from falling into his face. Zorba was 400 years old when he birthed Jabba, and taught Jabba everything he could about the politics of Nal Hutta's criminal organizations. Just as ruthless and conniving as Jabba, Zorba was imprisoned on Kip for illegally mining ulikuo gemstones when Jabba was killed on Tatooine. When Zorba was set free by a group of pirates who attacked Kip, he returned to Tatooine, hoping to join his son's empire. It was later discovered that Zorba's escape had been engineered by Ysanne Isard, in an effort to recapture Cloud City. When Zorba found that Jabba had been killed by Princess Leia, he immediately sought her out for revenge. On this path, he won Cloud City from Lando Calrissian in a rigged sabacc match. He then tried to swap the Jedi Prince Ken for Princess Leia, who was being held by Trioculus. Leia and Ken escaped, and Zorba had Trioculus entombed in carbonite. After capturing Leia on Hologram Fun World, Zorba tried to take her to the Great Pit of Carkoon, on Tatooine, to feed her to the Sarlacc. He was intercepted by the Grand Moffs, who unfroze Trioculus, captured Leia, and then threw Zorba into the Sarlacc Pit. Fortunately for Zorba, the Sarlacc spit him out. (ZHR, MMY, QE, ECH, HNN4, NEGC, WOTC) Zorba Express Zorba the Hutt's ancient, bell-shaped starship. It is in frequent need of repairs. (ZHR) Zorbazat Xong this Yevethan served as the Minister of Homeland Security on N'zoth, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He believed that learning the Basic language would help him understand his enemies, but it actually angered his fellow Yevetha to the point that they nearly exiled him. Xong proved hiw worth, however, and was allowed to continue his service. Xong agreed to turn over a Yuuzhan Vong spy, captured during the aliens' invasion of the galaxy, to the New Republic. However, rather than turning over a living being, Xong ordered that the spy be brutally interrogated and executed in front of the Republic's agents. Xong than declared that the spy's body could be "taken back to your vile masters." (CCW) Zorbia I this was the innermost world in the Zorbia System, located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9) Zorbia II this temperate planet, the second world in the Zorbia System, was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. It was home to a colony of humans whose language was an obscure derivation of the Corellian language, which led many xenoarchaeologists to believe the Zorbian population sprang from a long-lost Corellian colony. The Zorbian population had records which dated back more than a thousand years before the Galactic Civil War, predating the Old Republic's earliest excursions into the Moddell Sector. The planet's inhabitants were known as pirates and criminals who largely preyed on each other, although occasional ambushes in other parts of the sector were not uncommon. (GMR9) Zorbia III this was the third and outermost world in the Zorbia System, located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9) Zorbian this was the term used to describe the human population of the planet Zorbia II. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that these humans has a distant relationship to the Corellians, since their language seemed to be an archaic derivative of the Corellian language. (GMR9) Zorcha this alien being was a noted podracer during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. However, Zorcha never seemed to be able to defat Sebulba. (T14) Zordo this was a noted figure in the history of the Hutt race. (UANT) Zord's Atmosphere Baths this spa, located on the backwater world of Formos, provided a variety of steam and atmospheric gas baths for the beings who passed through the sector. (MCI1) Zoriis Bafka this Twi'lek male was one of Tatooine's most skilled swoop racers, during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR) Zorm, Dasar this man was considered the biggest racketeer on the planet Namore, during the height of the New Order. It was rumored that he was on the payroll of Imperial Prefect Gerom, but nothing was ever proven. (HR) Zorn, Duan this man was a corporate drone who worked for the Kazellis Corporation. When the corporation was nationalized by the Empire, Zorn stole the demostration freighter Longrunner and fled Kathol Sector, hoping to make a living as a freetrader. When he failed to pay his starport fees on Nigel III, Zorn was arrested on two counts: the original theft of the Longrunner, and his failure to make his payments. (SS) Zorneth this Ithorian is somewhat of a rogue, for he created a plot to take control of the galaxy. He wears a form of Ithorian battle armor, and protects himself with a group of guard droids; this show of force is yet another example of his roguish behavior. Zorneth is an expert in the fields of animal husbandry and botany, and was a contemporary associate of Klorr Vilia. When Vilia believed that he had created the universal herb, he invited to Zorneth to taste it. Zorneth declined, because he was a vegetarian and Vilia had seasoned meat with the new herb, savorium. Vilia then consumed the first taste, and was affected by the bliss-inducing properties of the herb. Zorneth took Vilia into his care, and eventually sorted through enough of Vilia's notes to deduce how savorium was propogated. Zorneth then realized that the affects of savorium would create a mindless workforce that could be exploited by the evil powers in the galaxy. He took Vilia into hiding, and began dosing warring peoples to test the strength of the herb. The results were astounding, and Zorneth tried to keep it secret. A small sample was stolen from Vilia's lab, and a group of Smilers was created. Zorneth moved to protect them, creating a Caretaker Virus to cause droids to protect Smilers around them. It was about five years after the discovery of savorium that Zorneth realized he could use it to subjugate the meat-eating species of the galaxy, paving the way for the peaceful vegetarians to control the stars. He began growing large amounts of savorium aboard his herd ship, and jealously protected it. At this time, he employed C-3PO as a translator and R2-D2 as a worker. The droids helped Zorneth defeat Dictator-Forever Craw, who had kidnapped Vilia in an attempt to steal the secret of savorium. However, Craw's forces pursued Zorneth's fleeing herd ship. This caused several of Zorneth's droids, including PDA6, to activate the self-destruct programs Zorneth created for use if capture was imminent. Zorneth pursued Vilia into the savorium grove as his ship's defenses destroyed the grove. Both Vilia and Zorneth were consumed in the explosion. (DRO) Zorneth this Ithorian surname was believed to mean "historian", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG) Zornog this red-skinned, insectile alien was native to the planet Sooma. Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, Zornog found himself the object of King Gokus' anger, when it was discovered that Prince Plooz of Alzar had stowed away aboard a freighter and ended up on Sooma. (MDCAR) Zoronhed this was one of the largest settlements established on the planet Zonju V. (JKA) Zorug Briefly this well-groomed being served as a holonews anchorbeing during the height of the Clone Wars. One of Briefly's most popular segments came after the apparent death of Jedi Master Yoda at Ithor, when Briefly talked at length about the possible future of the Jedi Order. (YDR) Zorzsin this was one of the most powerful Advozsec families, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Most of the family was killed when the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed Riflor. (GMR4) Zossi Belt this asteroid belt is located between Jun and Weken, the first and second worlds of the Faarlsun System. (WBC) Zo'Tannath this woman was a bounty hunter who preferred to wear Ubese battle armor. She often worked on retainer for Pok Nar-Ten, but usually made her services available to the highest bidder. Few beings ever saw her real face without dying, a mystique she cultivated to add to her prowess. Note that the Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates Zo'Tannath was an actual member of the Ubese race. (PSG, UANT) Zoth this common, albeit archaic, Zabrak surname meant "physician" - or, more literally, "fate guardian". (GCG) Zothip a Cavrilhu pirate captain from whom Niles Ferrier stole a number of patrol ships. Ferrier sold the ships to Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Zothip vowed to get revenge on Ferrier. Zothip was born on the planet Bestine, but settled his operation in the Amorris System. Zithip got his chance when Moff Disra offered him a supply of clones from Imperial storehouses in return for the production of a supply of Preybird-class starfighters. Zothip agreed to the deal, and used his clones to augment his pirate ranks. Using flash imprinting to give the clones the necessary characteristics, Zothip was able to send out a large force of pirates in a relatively short time. When the Cavrilhu tried to intercept a New Republic convoy at Iphigin, however, Luke Skywalker discovered the clones on one of the raiding ships. He went in search of the clones, infiltrating Zothip's base in the Kauron asteroid belt. It was at this time that Major Tierce, acting outside of Disra's approval, cut off the supply of clones in order to shore up Imperial defenses. Zothip agreed to continue working with Disra, and was in charge of the small fleet that tried to intercept Admiral Pellaeon at Pesitiin. The short battle resulted in the loss of one of Zothip's Kaloth-class battle cruisers, and Zothip travelled to Bastion to obtain compensation for the loss. Unfortunately for him, Karoly D'ulin was trying to tail Han Solo and Lando Calrissian when she stumbled upon the pirates. She followed them to Moff Disra's apartments, where Zothip demanded twenty million credits from Disra. Disra declined, and Zothip and his men tried to attack. Major Tierce managed to stop several of the pirates, and Karoly took out several more. Zothip tried to kill Disra, but Karoly buried a knife in his back and split his spine. (DFR, DFRSB, SOP, VOF) Zothique this elegant - and expensive - restaurant was located on Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. (MJH) Zoul this was the fourth of seven seasons experienced on the planet Guiteica. (AE) Zoul Lavor Xariv Lar this legendary Bitthaevrian warrior was a Major in the Guiteica Militia, and was best-known for his decades-long feud with Major Quaal Stavi Giniras. The pair fought each other more than 400 times, each time inflicting heavy damage to the other. However, both warriors were back challenging each other as soon as they healed. Over fifty years' time, Lar had defeated Giniras 212 victories to 211. Only the fact that Giniras died of old age stopped the rivalry. In the end, Lar took one of his own elbow quill and imbedded it in Giniras' dematoil, which he buried with Giniras in the hills of s'Korth'an. (AIR) Zoul Minchov Dwaeer this Bitthaevrian female was rumored to be married to Quaal Tavier Catharius. (AIR) Zoun Mauler this vicious predator was native to the planet Thonner, and was named for the fact that its primary territory was on the islands of the Great Zoun Archipelago. (GMR9) Zovaren this noted Snivvian poet was captured and enslaved by the Thalassian Slavers, but was eventually rescued by Old Republic forces. He later wrote, "There are two things in this existence that will always be - the void between the stars and the munificent Galactic Republic." (RESB) Z-Oz an Alliance modified Corvette captured during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) Z-Pata this group of Carrack-class cruisers was destroyed at a TIE Defender base during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) ZQ Infantry Droid developed by Sienar Intelligence Systems, this droid was created to serve as infantry support during ground battles. In this capacity, the ZQ was well-designed, and was considered one of the most deadly battle droids ever produced. Measuring about a meter in height, this cylindrical ZQ moved about on a repulsorlift engine and was armed with a heavy blaster cannon, a light blaster cannon, and a miniature concussion missile launcher. After the Battle of Endor, the Empire denied having any ZQs in active duty, despite their presence on many battlefields. (FTD) Zr-390 Narmox navigation computer used on the Z-95 Headhunter. (TIE) Zr-41 Sirplex shield generator used on the B-Wing. (XW) Zraii this Verpine was a member of the support team for Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron. He was from the asteroid Roche G42. He was in charge of keeping Rogue Squadron's X-Wings in tip-top shape, and he worked hard to keep from tinkering with the ships. His Verpine mentality often got the best of him, though, and small modifications were always showing up. As luck would have it, Zraii's modifications often improved the Rogues' performance. (XWN) Zrail this was the name of a distinguished Verpine individual. (UANT) Zrask this Bothan name was given to newborn males. Translated into Basic, it meant "hot-tempered." (GCG, WOTC) Zratha this New Republic Navy Lieutenant was one of Etahn A'baht's chief aides during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT) Zrim this young being was a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. (YDR) Z-Rok a group of modified CR90 Corvettes used by the Alliance, but destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) Zronta Grazer a beast native to the planet Pii 3. (SWJ6) ZRX-29 this is a model of airspeeder popular on Corellia. Inspector Sassich bought a red one when she was named chief of the Corellian Security Force. (IJ) Zsajhira the berries of this plant were edible, and were often mascerated and cooked into a sauce which complimented all sorts of poultry, especially uln bird. The zsajhira was native to the planet Socorro, where it thrived near underground water reserves. Perhaps the best-known use of the zsajhira berry was in the fermentation of Socorroan raava. (SWJ12, BSS) Zsall Dubrotin this female Advozse was the daughter of Zom Dubrotin. During the Galactic Civil War, she was also a secret ally of the Alliance, keeping the Alliance informed of activities in the Riflorii System. Later, when the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, Zsall assumed control of the Bomminde family, ensuring that they survived the attack on Riflor and helping any other Advozsec survivors reach safety. True to her nature, Zsall also provided the New Republic with any information gathered on Yuuzhan Vong fleet movements in the area. (GMR4) Zsing, Thak Val this grizzled, red-haired man was the leader of the Desert Wind terrorist group, which opposed the tyranny of the Five Families on the planet Ord Cestus, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. His grandfather was once a prisoner of the Cestus prison facilities, and he passed on a great deal of knowledge about the underground lair of the Five Families to his son and grandson. Thak Val Zsing took control of Desert Wind nearly thirty years before the Battle of Geonosis. A former history professor at one of Cestus' outlying schools, he found himself unemployed when the Families cut off all funding for social programs and utilities to the area in which he taught. In addition to his own hardships, Thak Val Zsing witnessed the troubles forced upon the families of his students. Rather than sit back and accept his fate, he began training soldiers for Desert Wind. After surviving the attack that left Desert Wind decimated, Thak Val Zsing hid out in the desert for many years, biding his time in order to once again regroup. He saw his chance when Jedi Master Kit Fisto and an ARC trooper known as Nate began recruiting locals for a chance to strike back at the rulers of Ord Cestus. He did his best to keep up with the new recruits, but deep down Thak Val Zsing was tired of fighting. He recognized that he was losing leadership of Desert Wind to Master Fisto, but he also realized that Desert Wind was finally striking back against the Five Families. After a successful terrorist attack on a power supply facility, he grabbed a bottle of Chandrilan brandy and got drunk. He was so inebriated that he failed to raise any alarm when he noticed a group of plastidroids and JK-series security droids infiltrate their base, fearing for his own life, and his lack of action led to the deaths of many Desert Wind fighters. In the aftermath of the raid, his mind snapped. He was eventually rescued, but was never the same again. He remained quite cognizent of his surroundings, however, and was one of the first to notice that the Five Families had retreated to their hidden bunker when the Nexu arrived in orbit around Ord Cestus. He agreed to assist Jangotat in infiltrating the compound, then decided to redeem himself by strapping an explosive device to his chest and entering the complex first. When he was surrounded by battle droids, he detonated the explosive, clearing the way for Jangotat to enter. (TCD) Zsinj a pudgy, balding man with a large gray moustache, Zsinj was a native of the planet Fondor. As an Imperial warlord who rose to power in the wake of the Battle of Endor, Zsinj controlled the Quelii sector. He served the Empire as Captain of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Iron Fist before the Battle of Endor destroyed the Empire. Zsinj decided to become a rogue, and fled Imperial service to carve out his own empire. In time, Zsinj proclaimed himself a Warlord and commanded one of the more potent forces opposing the New Republic. After several years, Zsinj managed to obtain possession of a Super-class Star Destroyer, which he renamed Iron Fist in honor of his first command. He began raiding New Republic supply convoys, and was a thorn in the New Republic's side. It was discovered that he was not in league with Ysanne Isard and her bid to control the Empire. In fact, Zsinj often tried to thwart her activities. It was during this time that Zsinj began wearing the all-white uniform of a Grand Admiral, even though he had never held the position in Imperial service, nor was he officially aligned with the Empire. A devious man and conniving man who held a great deal of emphasis on appearances, Zsinj often would drink non-alcoholic beverages with his subordinates, feigning inebriation to see how his people would react. Han Solo agreed to take a fleet and search out Zsinj in an effort to bring the warlord down and end his reign of terror. Zsinj remained one step ahead of the Republic's forces for several years before they managed to destroy the Razor's Kiss, a second Super-class destroyer being built at Kuat Drive Yards. Zsinj used the parts recovered from the Razor's Kiss to form the Second Death, and used the mock-up during the Battle of Selaggis. Zsinj was nearly defeated at Vahaba before fleeing to Selaggis, where Solo nearly destroyed him. In a bold move, he fled the battle behind a screen formed by Orbital Nightcloak satellites, then detonated the Second Death in order to fool Solo and the Republic into believing that the Iron Fist was gone. Zsinj himself fled the battle in a shuttle, completing the illusion. He then went into hiding at Rancor Base, on Dathomir, where he began planning his next assault. At Dathomir, Zsinj tried to force the New Republic into action by setting up an orbital nightcloak to freeze the planet and kill its inhabitants, but the Republic's forces were able to defeat the nightcloak and destroy the Iron Fist. Zsinj, who was on board the ship when it was destroyed, was killed. (CPL, WG, IF, SOC) Z-Slam this was one of the most challenging and dangerous races ever held on the Echnos Exhibitions Dome, rivaled only by the BlastBoat 2000. (SWJ4) Z'trop one of the most scenic planets in the galaxy. It is famous for its volcanic islands, wide beaches, and clear waters. (MMY) Zu this was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9) Zubindi Ebsuk this Kubaz chef worked for Beldorion, during the Hutt's early years on Nam Chorios. Zubindi was adept at genetically and hormonally manipulating insects, forcing them to grow many times larger than their normal size. This provided the Hutt with a ready supply of large, fleshy insects for appetizers or full meals. It was Zubindi who discovered how to grow drochs to larger sizes, and this discovery led to the emergence of Dzym as a power on Nam Chorios. Zubindi died soon after, when Dzym understood the power he wielded and used the Kubaz as a search of life energy. (POT) Zubintech this corporation produced droids during the last century of the Old Republic. (SWJ7) Zucca this large, tusked, porcine creature was native to the planet Tatooine. (ROD) Zuckuss a Gand bounty hunter employed by Darth Vader to find the Millennium Falcon. He descended from a long line of successful findsmen, and was one of the few young findsmen who left Gand to find work in the galaxy. He had a uncanny knack for finding his quarry, which he attributed to his adherence to elaborate and arcance rituals. Zuckuss joined the Bounty Hunters Guild shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and was partnered with Bossk on several training missions. They failed to recover Nil Posondum from Boba Fett, then failed to intercept Fett when he tried to join the Guild. Zuckuss was also involved in the acquisition of Oph Nar Dinnid from the Shell Hutts, another mission that resulted in failure. It was during this time that Zuckuss was also working directly for Cradossk, who hoped to eliminate his son Bossk before the younger Trandoshan could kill him. However, Zuckuss was also working for Bossk, and double-crossed Cradossk after returning from Circumtore. Several years after, Zuckuss had earned enough credits to purchase a heavily-modified starship known as the Mist Hunter, built by a consortium of Gands he led. He was hired by Jabba the Hutt, and was eventually paired with 4-LOM on many bounty missions. During one such mission, a female acquisition struggled to escape, and pulled off the mask Zuckuss wore to keep in the ammonia atmosphere he breathed. The reflexive breaths of oxygen he inhaled severely burned his lungs, and left Zuckuss disabled. Thus, he and 4-LOM began accepting Hunts on the side, trying to obtain enough credits to pay of new lungs. For this reason, Zuckuss and 4-LOM brought down Imperial Governor Nardix for the Alliance. This placed tem on the Empire's Most Wanted list, but Jabba retained them anyway. Jabba sent the two to Darth Vader as unofficial emissaries to the Empire, and they entered the Hoth System as the Battle of Hoth was concluding. The pair disabled the transport ship Bright Hope, in hopes of appeasing the Empire. After accepting the Hunt, they attempted to capture the survivors on the Hope, to turn them into the Empire for their combined bounties. However, the Alliance personnel managed to turn the two hunters from Imperial service. Zuckuss worked with 4-LOM and Toryn Farr to rescue the crew of the Hope, and they fled to the Alliance rendezvous point beyond the galactic core. There, the Alliance healed Zuckuss' lungs while accepting the two hunters into their ranks. General Rieekan enlisted the two hunters in the rescue attempt on Han Solo. They worked with several other hunters to intercept Boba Fett on Gall, but failed to recover Solo's body. Zuckuss himself was captured and used as Fett's stand-in, during the delivery of Solo's frozen body to Jabba the Hutt. Fett dressed the Gand in Mandalorian armor, and put 4-LOM's inert form on a repulsorsled. When they emerged from Slave I, Jabba's minions attacked them, only to discover their true identity as Fett held them off. Zuckuss managed to recover 4-LOM's body and have the droid restored to action, but a memory wipe was requried in order to get it working again. The operation left 4-LOM without any of its previous programming, and their collaboration was effectively finished. Zuckuss chose not to rejoin the Alliance, instead returning to bounty hunting. He did work together with 4-LOM once more, during the capture of Drawmas Sma'da, but only because 4-LOM needed someone to assist it in the capture. (ESB, EGC, CCG4, MTS, SE, SEC, TBH, MA, HM) Zud this long-nosed alien tried to steal the two gemstones which protected the Red Nebula from destruction, several years before the Battle of Yavin. Zud had been part of a group of smugglers and mercenaries gathered by Klysk to help locate the stones, but chose to keep them for himself.

(AIR) Zuliria Museum of Antiquities this musuem, located on the planet Zuliria, was known for its collection of primitive and outdated weaponry. It the forefront of its collection was its display of bladed weapons and swords.

However, Senator Zurros was one of the more corrupt Senators of the time, and had been playing the Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems in order to fill his own coffers with credits. Count Dooku ordered Quinlan Vos to assassinate Zurros as a display of Vos's loyalty and dedication to the Separatist cause. Vos, still a Jedi Knight despite his outward appearance, decided that he couldn't kill the Falleen. Instead, he cut off Zurros' topknots and recorded a plea for mercy from Zurros. Although Dooku was initially displeased that Vos did not return with Zurros' head, he realized that Vos's handling of the matter was much better. As Vos stated, Zurros would have been replaced by another Senator who was probably just as corrupt. With Zurros still alive and convinced of the threat to his life, Dooku had instead gained a new ally. (J4) Zut a male phlog, mate of Dobah and father of Nahkee. (ECAR) Zuth this dark-skinned man was a Jedi Master who was charged with training students in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. His primary student was his own Padawan learner, Tu'ala. Tu'ala often questioned the reasons that one person - especially a Jedi - would sacrifice themselves to save another. Tu'ala reasoned that all beings were equal in the Force, and that no one should have to die to protect another life. Master Zuth cautioned her that she was forgetting that each being had their own destiny, along with their physical form. 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) Zutton this tortured Snivvian painter lost his parents to Thalassian slavers, and joined a group of Iotran bounty hunters in an effort to strike back at the Thalassians. He eventually took up the bounty hunting trade himself, and was known by the monicker Snaggletooth. It was said that each time Zutton caught a bounty, he painted a picture dedicated to his target. His abilities attracted the attention of Jabba the Hutt, and Zutton performed a few jobs for the crimelord. Among them was the chore of trailing his own brother, Takeel, which rankled in Zutton's mind. He took out his frustrations by painting expressionist works of art depicting Jabba, hiding them in the hold of his ship, the Longest Winter. During the search for the accounting droid CZ-3, Zutton was ordered to shoot the droid with his blaster, blowing it to pieces after it provided Jabba with data on Opun Mcgrrrr's activities. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game describes Zutton as an artist who was driven to live out the stories he creates. Also note that the Jedi Knights Trading Card Game claims Zutton was a holojournalist. (GG12, CCG2, SWJ11, JKG) Zuulan Sentar this Gran slaver was captured on the Matale Grounds, on the planet Dantooine, during the height of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR) Zuur this male 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. Although Xora wanted to act swiftly, Zuur urged caution. They saw their chance when Vader arrived at Kopatha's asteroid, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Xora lured Vader to an auxiliary hangar, where the rest of the band lay hidden. Xora tried to shoot the Dark Lord, but his skills were too swift. He knocked her to the ground, prompting Zuur and his companions to emerge from hiding. 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) Zuxu a vicious, aquatic carnivore, the zuxu inhabited the lakes and rivers of the planbet Ganlihk.

Zuxu secreted a protective oil to keep their skin moist whenever they were out of the water. The mouth of a zuxu was long and pointed, and was filled with sharp teeth. Their ability to live out of the water for several hours gave the zuxu an advantage over other fish, in that it could hunt for food in an area which supported little aquatic life.

(IJ) Z-X3 this former Imperial combat droid was repaired by Kligson aboard his space station, and chose to remain on Kligson's Moon afterward. Z-X3 was originally built by TaggeCo as a prototype combat dorid that could operate in hostile environments were stormtroopers could not. Z-X3 was rejected and discarded, until it was repaired by Kligson. The droid then became the chief of security aboard the station, using his immense size and formidable appearance to quell any rebellious notions other droids might have. Z-X3 was humanoid in stature, with crimson plating and a head that resembled a stormtrooper's helmet. When Luke Skywalker arrived at Kligson's Moon just after the Battle of Hoth, Z-X3 discovered that the damaged warbot he brought still had its weapons head intact. The droid planned to use this head on another warbot Kligson had captured, creating a new combat droid which he hoped could be used to liberate he and his fellow droids from Kligson's control. Z-X3 shot Kligson himself, after Kligson was alerted to the revolt by R2-D2. However, Z-X3 was not aware that it had actually shot an android duplicate of Kligson, and was eventually destroyed in the massive battle that followed.

(SWJ10) Zygerian Slaver Syndicate see Zygerian Slavers Guild (GG10) Zygerian Slavers Guild this formerly-secret guild went public after the Empire legalized slavery under decree A-SL-4577.607.232. Membership in the guild was very disciplined, and members had to pay yearly dues in order to be allowed to take slaves. Each permit was issued for the capture of slaves in a given area of space. The Guild also branched out into bounty hunting, primarily as a means to obtain slaves. However, the Guild recognized no laws, and often resorted to outright banditry to further its own needs. Han Solo and Chewbacca once single-handedly attacked one of their slave transports and managed to free the slaves and drive off the Zygerians. They were so disgusted with the Zygerians for transporting slaves, that they turned the ship over to the freed slaves, cargo and all.

(DLS, DSSB) Zytho this man was one of the many settlers who worked the fields of the moon Sulon, during the early years of the New Order. It was in farmer Zytho's braal field that a reconnaissance droid from SoroSuub corporation landed and learned of the high mineral content of Sulon's crust.

One of the Deans was Horace Wyrmyr, who didn't particularly like droids. Zee-Zee later provided Mako Spince with the codes to the physics lab from which he stole the antimatter he used to destroy the Academy's mascot moon. Wyrmyr, upon learning that Zee-Zee had leaked his secret codes, ordered the droid recycled. After he was expelled, Mako recovered Zee-Zee, but he eventually lost the droid to Han Solo in a sabacc game. Han didn't know what to do with the droid, but kept it as a way of keeping his small apartment clean. ZeeZee was a bit eccentric, and basically did exactly what Han told her to do. When he left Nar Shaddaa after winning the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian, Han asked Zee-Zee to keep the place as it was when he left. The old droid did exactly that for many years, not allowing one, single, misplaced item to be returned to its proper place. Nothing was cleaned up, but was left as it was when Han left.
