Y164 this Thalassian slave ship measured 90 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of quad-laser cannons. (GG9) Y-4 Raptor a transport ship built by Incom, the Y-4 was designed for military duty. It was introduced to the Empire shortly before Incom was nationalized, and so never gained much popularity due to its assumed "Rebel" creators. Following the Battle of Endor, the Imperial Warlord Zsinj began using these ships as part of his Raptors squadron, thus the nickname Raptor became added to the Y-4 designation. At just under thirty meters, the Y-4 is a small ship. Its design is simple: a thin, deep body with basic engines and weapons. The unique thing about the Y-4 is its S-Foil-controlled wings, which aid the ship when dropping off cargo. Though small, the wings greatly stabilize the transport during military missions. The primary role of the Y-4 is the ferrying of troops and supplies between starships. It can accommodate up to forty troops and four AT-ST scout walkers. These can be delivered to docking bays or ground sites by via three folding access ramps on the left side. The military version of the Y-4 comes with a pair of forward-mounted laser cannons and a recessed concussion missile launcher. A civilian version of the Y-4 was eventually produced, lacking the weaponry, armor plating, and enhanced engines of the military version. (CPL, EGV) Y41-4LC this version of the Aratech Conjo Y41-C2LC fighter was similar in every aspect to the base fighter, but was armed with two additional laser cannons. (TBSB) Y41-C2LC Fighter this was the model number of Aratech's Conjo fighter. (TBSB) Y41-T this was the model number of Aratech's Conjo Trainer, designed to be a bit slower than the base Y41-C2LC fighter. (TBSB) Y4-E this silver-plated automaton was one of the many protocol droids used by the Metatheran Cartel, during the Cartel's attempt to take control of the economy of the planet Cularin, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Y4-E was later captured by the underground resistance that tried to thwart the Cartel's efforts. (EOS) Y60 this was a series of Thalassian cargo haulers. The ship was notable for the fact that its sublight drivers were mounted behind the central group of drive nozzles. (SOP) Y-8 this was a mining vessel that was produced during the last years of the Old Republic. The Y-8 was unusual in its shape, which resembled an upright blade. The main body was made up of a central spine that contained the cargo pods and a downward stabilizing fin, with the forward-jutting cockpit mounted atop the fuselage. The Y-8 was designed to carry the mining crew and ship's complement, as well as large amounts of raw material. It was also well-armed, since the Y-8 was marketed for the mining of valuable ores, and was also equipped with a group of mining lasers and tractor beams. For most missions, the Y-8 was self-sufficient, especially when used for mining asteroids and other orbital bodies. (SWGAL) Y-85 Titan this trapezoidal dropship was developed by Incom Industries to transport AT-AT walkers into battlezone. Each Y-85 could move four AT-ATs and four AT-STs into position. Many considered the Empire's use of the Y-85 Titan as a necessary evil, since it was a group of Incom engineers who provided the plans to the T-65 X-Wing starfighter to the Allaince. (IWST) ya Sethes this muscular, gray-haired Adumari woman was the General in command of Yedagon's armed forces, during the civil war against the nation of Cartann. (SOA) Yaai a Carrack-class cruiser used by the Alliance, it was destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) Yaana this Senali girl was the first-born child of King Meenon. She was sent to the planet Rutan on her seventh birthday, as part of a generations-old agreement to maintain peace between the two worlds. When Prince Leed of Rutan refused to return to his homeworld at the age of sixteen, King Frane of Rutan threatened to throw the ten-year-old girl into prison until Leed returned. When Leed refused, Frane placed Yaana in jail until the Jedi Knights, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, tried to convinced Frane of Leed's desire to remain on Senali. The Jedi staged a daring rescue of Yaana, in order to ensure the girls safety. After negotiating a new peace between King Frane and Meenon, Drenna agreed to remain on Rutan so that Yaana could be with her family. (SP) Yab one of the family names used by the Bothan people, it literally meant "shipwright". Although it referred to starship builders, the name may have had earlier, more terrestrial origins. (GCG, WOTC) Yabaley this young Jedi Knight trained with Klin-Fa Gi and Bey Gandan, and was part of the team which traveled to Wayland to discover what the Yuuzhan Vong were doing on the former Imperial world. Yabaley was attracted to Klin-Fa, a fact that rankled Bey's conscience. When they trio was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, Yabaley died during an extended session of torture and interrogation. (SWI64) Yabbo a slang term used by Lando Calrissian to refer to bounty hunters. (SE) Yabeley when Klin-Fa Gi killed a Yuuzhan Vong warrior in battle of Bonadan, she claimed that his death avenged Yabeley. Uldir Lochett never understood who or what Yabeley was. (EOV, GMR9) Yablari the primary planet in the Yablari System, Yablari is the homeworld of the Anomid race. A severe, planetwide drought forced the Anomid to begin colonizing other worlds in the system. (GG12) Yabosta a planet, Yabosta was orbited by the moon Skalokor. (GMR10) Yacha neechu! this Huttese command translated into Basic as "Take him/them away!" (GMR5) Yada Munda this was a noted figure in Aqualish history. (UANT) Yadag dakl, ignot! this was one of the most venomous curses used by the Yuuzhan Vong. (NJOSB) Yadda this was the Jawa word for a rodent. (T10) Yaddle this female Jedi Master was a member of the same species as Yoda. She was just 477 years old at the time of the Battle of Naboo, and was a member of the Jedi Council. Some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo, Yaddle was apprenticed to Polvin Kut. They were dispatched to eliminate the threat of the Advozse warlord Tulak on the planet Koba. Polvin Kut was killed in the struggle, and Yaddle was imprisoned by Tulak. Yaddle was buried alive, and only her discipline and attention to the Force kept her alive. She grew strong with the Force, never succombing to anger or hatred, and was eventually freed when seismic activity split Koba's crust. The natives revered her, but were totally unprepared for the appearance of Tulak's son, Kalut. Her control of the Force allowed her to defeat Kalut and finish the work she and Polvin Kut started. Upon her return to Coruscant, Even Piell proposed her promotion to Jedi Master and appointment to the Jedi Council. One of her foremost critics was, in fact, Yoda himself, who believed that the promotion of a padawan to Jedi Master was againts the Jedi Code. However, Yoda was the lone dissenting vote when her membership to the Council was debated, and her membership was approved. She was known on the Council for her patience, compassion, and wisdom, and was one of the few Jedi entrusted with the knowledge of mortichro. She took a delight in the training of the younger students, often overlooking their pranks and hiding sweets in their pockets. One of Yaddle's apprentices was Empatajayos Brand, and she dedicated much of her time on Coruscant to heading up the Jedi library. Seven years after the Battle of Naboo, Yaddle led a mission to the planet Mawan, with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker assisting her. Their mission was to negotiate the establishment of a new government there, following a decade of civil war. Unknown to the Jedi, however, was the fact that the most powerful crimelord on Mawan was actually Granta Omega. In the guise of Striker, Omega hoped to lure a member of the Jedi Council to Mawan and kill them, in an effort to impress the Sith Lord he believed to be gathering power in the galaxy. Omega captured Anakin and held him hostage, demanding a meeting with Yaddle. She agreed, and discovered that Omega was planning to unleash an explosive filled with dihexalon gas. Rather than allow the weapon to be exploded in the city of Naatan, Yaddle drew the weapon to herself and wrapped it in a cocoon with the Force. The weapon imploded, rather then exploded, as Yaddle drew the dihexalon into herself. The deadly toxin took its toll, however, and Yaddle was killed instantly. Her body disappeared as Anakin watched, but the population of Mawan was safe. Unfortunately for Anakin, the young apprentice felt deeply saddened by her death, a death that he felt responsible for and should have prevented. Yaddle was portrayed by Phil Eason in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1, SWDB, T5, JQ6, JQ7) Yadfre this Trandoshan served as the Personnel Liaison for the Gadrin police force, during the early years of the Clone Wars. (LFCW) Yaff this was the name of a noted Spiner individual. (UANT) Yafullkee this Huttese word translated into Basic as "meal." (GMR5) Yag Shushin this Givin male was enslaved by the Witches of Dathomir during the era following the Battle of Naboo. He befriended Quinlan Vos, and helped the Jedi Knight discover the true nature of Zalem and the Witches. Yag then stole one of the Witches' subterine vehicles, only to find himself face to face with Ros Lai. She explained that she needed his help to rescue Quin, and Yag agreed to help. They managed to use the subterine to infiltrate Zalem's camp and retake Vos, who had learned from the Kwa that he was now the guardian of the Star Chamber on Dathomir. Yag was later killed when Quin and Ros Lai tried to follow Vonya inside the Star Chamber. They craft was shot, and Yag was caught in the explosion of the command console. Every bone in his exoskeleton was crushed, and his internal systems failed. His death saved Quin and Ros Lai, though, allowing them to continue their pursuit of Vonya. Quin later avenged Yag's death by killing Vonya. (SWIE) Yaga this Yuuzhan Vong word translated into Basic as "what," and was most often used to ask another individual to clarify what they had just said. (SBS, NJOSB) Yaga Minor the planet from which the Outbound Flight Project was launched during the Old Republic, Yaga Minor was the sight of an Imperial Ubiqtorate base and shipyard following the Battle of Endor. According to Rebellion, Yaga Minor is located in Sesswenna Sector. The Ubiqtorate base was housed in an orbital space station which had a unique design. Extending outward from the main station were a pair of corridor tubes that connected to outrider computer stations. This design, according to Imperial documents, allowed civilians to have access to information stored at the base, while keeping them out of the military section of the station. Grand Moff Tarkin maintained an extensive database at Yaga Minor, and wanted to ensure that his private files were never found. The Imperial presence on Yaga Minor remained strong until the New Republic stormed the Ubiqtorate base in hopes of finding a copy of the Camaas Document. After the battle, in which the Republic's forces were thwarted until Talon Karrde showed up with a fleet of his own, the planet was turned over to the Imperial Remnant. The planet was then placed under the control of Moff Kurlen Flennic, who protected it jealously during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After the lossed of Bastion and Muunilinst, Moff Flennic feared for his holdings. (DFR, TLC, REB, SOP, VOF, TTSB, FH1) Yagai this is the native race of the planet Yaga Minor. They were considered a commodity by the Empire, which genetically altered groups of Yagai to be strong and to survive in harsh atmospheres. They were also quite intelligent, and were often used as starship mechanics. There are two distinct subspecies of Yagai: the intelligent stock, and the moronic drones. The drones are easily distinguishable by their purple skin and wild, yellow hair, and each Yagai had a pair of nine-fingered hands. All of the fingers on one hand were mutually opposable, giving the Yagai extremely variable dexterity. The intelligent Yagai regard the drones as non-citizens. (SOP, TTSB) Yagaran Aleudrupe this plant produced a spray berries each year. When fertilized with the nutrient-rich slime exuded by the Morodin, these berries can be crushed and used as a catalyst in boosting blaster firepower. The enhanced berries rival spin-sealed tibanna gas in their ability to increase blaster firepower. The Krish Gamgalon herded Morodins into his aleudrupe fields by hunting them on safaris, until his operation was exposed by Talon Karrde. (SWJ2, WOA33) Yagaran Four this group of bounty hunters plied the Outer Rim during the early years of the New Order. They employed the Krish known as Maniac as their chief mechanic. During the hunt for a quarry near Elin Roe, Manic tinkered with the drive systems of the gang's YT-1300 freighter to help increase its power and speed. The improvements resulted in disaster, as the hyperdrive exploded upon activation, killing the Yagaran Four. The resulting explosion spread a cloud of radioactive dust over the fifth moon of Elin Roe. (CRO) Yag'Dhul homeworld of the Givin, this is a small, dense planet with three moons. The moons exert intense gravitational forces on the small planet because they orbit in the opposite direction from Yag'Dhul. Yag'Dhul itself has a retrograde rotation of 175 standard hours, while the moons orbit the planet once every 53 standard hours. Thus, a month on Yag'Dhul is actually 122 hours shorter than its day. This sets up huge tidal forces that continually shifts its oceans and atmosphere from one side of the planet ot the other. This results in the displacement of the atmosphere and water around the planet, creating pockets of hard vacuum in certain areas. Many of the planet's lifeforms have simply survived by traveling with the tides, while the Givin have adapted by growing flexible exoskeletons that protect them from vacuum. They also developed hermetically-sealed cities that ensured a constant atmosphere,even during periods of low pressure. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Nom Anor infiltrated the ranks of the Givin and planned to subjugate the system for use as a staging area from which to attack the Core. These plans were nearly thwarted when Corran Horn, Anakin Solo, and Tahiri Veila obtained control of the Stalking Moon and got inside the Yag'Dhul defenses. Eventually, though, the Yuuzhan Vong defeated the Givin resistance and took control of the system. Their control of the system was short-lived, however, as New Republic forces eventually defeated the alien invaders and recaptured the planet. (TLC, GG4, BW, EVR, FP) Yage, Arien this woman was a Captain in the Imperial Navy, serving under Gilad Pellaeon during the early decades of the New Republic. Captain Yage was in command of the Star Destroyer Widowmaker during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was also one of the few officers who gladly accepted the assistance of the Republic after the Imperials were soundly defeated at the Battle of Bastion. After B'shith Vorrik and the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated at the Battle of Borosk, Captain Yage volunteered to escort Luke Skywalker's mission into the Unknown Regions to locate the mysterious planet of Zonama Sekot. Grand Admiral Pellaeon agreed to the proposal, and the group set out for the Unknown Regions. When Zonama Sekot was finally located, Captain Yage and the Widowmaker remained in orbit to protect against any possible Yuuzhan Vong attack. That attack came shortly before Nom Anor sabotaged Zonama Sekot's hyperdrives, when a small ship arrived to recover the Executor. The small ship evaded the Widowmaker's sensors and slipped to the planet's surface to recover Nom Anor before fleeing. Captain Yage was unable to stop the ship, and was unprepared for Sekot's reaction to the sabotage. When the living planet suddenly jumped into hyperspace, the Widowmaker was caught in its wake. Both the planet and the ship disappeared, although Zonama Sekot eventually reappeared near Coruscant. No sign was found of the Widowmaker, and Captain Yage's fate - along with that of her entire crew - remained a mystery. (FH1, FH2, FH3, UF) Yagen, Bovo this Imperial Captain defected from the planet Coruscant during the Galactic Civil War and fled to the Corellian Sector with his wife and four boys. They ended up on a jungle planet just off the Corellian Trade Route, where they eventually befriended the native humanoids and developed a decent-sized outpost. The natives accepted them into their society, and eventually named the planets and asteroid belt in their system after him and his family. (CTD) Yagen, Framesk one of Bovo Yagen's sons. (CTD) Yagen, Heloan this woman was Bovo Yagen's wife. (CTD) Yagen, Marenn one of Bovo Yagen's sons. (CTD) Yagen, Tava one of Bovo Yagen's sons. (CTD) Yagen, Trellar one of Bovo Yagen's sons. (CTD) Yaggie this small, winged reptile was native to the desert world of Greater Marianas. They were hunted for their flesh and hides. (T10) Yagmar an Alliance shuttle group destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE) Yago, Mellor this young man served as a Lieutenant in Rendili's homeworld defense force during the height of the Clone Wars. He was adamantly loyal to Rendili, in seeming opposition to his commanding officer, Captain Jace Dallin. Dallin had served the Old Republic during the Stark Hyperspace War, and questioned his government's choice in joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Lieutenant Yago had no such division of loyalties, and engineered a mutiny aboard the Mersel Kebir when Dallin tried to turn his fleet of Dreadnaughts over to the Republic. He had Dallin and Jedi Master Plo Koon arrested and thrown into the brig, to be held as hostages until the Republic's forces withdrew from Rendili, or until Separatist reinforcements could arrive. However, when Saesee Tiin refused to leave Rendili, Yago threatened to kill Plo Koon and the other hostages. When the reinforcements arrived, the Republic's warships opened fire on them all, working to ensure that the Rendili fleet did not fall into the hands of the Separatists. Yago planned to try a linked hyperspace jump away from Rendili to escape, despite the problems encountered by the Katana and her fleet. After Anakin Skywalker disabled his flagship, Yago found himself face-to-face with Dallin and Koon once more, after they were freed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos. Yago attempted to fight his way free, but Dallin shot him dead before he could flee. (RDR) Yahja this was a common name among the Zeltron people. (UANT) Yahk-Tosh this slug-like alien race was similar in appearance to the Hutts, but were more insectoid. They had six thick arms which they used to move about, and their scaled skin was a dirty green in color. Four thin horns sprouted from the tops of their heads, and their pointed snouts were filled with rows of serrated teeth. It was believed that the Yahk-Tosh were resistant to the mind tricks of the Jedi Knights. (SWS) Yahrkar, Vohrkrewel this man worked for Jorkatt the Render during the early years of the New Republic, buying and selling information with the Empire and the Republic. He was wanted in every system in the sector. He was a tall, thin man with bird-like features. He often used the alias of Krovas to perform his business. (POC) Yak Face the derogatory term for the Yarkora race. (ROTJ, CCG7) Yaka a race of almost-human cyborgs, altered centuries ago by their neighbors, the Arkanians, to be smarter via cyborg implants. They are expressionless beings, having been significantly altered by the technology which dominated their bodies. It is believed that they were originally humans or humanoids from a planet near Arkania, and that the technologically advanced Arkanians took pity on them. To help them along, the Arkanians began implanting cybernetic replacements in their brains, hoping to give the Yaka heightened intelligence. The procedures worked, and the average Yaka of the modern era is vastly more intelligent than they appear. (DE1, EGA) Yakan this was the native language of the Yaka race. (EGP) Yakaro, Macy this rotund man was one of the many independent pilots who made a meager living the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, during the early years of the New Republic. He supplemented his income by working as a tour guide on the Forest Moon of Endor, offering his services to the visitors who passed through Salfur's Trading Post. He sold his services to a group of treasure-seekers who were following the story of the pirate ship Skewer, in search of the Ayrou Tessent, but he was captured by a tribe of renegade Ewoks who captured him and cooked him alive over an open fire. (GMR9) Yakez this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was the flagship of the New Republic's Fourth Battle Group's Task Force Apex. It was under the command of Farley Carson during the Black Fleet Crisis. During the Battle of N'zoth, the Yakez was caught between two Yevethan Aramadia-class thrustships. They combined their firepower at the ship's forward hull. When the bow shields collapses, the Yakez's forward weapons hold ignited. The ship was broken in two by the explosion, and all hands were lost. (TT) Yakun Kwaad this Yuuzhan Vong male was a Shaper who was accused of practicing heretical activities aboard the worldship Baanu Kor, during the travel period between galaxies. Yakun and Nen Yim had tended the mernip breeding pools aboard the ship, until Yakun was captured and taken away. (EVC) Yakuta this Huttese verb translated into Basic as "to move." (GMR5) Yal Phaath this male Yuuzhan Vong was the Master Shaper who was picked by Warmaster Tsavong Lah to investigate the source of a Jedi Knight's strength. Yal Phaath was distinguished by the yellow maa'its which he had implanted in place of his natural eyes. Master Phaath also oversaw the Shapers who were sent to Myrkr to work on discovering the Force-nullifying abilities of ysalamiri. Later, Yal Phaath was in command of the defenses aboard the worldship Baanu Rass, protecting the development and production of voxyn. He hated the fact that the Warmaster did not provide any form of defense for the voxyn breeding facility, especially after the Jedi were able to destroy the queen and escape. Yal Phaath was eventually transferred back to Coruscant, which had been reformed into a simulacrum of long-lost Yuuzhan'tar, where he was placed in charge of resolving the strange changes which were occurring as the World Brain made subtle alterations. (EVC, SBS, FH3) Yalandross PowerMasters this weapons manufacturer specialized in a variety of vibrobladed daggers and knives, including a series of double-bladed weapons. (FOP) Yalara this planet was once the homeworld of primitive species that was not ready to be integrated into galactic society. For this reason, the Jedi Master Brodel Kel Verdox harnessed the power of the planet to create a cloaking device, hiding the entire planet from discovery. However, some ten years after the Battle of Endor, the planet was discovered by Imperial forces that were allied with the Disciples fo Ragnos. Jaden Korr was dispatched to the planet to ensure that the cloaking device didn't fall into the wrong hands. He managed to defeat the guards and destroy the device, ensuring that the technology was never put to another use. (JKA) Yald this New Republic heavy cruiser was the flagship of the fleet assembled to attack the Yuuzhan Vong at Corellia. The plan was to have the Yald, under the command of Commodore Brand, lead a mixed fleet of Republic and Hapan ship to Corellia and attack the Vong before they could launch their own assault. The entire plan hinged on the Vong attacking Corellia, which turned out ot be a feint when they actually took Fondor. In the wake of the Battle of Fondor, the Yald was recalled to the planet Calamari, to serve as part of the planet's primary defense net. (JE, UF) Yalln an industrial planet. (AIR) Yal-Noy this was one of the tallest peak found in the Dashta Mountains, located on the planet Ord Cestus. Because the top of Yal-Noy was often covered in snow, runoff created a swift-flowing river that brought water to the lower plains of the Zantay Hills. Thus, the hills were among the greenest areas found on the otherwise desert-covered planet. (TCD) Yamele Polidor this female Rindian was a scientist who knew Jenna Zan Arbor. Yamele was invited to Jenna's party at Didi Oddo's café, and knew most of the guests except for Reesa On and Dobei Eranusite. (EVE) Yammka this Yuuzhan Vong warship served as Nas Choka's flagship, during the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. (JE) Yammka's Mount this was one of the many Yuuzhan Vong warships which was called to the planet Coruscant - remade into a new version of the planet Yuuzhan'tar - just before the alien invaders launched their all-out attack on the Galactic Alliance's stronghold on Mon Calamari. The Yammka's Mount was bedecked with the pennants of Warmaster Nas Choka, who commanded the assault fleet from ths ship. However, before the assault force could complete its mission, Zonam Sekot suddenly reappeared near Coruscant, and the fleet was called back to Coruscant to form a protective barrier between the Yuuzhan Vong capital and the living planet. This gave the Galactic Alliance an opportunity to launch a counter-attack, this time aimed at recovering Coruscant. During the battle, Nas Choka and the Yammka's Mount were ordered by Supreme Overlord Shimrra to escort a Slayer coralskipper from its position in orbit around Coruscant to Zonama Sekot. This particular coralskipper had been the solo survivor of the force which was present on Caluula when the Alpha Red virus was unleashed on the planet. Shimrra hoped to turnt he tables on the Galactic Alliance by using any surviving virus to destroy Zonama Sekot. The mission took its toll on the Yammka's Mount, as it was pounded mercilessly by the forces of the Galactic Alliance. (UF) Yammosk this Yuuzhan Vong bio-creation was known among the elite warrior class as the war coordinator. The creature, with its bulbous head and array of tentacles, served to coordinate all activities of an invasion fleet toward a single goal. The creation of the first yammosk took many centuries, but in the end the creature proved to be a valuable asset. It could coordinate landing operations, starfighter battles, and even full-scale seiges. It had a virtually limitless supply of energy. The creature's only solid bodily structure was a single tooth, hidden with boneless flesh. The tooth was used to bury itself into a landing area, and was driven against the ground with incredible force. Eventually, it could break through even rock and ice, and the yammosk would then insinuate itself into the created crevasse and begin coordinating the invasion forces. Any enemy ships that got too close to the yammosk's position would be rendered inoperable by the intense energy the creature used to bind the Yuuzhan Vong forces together. Like most Yuuzhan Vong technology, the yammosk kept track of other Yuuzhan Vong starships by tracking their unique gravitic signatures. The only drawback of the yammosk was that, if it were ever severely injured or destroyed, the Yuuzhan Vong war force would be without any guiding force and would collapse in chaos. A Yuuzhan Vong prefect or other ranking official could commune with the yammosk by gently touching the thick, blue vein that ran between its eyes. Once the yammosk was entrenched in its new position, it could spawn a second yammosk to assist in the establishment of the next Yuuzhan Vong base. The parent yammosk would form a mental link with the offspring, transferring all knowledge it would need to act as the next war coordinator. However, the immature yammosk still had to grow strong, and the Yuuzhan Vong discovered that they grew faster if they were in contact with living bodies. Thus, the Yuuzhan Vong began capturing beings and forcing them to remain in the nutrient vats with the yammosk, giving it ready contact with life-energies. One additional benefit of this contact was that the yammosk could sense the presence of the Force, which allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to recognize the presence of a Jedi Knight in their midst. After the New Republic began to search out and destroy the yammosk at the heart of an invasion fleet, the Yuuzhan Vong began to train their pilots to act without a yammosk's guidance, giving the pilots more authority over the actions of their ships in case a yammosk was destroyed. (VP, JE, DJ, DW, UF) Yammosk Action this was the codename used to describe any attempt by the Jedi Knights to capture a live Yuuzhan Vong yammosk, as part of the Eclipse Project. (SBS) Yam'rii an insectile race. (EGD) Yam'rii a mantis-like alien race, the Yam'rii are extremely strong. They are meat-eaters. They are known as stealthy hunters, and have a good deal of technological aptitude. (CCG, SWDB) Yan Vrees this male Gran was known con artist who made a name for himself as a card shark and smuggler in the Outer Rim Territories during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He once lost a large sum of credits to Jabba the Hutt in a sabacc match, then skipped out before paying off his debts. Jabba issued a bounty for his capture, which Jango Fett managed to claim when he located Yan Vrees on Malastare shortly after the Battle of Naboo. (BH) Yanci this young woman, a native of the planet New Apsolon, was a medic who worked for the Rock Workers some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Yanci's skills were quite good, and it was her presence in the Rock Worker camp that helped Obi-Wan Kenobi recover from a leg wound, during the Jedi's efforts to discover Balog's true motives. Yanci was in love with her fellow Rock Worker Kevta, and was jealous of the bond Kevta shared with Bini. When Balog's forces attacked their base of operations, Yanci was dispatched to ask the Jedi for help. While she was away, the entire group of Rock Workers was killed, including Bini, Kevta. Yanci decided to remain at the outpost and bury the dead, and eventually moved to the city to live with the Workers there. She later obtained information on Oleg's activities, and provided it to Obi-Wan. (DOH, CTV) Yander this man was a miner who worked on Ord Cestus during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. After his first wife died and left him with three children - Tarl, Tonote', and Mithail - Yander struggled to make ends meet until he met Sheeka Tull. They fell in love and got married. Unfortunately, Yander died for years later. (TCD) Yander an Alliance YT-1300 that fled the Battle of Hoth, but was later captured in the Javin Sector. (TIE) Yandi this was the Snivvian word for "yesterday." (HNN5) Yane this was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9) Yane' this Naboo girl was the youngest of Queen Amidala's handmaidens. Like the other handmaidens, Yane' was chosen by Captain Panaka for her strength, loyalty, and resemblance to Amidala. Yane' and Sache', being the youngest of Amidala's handmaidens, were left behind when the Queen traveled to Coruscant to petition against the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo. Yane was portrayed by Candice Orwell in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, JQA) Yanglan, Denno a native of the planet Cridark II, this Imperial Medical Supervisor was in charge of the interrogation of Orn Belden, during the Bakura Incident. Despite his professional attitude, Yanglan regularly sent a portion of his paycheck back to his family in order to help them survive. After the Battle of Bakura, Yanglan and his friend, Rafe Shahverdian defected to the New Republic, primarily because he was haunted by the memory of Belden's death. He found himself being pursued by Mayr Stillman, and hoped to return to Cridark II to protect his family. He boarded the Wayfaring Stranger and tried to get home, but the ship was ambushed by an Imperial patrol ship which had been in contact with Stillman. However, a team of Alliance agents on board the ship managed to capture Stillman, allowing Yanglan to return home. (TBSB) Yani this woman was one of the Dathomirian Witches who served matriarch Zalem during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWIE) Yanna kuzu peekay this Jawa phrase translated into Basic as "I can tell you how to get there." (TG) Yanne this man replaced Femon as Dolph's chief aide, during the failed Jedi's bid for power. Yanne was much older than Dolph, and was not afraid to speak his mind in his master's presence. This did not endear him to Dolph, who regretted his decision and began to prepare a successor to Yanne during the New Republic's attack on Almania. (TNR) Yanov Mal Biron paid a group of rag-tag smugglers 10,000 credits to steal this Imperial customs frigate, shortly before the Battle of Endor. It was armed with four laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. (SSR) Yansan this Ho'Din was an ecology student who hated the "inherent evils" of technology. Despite his hatred of technology, he enrolled at the Traval-Parcor System Institute of Technology to learn everything he could, then took his education and used it to disable starships. For an unknown reason, he focused his efforts on Alliance starships during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, causing the deaths of a multitude of personnel when their starships were destroyed. This earned Yansan a high position on the Alliance's most-wanted list. (AIR) Yanskac this deadly creature was a source of food to the Yuuzhan Vong. A ridge of eight-centimeter-long spines ran along its dorsal surface, each spine a hollow needle used to inject poison into its prey. The tail of the yanskac was also used as a weapon, whipping the barbed tip at its target. The chelipeds of the yanskac were used to grip its prey and tear away hunks of flesh to consume. Yuuzhan Vong warriors often consumed yanskacs as a source of nourishment as well as a trial which proved the warrior had come a long way toward perfection. The yanskac flesh was seared over an open flame, while the innards were discarded. Once the flesh inside the chelipeds swelled and burst the shell, the meat was ready to eat. (SBS) Yanth this 500-year-old Hutt was a vigo of the Black Sun organization shortly before the Battle of Naboo, having survived Darth Maul's virtual destruction of the organization. He controlled several upscale bars and restaurants on Coruscant, including the Tusken Oasis, and was a collector of fine antiquities. He was known to be in the market for an authentic Jedi Holocron, and learned that Lorn Pavan might be in possession of one. However, Lorn was unable to seal a deal with Zippa the Toydarian, and the chain of events eventually led to Lorn's involvement with Hath Monchar and Darth Maul. Yanth was later approached by Lorn, who had obtained a crystal holocron containing the information from Monchar on the Trade Federation's plans to blockade the Naboo System. Before he could sell the information, Yanth was confronted by Darth Maul, who calmly sliced Yanth's heart from his body before retaking the holocron. (DMSH) Yanthan this alien race was noted for its dexterity. (TCD) Yanto this was the alias used by the Fry family, after Talesan Fry discoverde evidence of a plot to eliminate up to twenty key government officials, some seven years before the Battle of Naboo. (SOJ) Yao this sentient race is known for its longevity. (TT) Yaodi this was a common Psadan name. (UANT) Yapi this race of lupine beings was created by DakrStryder to serve as warriors and guardians. One of the most successful races engineered by DarkStryder, the furred Yapi eventually developed their own civilization, which became infinitely divided amongst itself. Factions of Yapi warriors formed and dissolved, each with loyalty or hatred toward DarkStryder, and virtually every tribe of Yapi was at war with one other tribe at any time. Despite their warring nature, Yapi maintained a period of peace among the tribes to trade and exchange information, as well as to form and eliminate tribes. The average Yapi was highly superstitious, holding the connection to the Ta-Ree energy in awe, as a power reserved only for the shaman of each tribe. When the crew of the FarStar arrived on Kathol to defeat Imperial Moff Sarne and DarkStryder, the Yapi willingly lent their assistance. They found themselves working with the Charr Ontee and the Zizimaak, even though the Yapi considered the Zizimaak a source of food. (E) Yar this was a universal term used by non-human races to indicate an affirmative, and was used in place of the word "yes".

Poof was one of the Jedi Masters who voted for the training of Anakin Skywalker. In the years between the Battle of Naboo and the onset of the Clone Wars, Master Poof protected the planet Coruscant against the possible actions of the renegade Annoo-Dat General, Ashaar Khorda. Master Poof discovered Khorda's plans to use the Infant of Shaa to destroy Coruscant, and barely arrived in time to prevent Khorda. Unexpectedly assisted by Jango Fett and Zam Wesell, Yarael Poof managed to defeat Khorda and recover the statue. However, its destruction had already been triggered by Khorda's power. Master Poof died in a valiant effort to use the Force to return the Infant to its dormant state. Yarael Poof was portrayed by Michelle Taylor in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1, ZW) Yaralou this planet was the third world in the Baralou System. It was an aquatic planet, saturated with water to the point where the land acted like a sponge. (PG1) Yarar, Brimon a middle-aged, dark-skinned man, he is somewhat obese.

He was busy investigating Loronar Corporation's involvement in the Meridian Sector when Dzymand Seti Ashgad released the Death Seed plague. He started to put two and two together, and eventually discovered that Loronar was supplying the various pirates and rebels with brand-new weapons. He also discovered the connection between Loronar and the Needle attack ships. He claimed that his life had been threatened at least three times before he met C-3PO and R2-D2. It was Yemm who rescued R2-D2 and C-3PO from indentured employment at the Chug 'n' Chuck on Nim Drovis, and the droids returned the favor when the three escaped from Nim Drovis on the Zicreex. (POT) Yarchur this was a name that was common among the Defel race. (UANT) Yard, The this huge conglomeration of metal silos and other scraps served as the headquarters for Syndicate One, on the planet Valgauth. Created from the discarded hulks of other manufacgturing facilities, the Yard appears to be a recycled castle. Inside, the Yard contains all the workings of a weapons manufacturing plant. A huge docking bay allows new weapons to be transported out to the Syndicate's customers. The Yard is relatively undefended, relying on its thick armor plating the corrosive atmosphere of Valgauth to deter any attacks. (SWJ8) Yarda this green-skinned humanoid was a native of the planet Solem, and was part of the rebel underground that sprang up during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Yolan Bren was one of the few survivors of Imperial Governor Malvander's subjugation of Solem. However, Yarda was killed while trying to protect Yolan Bren from Boba Fett. (SWES) Yardle this relatively strong liquor was popular on Tatooine during the last decades of the Old Republic. (TG) Yarella this was a noted figure in the history of the Hutt race. (UANT) Yar'En known as the Firelands, this immense crater dominated a vast volcanic plain on the eastern hemisphere of the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE) Yaret-kor this was the Yuuzhan Vong version of a plasma cannon. Like other Yuuzhan Vong technology, the yaret-kor was a living weapon, grown to serve a single purpose: to expel blasts of molten material and energy at a target. Because the yaret-kor was a living weapon, it healed naturally over time, thereby requiring less maintenance than standard weaponry. (NEGW) Yargh'un this large rodent was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar, and was maintained as an organic form of garbage disposal on many worldships. Supreme Overlord Shimrra kept a group of yargh'un in a charnal pit aboard his flagship, and he often threw unworthy individuals into the pit to be devoured by the creatures. (FH3) Yarin this is a race of slow-moving, tree-like creatures. (CCR) Yaris this elderly man was a retired soldier of the Old Republic, who took a group of freelance mercenaries under his wing during the height of the New Order, treating them like the children he never had. (SWRPG2) Yarith Bespin Hotel Cloud City's finest hotel, it is also one of the most expensive lodging places on the outpost. Much of the architecture is crystalline in formation, and pastel colors dominate the décor. The focal point of the hotel is a fifty-story atrium. (ISU, RD) Yarith Sector named for Yarith Figg, this area of the galaxy was located in the section of the Outer Rim Territories known as the Greater Javin. The Yarith Sector was created when the Old Republic decided to split the Anoat Sector into two parts, each corresponding to a section of the Twin Nebulae. The heirs of Ecclessis and Yarith Figg felt that the split was aimed at limiting their influence - both personally and financially - in the Greater Javin, but earned a measure of consolation in getting it named as the Yarith Sector. The sector bordered the spinward edge of the Anoat Sector, and encompassed the Kiax Nebula. However, the border between the Anoat and Yarith Sectors meandered in and out, cutting off certain planets from existing political allegiances to minimize local power. (WOA33) Yarkora this was the native language of the Tarkora race, although it was never spoken in the presence of non-Yarkora. Like most other aspects of Yarkora life, the language was kept secret from other beings. In the presence of non-Yarkora, the Yarkora spoke Basic. (UANT) Yarkora this race of humanoids had long, sloping faces which were dominated by wide, flat noses. They had huge, expressive eyes and wisps of hair ringing their skulls. Because of their appearance, they were often referred to as Yak-faces. Little iwa known about their homeworld, and individual Yarkora tended to be very secretive about its location. Those that were encountered were often found in thelowest levels of society, and the galaxy at large came to associate the Yarkora with criminal elements, despite the lack of evidence supporting the theory. (CCG7, EGA) Yarna d'al' Gargan the six-breasted female Askajian dancer in Jabba's palace, Yarna was known as one of the greatest dancers on the planet Askaj. Her name, Yarna, meant "beautiful" in her native language. She grew up as the daughter of an Askajian chieftain, and learned to dance for th honor of her tribe. Yarna was captured on her homeworld, along with her husband Nautag and their four cubs, and forced into slavery by Jabba the Hutt. One of her cubs was killed during the capture. Nautag was fed to the rancor for protesting his enslavement, and the remaining three cubs were kept at Jabba's townhouse in order to ensure Yarna's complete acceptance of her slavery. Over time, she became one of Jabba's most favored dancers. Jabba ordered her to wear cosmetic "beauty lumps" on her face, to make her look more like his mother. When Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, Yarna was still in the palace. She met up with Doallyn, and the two of them escaped from Tessek and B'omarr monks and fled to Mos Eisley. There, she recovered her three cubs and fled Tatooine, with Doallyn, to Geran. There, they decided to become freelance traders, living aboard their starship. Yarna danced on the side, and even performed the Dance of the Seventy Violet Veils at the wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa. Yarna d'al' Gargan was portrayed by Claire Davenport in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. (MTS, ROTJ, TJP, EGA) Yarnak a creature whose flesh is often roasted and eaten. (TJP) Yarnak Gang this pirate gang operated during the early years of the New Order. (AIR) Yarnil this backwater world served as a minor agricultural center in the Outer Rim Territories. (CCW) Yarno a roulette-like game of chance. (GMS) Yaronn this planet was a backwater world covered almost entirely with ocean. One small continent supports a dense forest and very little other life. It's galactic coordinates are 2839.23.893.84. (GMS) Yarrku this Barabel was the owner of the Night Raider. He was a pirate and smuggler by trade, but would take a passage in order to make an "honest" living. Yarrku would charge an exorbitant fee, and often deliver his passengers into slavery. He once tried to swindle Nyo out of 25,000 credits for transport to Nar Shaddaa, but Kinnin Vo-Shay prevented the young man from wasting his credits. The Herglic Doune then contracted Yarrku and his pirates to intercept Vo-Shay and Nyo. Vo-Shay tricked the Barabel into believing the shields on the Ashanda Ray were down, knowing that the redundant systems would kick in shortly, then sent a bomb out in a probe as "payment" for letting them go free. Yarrku opened fire once the probe was retrieved, only to have the bomb explode just as his ship's blasts bounced off the hull of the Ashanda Ray. Yarrku and his crew were killed in the explosion. (TFNR) Yarrock an addictive, hallucinogenic drug. (COJ) Yarroq this Trandoshan was the leader of the gang which kidnapped Renci Tosh and stole her Z-95 Headhunter, when she crashed onto Ord Mantell shortly after the Battle of Yavin. However, she managed to escape capture and eventually returned to Yarroq's outpost to recover her ship. Yarroq's men were no match for the freelancers Tosh hired to help her, and Yarroq eventually fled into the wilderness before he could be caught. (GMR1, WOA15) Yarroq this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "hunts without effort". (GCG) Yarrv this planet was a lush, tropical paradise covered with dense jungles, warm oceans, and wide sandy beaches. It was settled during the height of the Old Republic, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. During the Galactic Civil War, an Alliance protocol droid which contained vital information on their activities in the sector and on the use of Hervack Starport on Steelious was lost on Yarrv and damaged. It reverted back to its former programming as a butler, and was inserted into the household of Baron Karin of Darpheos. Alliance agents had to infiltrate the Baron's house and recover the droid before Karin could decipher the information and use it against the Alliance and start a war with Steelious. The people of Yarrv were separated into twenty different castes, and each baron had a cross-section of these castes in his realm. The small number of barons controlled over ninety percent of the planet's wealth. All the barons were ruled by a planetary King. (GMS) Yarsroot this Ho'Din worked for Lando Calrissian, and served as the chef aboard the Lady Luck during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

(DOE) Yarua this Wookiee served as the planet Kashyyyk's primary Senator to the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He despised the corruption of his fellow Senators, but found himself unable to stem the tides. Shortly before the Clone Wars, Senator Yarua agreed to meet with Trandoshan representative Hadocrassk, in an effort to negotiate a peace between their peoples. Yarua had ordered that all trade to Trandosha be blockaded after 215 Wookiees were killed aboard a transport ship near one of Trandosha's moons. The Trandoshan government refused to return the bodies of the dead to Kashyyyk. Senator Yarua threatened to secede from the Republic if reparations were not made to the Wookiee people. The peace talks were mediated by the Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis, but were interrupted by the onset of the Clone Wars. As the Clone Wars dragged on, Senator Yarua remained allied with the Old Republic, but his support of Chancellor Palpatine was anything but ringing. Despite the fact that Yarua refused an offer from the Confederacy of Independent Systems to join the Separatists, Yarua explained that the Wookiees would take the path that led to the best outcome for the Wookiees. (IG1, HNN4, SWI71) Yarum native to the planet Dagobah, the yarum plant produced aromatic, orange seeds which could be used to brew a tasty tea. (VD) Yashaka Mountains this range of mountains was located on the planet Yashuvhu. The native Yashuvhi used the mountains as a hiding place when the Chiss first discovered their civilization. (FH2) Yashuvhi this branch of mainline human stock was cut off from the rest of the galaxy many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. A Jedi Knight and his crew were exploring the Unknown Regions when an accident brought their ship out of hyperspace. The crew survived, and settled on the planet Yashuvhu. Lacking the technology to repair the ship, the Jedi and the crew were cut off from the rest of the galaxy but nonetheless managed to survive and prosper. The descendents of the original crew were all sensitive to the Force, having the Jedi as their main forebears. The Yashuvhi were discovered by the crew of the Pathfinder III during the century leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC) Yashuvhu this lush, temperate world was originally settled during the Expansion Period of the Old Republic by a group of human colonists. Legends say that a Jedi Knight and his crew were on an exploration mission when they were forced out of hyperspace. An unspecified accident disabled their starship, and they were forced to land on the planet. They were utterly cut off from the rest of the galaxy, lacking any spare parts and without the necessary skills or resources to repair the ship. Yashuvhu was located on the fringes of the Unknown Regions. The human population nevertheless grew steadily, and referred to themselves as the Yashuvhi. The planet was "discovered" by the crew of the Pathfinder III during the century leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC) Yasilor this planet is located in Bajic Sector. (GG11) Yassat this man was a member of the Walkway Collective, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. HE served Tenga Javik as a scout, exploring the areas surrounding the bombed-out Catier Walkway in search of supplies, other humans, or Yuuzhan Vong warriors. He claimed to have seen Lord Nyax made incarnate on Coruscant, after witnessing a dark being mercilessly destroying Yuuzhan Vong raiding parties. (EL2) Yastesh this was a game played by Sullustan children. (SWJ14) Yatir a humanoid race native to the planet Absit, the Yatir were overrun by the Empire's Hell's Hammers, under the command of Colonel Zel "Rancor" Johans. (ISB) Yavaris this New Republic Nebulon-B escort frigate originally saw duty as a troop carrier during the Galactic Civil War, and saw action at the Battle of Yavin. Later, it was used by Wedge during the assault on the Maw Installation. (COTF, JASB) Yavassk this was a common name among members of the Trandoshan race. (WOTC, UANT) Yavin the second and primary planet in the Yavin system, Yavin was a marginally habitable gas planet with twenty-six moons, of which three were inhabited. The planet measured some 192,478 kilometers in diameter, and the atmosphere which surrounded it had an average depth of 65,000 kilometers. The density of its metallic hydrogen core gave Yavin a gravity which is 2.74 times the standard of Coruscant, and helped the gas giant to attract so many moons. The atmosphere of Yavin was one of the brightest in the galaxy, leading many scientists to believe that it was a world that could have become a star under other circumstances. The planet's intense light even visible on the dark side, and was attributed to photons becoming trapped in the gases and bouncing around, not from any sort of fusion reaction. Despite the intense pressures within the clouds, Yavin supported lifeforms which were thinner than paper but nonetheless alive. Yavin spun remarkably fast for its size, rotating once around its axis every eleven standard hours. Its year lasted some 4,858 local days. Estimates placed Yavin some 40,500 light-years from the galactic core. Note that the Planet Hoppers feature of the Wizards of the Coast website indicates that Yavin measured 198,500 kilometers in diameter, had a normal gravity that was four times Standard. Furthermore, the series indicates that Yavin was the third planet in the Yavin System, had a day which lasted twenty-four hours, and a year that encompassed 4,818 local days. (SW, SWN, GG2, EVC, PH, IWST) Yavin this Mon Calamari MC90 cruiser was used by Wedge Antilles as his command ship during the assault on Almania. (TNR) Yavin 13 one of three inhabitable moons of Yavin, Yavin 13 was a desert moon which was home to the Gerbs and the Slith. While the majority of the moon was dominated rocky deserts and forests of cactus, most of the southern hemisphere was covered by a shallow sea that provided the meager moisture that could be found in its atmosphere. (GG2, PH) Yavin 22 this large, airless asteroid was considered the twenty-second moon of the gas giant Yavin, although it was probably captured by Yavin's gravity rather than forming as part of the Yavin System. Yavin 22 was best-known as the final resting place of Yavin Station, which had crashed onto the moon some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (PH) Yavin 4 an inhabitable moon of Yavin, it has a lush, tropical ecology which supports an abundance of life. It was home to the extinct Massassi race, which was subjugated by Exar Kun some 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. The Massassi built huge temples in the jungles to focus the Dark Side energies Kun commanded. During the Great Sith War, Yavin 4 was were Kun made his final stand, draining the life energies of the Massassi to preserve his spirit despite the death of his flesh. The resulting clash of Force energies sparked huge forest fires that ravaged the jungles. When Ulic Qel-Droma returned several years after the war, the jungles were still barren of life. Over the millennia, however, life did return to the moon, and its jungles flourished. When the Alliance built their first main base, they chose Yavin 4 as an out-of-the-way location. Following the destruction of Alderaan and Princess Leia's rescue from the first Death Star, the Empire discovered the base's location and tried to destroy it. The Alliance's starfighters, led by Luke Skywalker, destroyed the station before it could fire on the moon. However, debris from the first Death Star rained down on Yavin 4 for months, touching off forest fires and laying waste to vast portions of the planet. The destruction was much less than that resulting from the Sith War, and much of the Alliance base remained intact. Later, Mon Mothma and Leia Organa-Solo chose Yavin 4 as the site for Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum. The average day on Yavin 4 lasts 24 standard hours, and it circles Yavin three times every Coruscant standard year. The moon has four major land masses separated by six interconnected oceans. Note that I, Jedi indicates that Yavin 4 has its own moon. Also note that Yavin Four is described as the base of operations for the new government forming out of the Alliance, following the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, in The Glove of Darth Vader. The Lost City of the Jedi claims that, thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War, Yavin 4 was a barren, cold ball of rock. The ancient Jedi created the lush, tropical environment, with a 6-month dry/6-month wet seasonal cycle, by building a weather and climate control center in the Lost City. They Jedi then programmed the caretaker droids to maintain the weather programs until they are told not to. The moon was later burnt extensively by Trioculus, in an attempt to locate the Lost City of the Jedi. Yavin 4 remained untouched for several decades, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. In an effort to wipe out the Jedi, the Yuuzhan Vong placed bounties on the heads of any being who was trained as a Jedi Knight. Many bounty hunters made the trip to the Yavin System, but none could locate the jungle moon and its temples. This was because Luke Skywalker and his fellow Jedi Masters used Fallanassi techniques of illusion to hide the entire moon from view. However, the illusion was eventually broken when a group of Peace Brigade ships managed to find it, and relayed its location to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders attacked Yavin 4 and seized control of the moon, reforming it to serve as a Shaper base. (SW, DLS, TSW, HTF, JS, GDV, LCJ, JASB, IJ, GG2, PJSB, NJOSB) Yavin 4 Station this space station was originally created in orbit around Yavin 4 as an outpost for spacers who were traveling through the Yavin System, or for explorers who were traveling to Yavin 4 itself. After the Battle of Yavin, the station was appropriated for use by Imperial forces, during the investigation of the former Alliance base in the temple ruins on Yavin 4. (SWGAL) Yavin 8 one of three inhabitable moons of Yavin, Yavin 8 had a rocky, mountainous terrain which was home to a number of species of grazers and the Melodie people. Much of its ecosystem was tundra, with most of the planet's abundant water supply frozen into snow or ice. The moon measured 11,400 kilometers in diameter, and orbited Yavin at an average distance of 560,342 kilometers. It orbited Yavin once every 1.14 Coruscant years, and its day encompassed 21 standard hours. (GG2, LW, PH) Yavin Station this ancient space station was erected in orbit around the gas giant Yavin, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Built from ores mined on Tatooine, the station served as an outpost for explorers and other beings who were passing through the system. For many years, it was operated by Suvam Tan, until it began to decay. The ores that were used in its creation were poorly suited for use in space, and began to fracture. One fateful day, a freighter that was attempting to leaving Yavin Station caused a small crack to form in its hangar bay. In no time, the crack expanded and grew, and Yavin Station suffered a catastrophic, explosive decompression. All aboard were killed, and the force of the blast smashed Yavin Station into the barren surface of Yavin 22. However, the station absorbed the impact on its ventral surface, and many of its interior chambers were well-preserved, flash-frozen during the decompression. (PH) Yavin Vassilika this wondrous crystal sphere was considered nothing more than a legend to most of the modern galaxy. It was formed from a single Coruscan Gem, and was covered with a variety of Massassi heiroglyphs. Its location was discovered by Illyan Webble, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, on a remote world where it was worshipped by an alien race. The Vassilika was later discovered to be more than just a crystal sphere. Inside the sphere was an archaic key, which opened the greatest of the Massassi temples on Yavin 4. The sphere was eventually recovered by Brian Tharen and an elderly man known as The Collector, who were members of the Alliance searching for a way to use the Massassi temples as a base. (UYV) Yavin's Caprice this Gymsnor-class cargo ship was captured by Sol Mon and his pirates. The ship's Captain tried to reach the New Republic and warn them of the pirates, but Sol Mon captured her before she could complete the message. (CE2) Yavin's Glory this was a New Republic patrol cruiser which was ambushed by the Red Moons mercenary band. (SWJ3) Yawari Cliffs this location on the Forest Moon of Endor is one of the moon's most striking features. At the Cliffs, the primeval forests end and the land drops away in steep, rocky cliffs. The exposed sandstone is dotted with wind-tunneled caves and broad ledges. (ISU) Yayax a large, cat-like predator found on Endor's forest moon. (ECAR) Yazbo Imperial slang term for a Kitonak. (COJ) Yazstrimskizzie this was an Ithorian creature who flesh was often served steamed. They had to be cooked slowly, to preserve their texture. This delicacy was often consumed with cold Harmon Kizzlebrew. This is a reference to the baseball player, Carl Yazstremsky. (SWJ11) Y-Ball this Ugly starfighter was developed from a TIE Fighter cockpit mounted to the engines of a Y-Wing. First developed on Corellia, these well-armed ships were quite slow to maneuver and were often poorly made. When Rogue Squadron tried to rescue members of Baron Soontir Fels' family from kidnappers, they shot down several squadrons of these Uglies. (XWM, HXW) YC-1100 this was the model number of an expensive, high-end security component, used during the last decades of the Old Republic to protect computer systems. (EOS) Ycaqt native to the planet Velmor, this large, tadpole-shaped creature was used as a mount. Its large, ovoid body was supported by two long legs, and was counterbalanced by a whip-like tail. The average ycaqt stood more than two meters tall, and ran along the ground like birds. The natives of Velmor had learned to domesticate the ycaqt, and used them as mounts during ceremonial mrid hunts. (LTA2, WOTC, GMR10) Ycaqt Cargo Ship developed jointly by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Loronar Corporation at Shipyard Lab 6671-X42, the Ycaqt cargo ship was a droid-controlled vessel designed to move small shipments along safe hyperspace routes safely and inexpensively. Measuring just twenty-one meters in length, the Ycaqt armed with just a single ion cannon and could carry up to 250 metric tons of cargo. The interior spaces were designed to carry inanimate objects, but could be reconfigred to transport live cargoes. While the Ycaqt looked good on paper, the droid brain developed for the craft suffered from the same sort of "prissiness" that affected many protocol droids, and it lacked the ability to negotiate for lower docking fees when necessary. (GMR10) Yccakic this Bith played the Bottom Viol in Sprig Cheever's band, and was known to be nervous about everything related to the band. He feared that they would not earn enough credits to make it to the next system; he worried that his instrument would be damaged in transit; he hoped the band would practice a few new numbers to keep the act fresh. (SWJ4, SWJ10) Ychna this huge Yuuzhan Vong starship was developed to attack the orbital space stations used by the New Republic. Individual ychna were huge, snake-like constructs which wrapped themselves around a space station and literally crushed it. (BP) Ychthytonian this alien race has four arms. (TNR) Yctor Arms this small weapons manufacturer produced a variety of black-powder projectile weapons during the Old Republic. (GUN) Y'Dar Princess a moderately-priced cruise ship which takes passengers on tours of the Outer Rim Territories. (GG9) Ydde this Ortolan and his family lived in the Outsider Citadels of the planet Cerea, shortly before the time of the Battle of Naboo. Ydde was a good friend of Ki-Adi-Mundi, and often helped the Cerean located individuals and places in the Citadels. He worked for a small shipping firm until he was caught up in the plans of Bron and Ephant Mon to import swoops and other technology to Cerea while exporting trace quantities of malium. When he realized that a Cerean elder - Dorr-Femi-Bonmi - was involved in their plans, Ydde tried to get out. After giving all the information he could to Ki about the scheme, Ydde was executed for his seeming deceit by Dorr. He was survived by his wife and five young children. (PTR) Yeade this warm beverage was favored by the Witches of Dathomir, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWIE) Yeat this omnivore was native to the planet Mutanda, and evolved over time into aggressive predators. They were compact in form, with four muscular legs supporting their bodies. Their heads were studded with steely horns, which they used to gore their prey. They are normally friendly, but will attack without warning. (PG1) Yeb Yeb Adem'thorn this Swokes Swokes was an Old Republic Senator who opposed the taxation of trade routes, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was rumored that Senator Adem'thorn's move from his homeworld to a luxurious home on Coruscant was ample evidence of his corruption. (CCG13) Yeb, Solipo this man was one of the many Senators who represented their homeworlds in the Galactic Senate, during the height of the Clone Wars.

This plan became known as the Great Purge, and was initiated about twelve years after their defeat of the Empire. The New Republic eventually put a halt to the Yevethan aggression, and the Yevetha were forced to retreat to N'zoth. They remained a formidable threat, however, so much so that the Yuuzhan Vong traded a momentary freedom to the Fia in exchange for information on the Yevethan military. The Fia, who had been among the many races plagued by the Yevetha, were only too eager to agree. In an attempt to eliminate any threat along its rearward borders, the Yuuzhan Vong utterly destroyed the Yevethan homeworld of N'zoth, killing every last Yevethan individual and wiping the Yevethan civilization from the galaxy.

Only after taking many losses were the Jedi able to quell the Yinchorri by destroying their base on Uhanayih and forcing the Yinchorri to surrender. After the rise of Emperor Palpatine, the Yinchorri were nearly wiped from the planet during the Imperial retaliation for their rebellion. The Empire then established a training facility on Yinchorr for the Royal Imperial Guards. Unknown to the Empire, several small clusters of Yinchorri managed to survive their extermination.

It translated into Basic as "dancer" or "walker". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG) Yke hyon fhars oblivyn cnous oblivyn an Old Corellian phrase which translates to "he who fears nothing, knows nothing." (SWJ7) YKL37R this was the MandalMotors model number of the M3-A Scyk starfighter. Note that this designation is similar to that of the YKL-37R Nova Cruiser, introduced by the Star Wars Galaxies game, although the two ships are vastly different. (LAWS, SWGAL) YKL-37R Nova Courier this light transport was developed by Gallofree Yards, Incorporated, as an answer to the YT-series of freighters that were produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. The hope was that the YKL-37R Nova Courier would rekindle sales for Gallofree, after their medium transport was plagued with repairs and reliability issues. The YKL-37R Nova Courier was a flat, oval-shaped craft with a pair of cargo pods mounted to the sides with heavy struts. The front of each pod was given a weapon emplacement, allowing a variety of armament configurations. The rear of the vessel was dominated by three large sublight drives. Although Gallofree went bankrupt shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance bought up large numbers of their medium transports as well as the YKL-37R Nova Courier. The YKL-37R became known for its maneuverability, especially among asteroids to avoid pursuit and in fighting off Imperial TIE Fighters. Many other YKL-37R Nova Couriers found their way into the hands of smugglers. (SWGAL) Ylan Ghalir this Mon Calamari was the original designer of the Leviathan suit of power armor. He was captured by Imperial forces during the Galactic Civil War, but was quickly rescued by Alliance forces. (SWJ3) Ylenic It'kla this Caamasi was one of the few members of his species to become a Jedi Knight. A golden-furred humanoid with purple facial stripes, Ylenic was assigned to work with Aayla Secura in recovering Ratri Tane from Corellia. There, Ylenic worked with his old friend, Nejaa Halcyon, to ensure that Aayla's mission was a success, despite the mysterious circumstances under which it was carried out. Shortly after the Clone Wars, Ylenic and Nejaa were dispatched to stop Nikkos Tyris, who had stumbled upon ancient Sith lore. Although the Jedi succeeded in eliminating the Sith threat, Nejaa was killed in the struggle. Ylenic then flew to Corellia to deliver Nejaa's personal belongings to his widow, Scerra. Years later, he served as one of Bail Organa's chief advisors during the early years of the New Order. Ylenic was part of the Alderaanian delegation which travelled to Cloud City to meet with Bria Tharen. Unfortunately for thr Caamasi, Ylenic was on Alderaan when it was destroyed by the first Death Star. It'kla died in the blast. (RD, IJ, SWI66, PJSB) Ylesia this planet was covered with shallow seas broken by several island chains and three continents. The northern continent was located near the north pole, while the other two were located along the equator. The weather patterns on Ylesia were marked by incredibly wild air currents found in all layers of the atmosphere, making it difficult to land a ship there. These patterns were due mainly to the planet's swift rotation, which results in a ten-hour day. Much of the land is hidden under shallow, brackish water, resulting in swampy areas which abound with a strange fungus that thrives on fresh blood. The Hutts and t'landa Til set up a huge glitterstim processing plant on this world, using the front of a religious colony to obtain slave labor. An orbiting space station was positioned over Colony One, and was the primary debarkation point for new pilgrims and outgoing slaves. Bria Tharen and her Alliance crew often attacked slave ships leaving the space station. The planet eventually supported nine of the "religious" colonies before the Hutts started thinking about populating another world. During the era of the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ylesia became a hotbed of activity and support for the Peace Brigade, and later served as the Peace Brigade's base of operations. To ensure that the Peace Brigade was free to act, the Yuuzhan Vong executed every Hutt it could find on Ylesia, but maintained the glitterstim mining operations as a way to fund the activities of the Peace Brigade. About four years into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the New Republic launched an all-out assault on Ylesia, managing to defeat the alien invaders and retake Ylesia. (TPS, RD, BP, EVR, Y, UF) Ylesian Dream Han Solo stowed away aboard this automated barge when it was docked to the Trader's Luck. He managed to get the ship to Ylesia with the help of its R2-series pilot. Later, after being hired by Teroenza as a pilot, he used the Dream to train and perform routine transport runs. Han tried to train Muuurgh as a gunner, but had relatively poor luck. The Dream was hyperdrive-equipped. They were flying a shipment of glitterstim in it when they were attacked by pirates and forced to stop over on Alderaan. There, Han obtained medical help help for Muuurgh while attempting to sell some of the spice. Later, when Han and Bria tried to escape from Ylesia, Jalus Nebl flew the Dream in between the Helot's Shackle and broke a tractor beam lock, allowing them to escape. Nebl took the Dream and fled into hyperspace. He later joined the Alliance, and renamed the ship Dream of Freedom. (TPS, RD) Ylesian Republic this was the term used to describe the government formed by the Ylesian Senate, after Thrackan Sal-Solo was appointed President of Ylesia and Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade. (Y) Ylesian Senate this was the name of the governing body of the planet Ylesia, after it had been taken over by the Peace Brigade. Originally known as the Alliance of Twelve, the Senate was composed of some sixty members at its height. Despite the name "Senate", the group was made up of a wide variety of criminals and renegades who were constantly fighting over their own agendas. Thrackan Sal-Solo, after being named President of Ylesia and Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade by Supreme Overlord Shimrra, took control of the Senate in an effort to focus the activities of the Peace Brigade. The Senate, however, didn't like the fact that they had to answer to Sal-Solo, and formed a temporary alliance to bring about his downfall. The Senate, when combined with Sal-Solo as President, formed the so-called Ylesian Republic. (Y) Ylix this backwater planet was the birthplace of Gallandro. For many centuries, the inhabitants of Ylix were embroiled in a civil war with their planetary neighbors from Goelitz. The actual cause of the feud has been forgotten, but the bitterness remained for many generations. The Imperial Moff of the sector promised to peacefully resolve the wars, but he was soon worried about other matters and the battles continued to rage. Eventually, Ylix forces - with Gallandro as one of their leaders - defeated the forces from Goelitz, ending the dispute in bloody fashion. (CSA, EGC) Yllek, Cas Ennyl this female human was one of House Benelex's primary representatives. When Boba Fett, masquerading as Sava Brec Madak, attempted to hire Jodo Kast, he met with Yllek to discuss terms and conditions. (SWG6, TOD) Yllotat System the Alliance rescued prisoners on the Dreadnaught Dargon in this system, prior to the Battle of Endor. (TIE) YM-3382 this was the model number of an expensive, high-end security component, used during the last decades of the Old Republic to protect computer systems. (EOS) Yminis Sector this area of the galaxyhas 87 habitable worlds, many of which have been colonized by the Forshul race. (SOP) Yn this planet was a member world of the New Republic. (TNR) Ynara Yinnivan this New Republic astrographer was a member of the Astrographic Survey Institute, and was asked to investigate the planet Thanta Zilbra during the Sacorrian Triad's attempt to destroy its sun. (CTD) Yncha this huge, slug-like creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a form of orbital attack creature. Comparable in size to an immense space slug, the yncha had a wedge-shaped head that was dominated by an eighty-meter-wide mouth. A pouch was located on its back. The mission of the yncha was to literally consume space stations and orbital facilities, removing them as first lines of defense for planets that the Yuuzhan Vong wanted to conquer. The creature first disabled a station's shields by consuming the energy that powered them. Then, using its wide mouth, the yncha took pieces of the station in its mouth and crushed them. Often, small landing craft were affixed to the hide of the yncha, allowing Yuuzhan Vong warriors to quickly enter the station and eliminate any opposition. (UF) Ynos this native of the planet Anobis was the leader of his farming village. When Han Solo and Anja Gallandro arrived on the planet, it was Ynos who first greeted them. He also reluctantly agreed to meet with Elis, based on the ingrained hatred he witnessed in Anja. With Elis, they worked out the beginnings of a cease-fire to the civil war they had been fighting. (ROM) Ynr, Rhysati a native to Bespin, she was a member of X-Wing Rogue Squadron. (XWN) Yntrann a desert planet. (SWJ11) Y'nybeth this planet is a dark world, receiving little natural sunlight. It is the homeworld of the Plasmar race. (POT) Y'nzella this was a common name among members of the Ugnaught race. (UANT) Yo this Huttese possessive pronoun roughly translated into Basic as "your."

(HNN5) Yobshrimp this was another name for the yobstrimp, which was native to the planet Naboo. (WSW) Yobstrimp this carnivorous crustacean is native to the shallow waters of Naboo. These clawed creatures are also considered a delicacy by the Gungans. These creatures are also referred to as yobshrimp in The Wildlife of Star Wars. (GF, WSW) Yocola this Huttese word translated into Basic as "drink"or "beverage." (GMR5) Yoda this incredibly aged Jedi Master was regarded as one of the primary leaders of the Jedi Council, in the decades leading up the to fall of the Old Republic. Along with Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi, the 860-year-old Yoda was a strong voice in the Council's decisions. A master of appearing old and frail, Yoda was an expert swordsbeing and teacher. He attained the rank of Jedi Master at a meer 100 years of age. More than 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, Yoda served as one of the Jedi Masters working aboard the Chu'unthor before it was lost on Dathomir. 700 years old at the time, Yoda returned to Coruscant in defeat, and resolved to spent his time on the Jedi Council, guiding the Jedi Order with the help of the Force. He never revealed his race or homeworld, preferring to maintain an air of mystery. Like many other Jedi Masters, Yoda continued to teach while sitting on the Council, and was responsible for the early training of Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, when Qui-Gin Jinn brought nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker before the Council, Yoda was one of the few who voted not to train the boy. He was overruled, and Obi-Wan Kenobi was appointed the boy's master. A decade passed, and Yoda became increasingly aware of the presence of the Dark Side of the Force in the galaxy. However, he underestimated its strength, and the Jedi Council was blinded to the creation of a clone army on the planet Kamino. When the Separatists - led by one of Yoda's former Padawans, Count Dooku - rose up on Geonosis, Yoda was asked to take command of the clone troopers and answer the Separatist threat. Although he managed to save a handful of Jedi and defeat the Separatists' droid armies, Yoda was unable to prevent Dooku's escape. Like other Jedi Masters of the time, Yoda agreed to take up the role of a military General, and led several missions for the Old Republic, most notably to Vjun and Kashyyyk. However, Yoda - like the rest of the Jedi Council - failed to locate Darth Sidious before it was too late. When Chancellor Palpatine revealed that he was the Sith Lord, he moved swiftly to eliminate as many Jedi as he could. Yoda managed to escape Kashyyyk, only to learn from Obi-Wan and Bail Organa that the Jedi had been outlawed. Yoda tried to confront Darth Sidious back on Coruscant, but came to realize that he was totally unprepared for the Sith's power. Yoda also realized that the Jedi Order had been preparing to meet a possible Sith threat based on information from the Battle of Ruusan, a thousand years earlier. Instead, the Sith had been adapting to the changes of the galaxy, and the Jedi had become arrogant enough to believe that the old ways were the only ways to handle things. Thus, any actions the Jedi Council could have taken against Sidious would have been - and, ultimately were - utterly useless. Rather than fight Palpatine and surely die, Yoda chose to flee Coruscant and fight back in other ways. On Polis Massa, he was visited by the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn, who had somehow discovered the ancient teachings of the Whills and learned to affect the real world even in death. Qui-Gon then offered Yoda the chance to learn the techniques, and Yoda gratefully agreed to become Qui-Gon's apprentice. Yoda later learned of the birth of Padme' Amidala Skywalker's twins, and decided with Obi-Wan to separate them and place them in hiding. The two surviving Jedi hoped that the children would one day be strong enough to oppose Palpatine. Yoda then fled to Dagobah in hopes of eluding the Jedi purge by hiding among the intense life-force of the creatures there. He remained on Dagobah, and was eventually caught up in the Dark Jedi rebellion that engulfed Bpfassh as he was forced to destroy their leader when they fled to Dagobah. A period of relative tranquility passed for Yoda, until the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi directed Luke Skywalker to seek out the old Jedi Master. When Luke discovers him on Dagobah, following the Battle of Hoth, Yoda is almost 900 years old, and appears as a dimuntive elf-like creature with greenish-blue skin, wide eyes, and large pointed ears. He speaks in an archaic form of Basic. He claims to have watched over Luke's development for as long as Luke has been alive, not knowing if he would be able to train Luke or not, for he and Obi-Wan Kenobi realized that Luke might be the last of the Jedi Knights. Yoda took part in the events on Dathomir, along with the Jedi Masters Gra'aton and Vulatan, and foretold that the last of the Jedi Knights would someday come and defeat the Nightsisters. This would mark the end of the world as the witches knew it, and reshape their lives in profound ways. The Jedi Knight Yoda saw as Luke Skywalker. Yoda also foretold that Luke would be able to reveal the secret of the hundreds of reader disks that the Jedi kept with the witches of the Light Side (passed down to Rell), and that he would share them with the Dathomir witches. Yoda was portrayed by Frank Oz and Kathryn Mullen in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Yoda was also portrayed by John Lithgow for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. Yoda was again voiced by Frank Oz, and puppeted by Kathy Smee, Don Austen, and David Greenaway in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, CPL, SW1, RF, AOTC, VD2, SWDB, NEGC, E3N) Yo'Gand a legendary Yuuzhan Vong warrior, he was credited with uniting the various warring Yuuzhan Vong clans by ending the Cremlevian War. Using a bold move that became known as Yo'Gand's Core, he employed a dovin basal to destroy Ygziir, the home planet of one of the largest clans. Near the end of the battle Yo'Gand defeated the then-current Warmaster, Steng, assuming the position of Warmaster for the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the effects of the Cremlevian War left the Yuuzhan Vong's home galaxy a lifeless collection of worlds, forcing them to travel into the intergalactic void and seek out the New Republic. (VP, GMR8, NJOSB) Yo'Gand's Core this tactic was developed by the legendary Yuuzhan Vong warrior Yo'Gand during the Cremlevian War. At the "core" of his plan was the use of a strong dovin basal to drag the home planet of one of the largest clans, Ygziir, into a collision with its moon. With this clan utterly destroyed, Yo'Gand was able to defeat Steng and eventually unite all Yuuzhan Vong clans, thus ending the Cremlevian War. Nom Anor and Da'Gara later used the tactic in an effort to destroy the planet Sernpidal, during the initial stages of their invasion of the known galaxy. (VP, NJOSB) Yoghurt Plant this paludial fungus was native to the planet Dagobah. (IWST) Yo-Hann Innk this Kadas'sa'Nikto was a known criminal who escaped from prison shortly after the Battle of Naboo. The Republic Correctional Authority was unable to pinpoint his location, and offered a bounty for his capture. Jango Fett later claimed this bounty on the planet Tatooine, during a mission to locate Gardulla the Hutt. (BH) Yohar this bounty hunter chafed at the fact that Salus Corporation charged extra for non-Rodian versions of the Stalker personal armor suit, despite the fact that other "humanoid" versions were virtually identical to the Rodian configuration. (GUN) Yoi Areebi this male Guineo was a known criminal, living in the industrial district of Coruscant during the years following the Battle of Naboo. It was believed that Panza was working for Groff Haug at the time. He was wanted by the Republic Security Force for the enslavement of Ewoks for use at an illegal mining operation in the Cron Drift, and was eventually captured by Jango Fett. (BH) Yoka this Huttese verb translated roughly into Basic as "you are." (E1A14) Yolan Bren this green-skinned humanoid was a native of the planet Solem, and was part of the rebel underground that sprang up during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Yolan Bren was known as the Poet among his people, for he spoke eloquently about throwing off the Imperial yoke of control. It was later revealed that Yolan Bren was also the brother of Imperial Governor Malvander. They had been brought up to rule Solem together, but Yolan Bren could not stand by and allow the Empire to simply take his planet. However, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Solem was brutally subjugated by Malvander, in an effort to impress the Empire. Yolan Bren barely survived the attack, receiving several injuries to his arms and chest. Hoping to break the will of Solem's natives, the Empire hired Boba Fett to ensure that Yolan Bren was killed. Rather than see any more of his companions killed, Yolan Bren surrendered himself to the bounty hunter. His fellow rebels, however, could not simply sit by and watch him being captured. Lol led a group of rebels into G'ai Solem, where Malvander's forces were spread too thin to stop any form of organized resistance. They were able to easily rescue Yolan Bren, and in turn captured Malvander. (SWES) Yolp this was a common female name given to Sullustan females. It meant "stalactite" in the Sullustan language. (GCG) Yoly this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG) Yoly, Cof this was an alias maintained by Major Showolter, to be used whenever he needed to talk to Doctor Saychel on Nim Drovis. (HT) Yomin Carr one of the Yuuzhan Vong's advance scouts, Yomin Carr posed as a human being in order to infiltrate the ExGal Society's base on Belkadan. From there, he could assist in blinding the galaxy to initial phases of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He hated the weak humans he worked with, but held a grudging respect for Danni Quee. As Nom Anor's plans reached their culmination, Yomin Carr maintained communication with Prefect Da'Gara and coordinated the landing of the Yuuzhan Vong's first warship on Helska. From there, he eliminated ExGal-4, and was a first-hand witness to the initial stages of the Praetorite Vong's invasion. However, in his zeal to ensure the New Republic was unaware of the Yuuzhan Vong presence, he did not anticipate that Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade would travel to Belkadan and investigate the planet's destruction. Luke and Mara were forced into a desparate battle with Carr, who used every organic weapon in his arsenal against them. Unfortunately for Yomin Carr, he was unable to take control of Mara's lightsaber during a brief melee. He tried to swing his amphistaff down and crush her head, but she managed to get the blade of the lightsaber up in time to catch him in the chest. Carr's momentum carried him further onto the blade,which pierced his armor and burned his heart. (VP) Yomm, Auren a fifteen-year-old human girl from the Umboo colony of Roon, Auren was an excellent athlete. She and her droid, Bix, won many competitions in the Colonial Games during the early years of the New Order, and were often partnered with Gee Long. Auren met Mungo Baobab and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, when she rescued them from a race of mud creatures on Roon. They were then beset by Governor Koong and his henchman, Gaff, as well as by Gaff's espionage droid O'Dingo. Mungo and C-3PO agreed to help Auren and her team compete in the Colonial Games. For his help, Auren gave Mungo a Roonstone. (DCAR, SWDB) Yomm, Bola Auren Yomm's mother, Bola was infected with the Ruse virus by the evil Governor Koong, during the early years of the New Order. Mungo Baobab and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO traveled to Tawntoom to rescue Auren Yomm and her father, Nilz, who understood how to eradicate the virus. Their rescue attempt was successful, and Bola was able to recover from the virus. (DCAR) Yomm, Nilz Auren Yomm's father, he was a respected physician and trader in the Roon System. When Governor Koong sprayed the Ruse virus over the umboo province of Roon, Nilz's wife Bola was infected with it. Nilz discovered the cure for the virus, but was captured by Koong. Koong himself had been infected, and demanded that Nilz cure him. Nilz, however, was rescued by Mungo Baobab and the droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, and returned to Roon. He was able to administer the cure to Bola, curing her before the virus could kill her. (DCAR) Yon this man was a member of the cleaning crew known as the Tripod, working on Bakura during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH2) Yondalla this female Zabrak worked as one of Jabba the Hutt's Lieutenants during the height of the Galactic Civil War. After the Trandoshan assassin S'lee was captured on Corellia, Jabba dispatched Yondalla to retrieve him before he could be forced to reveal information on Jabba's business dealings. (SWGAL) Yongti this was one of the Dathomirian Witches who rivaled Zalem's clan during the last decades of the Old Republic. She was killed when she led a slave-raid on Zalem's males, and tried to capture Quinlan Vos. Matriarch Zalem sent her subterine vessel to retaliate, and blasted Yongti and her rancor to pieces. (SWIE) Yonka, Sair this Imperial Captain commanded the Avarice during the years after the Battle of Endor. Prior to serving under Ysanne Isard, he spent most of his career in the Outer Rim chasing pirates and protecting convoys. He was known as a smart and calculating officer, who worked to maximize his chances for survival. A native of Commenor, he grew up and fell in love with a woman named Aellyn, who later married Moff Riit Jandi after Yonka left for the Imperial Academy. When they met each other years later on Elshandruu Pica, they started an illicit affair with the help of Kina Margath. When word of this affair reached the ears of Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron, through the droid Poe, they used it to convince Yonka to renounce his Imperial commission and join the New Republic. He accepted Wedge's proposal, and brought the Avarice and most of its crew with him. Those crewmen who wished to remain in Imperial service hijacked a Lambda-class shuttle and forced Yonka's forces to destroy them. The Star Destroyer was renamed the Freedom and was the first ship to fire on the Lusankya during the Battle of Thyferra. However, the Freedom also took heavy damage, and was disabled and adrift at the end of the fighting. Both Yonka and the Freedom survived, and Yonka became a member of the New Republic's commanders in chief during the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. (BW, IR) Yonna, Graf this man, a native of the planet Bront, was driven insane when the Empire subjugated the planet and killed his family. He partly assumed the identity of Parsol d'Ahndole, keeping shreds of his original personality mixed in. He also allied himself with the Alliance, although he was something of a loose cannon and messed up more missions than he helped. (CRO) Yonsen, Swifty this man was known as one of the more fearsome hired guns of the Inner Rim. He earned his reputation through a series of misadventures, not from any real talent. However, his reptuation actually saved him from several firefights. He was approached by Dhas Vedij and offered a chance to serve on the crew of the Far Orbit, afted Vedij defected from Imperial service. (FOP) Yonta this term was used to describe a dejarik player who was no longer an amateur, but had yet to play on the professional level. (HNN5) Yooba this Mandalorian pronoun translated into Basic as 'you'. (KOTOR) Yoog Skell this Yuuzhan Vong served the leaders of the invasion force which attacked the New Republic, more than twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor. As the High Prefect of the Intendent caste, Yoog Skell was Nom Anor's superior officer, and answered to Supreme Overlord Shimrra. When Nom Anor believed that the New Republic had established an advance base on Ebaq 9, Yoog Skell agreed that the Executor's information should be brought to the Supreme Overlord. However, when the information was discovered to have been purposely planted by agents of the Republic, in an effort to draw the Yuuzhan Vong into a trap, Yoog Skell confronted him and demanded his death. Nom Anor, in a panic, tried to flee with his life. In order to escape, Nom Anor lashed out at Yoog Skell with an amphistaff, smashing the High Prefect's skull and killing him almost instantly. (Y, DW) Yoon Cloud this unusual nebula contained several star systems that harbored unusual forms of life, many of them sentient. (GMR7) Yootak this vicious creature was native to the forest moon of Endor, and often attacked Ewok warriors. They were distinguished by their green fur, long forearms with hooked claws, and their tooth-filled snouts. (SWJ1) Yopaxtul this Vratix won the six-legged competition in the "Mobquet Presents" Fastest Land Beings" races, held just before the onset of the Clone Wars. Yopaxtul crossed the 100-meter lin in just 6.132 seconds, a galactic record for the hexapod class of racers. (HNN5) Yor Millto this slave owner worked in the city of Mos Espa, some two years before the Battle of Naboo. Yor Millto owned Amee and parents, but was barely affected when Amee's mother, Hala, was taken in a slave raid by Krayn. (JQ) Yorbo this being was a native of the planet Tyne's Horky, and a known droid abuser, during the early years of the New Order. It was Yorbo who purchased R2-D2 and C-3PO at auction, only to trade the droids to Jann Tosh shortly afterward. Yorbo, who worked for Kreb Zellock, believed that the trade was more to his own benefit. When he told Zellock about it, Zellock ordered Yorbo to capture Jann, on whom he had placed a bounty. After discovering the truth behind Kez-Iban's past, Yorbo and Zellock tried to increase their fortunes by collecting the bounty on him as well. However, their plans turned sour when R2-D2 and C-3PO helped Jann and Jess Meade rescue Kez-Iban and exposed Zellock's plans. When Yorbo realized that Zellock planned to betray him, he helped Jann knock Zellock unconscious. They later split Zellock's fortune and went their separate ways. (DCAR) Yordor this immense creature, native to the Forest Moon of Endor, grew long tusks of valuable ivory. (ECAR) Yorell according to Corellia mythology, Yorell was a giant who was the brother of Salta. When Yorell saw that Salta was growing tired from carrying the planet throuigh space, he built a platinum cast into which the planet could be placed. (MJH) Yoribuunt this immense gas giant was located on the border of Hutt Space. Its appearance from space was a swirl of red and yellow gases, mixing together in ever-changing patterns that made the planet quite beautiful to behold. (WOA22) Yorik Coral this form of coral was found in the galaxy inhabited by the Yuuzhan Vong. They bio-engineered the coral to grow to massive sizes, and then formed it into living spaceships they called worldships. The worldships themselves resembled nothing more than asteroids when observed on standard scanners and sensors, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to enter an area virtually undetected. When the Praetorite Vong invaded the galaxy, they had planned to use the dead world of Belkadan as a yorik coral breeding ground. The New Republic discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong captured slaves and used them to breed the coral. Small buds of coral were carried to captive slaves by creepers, which inserted the young buds into the slave's flesh. The coral - known as yorik-kul - kept the slave from revolting while it drew nourishment from the bodily fluids and energy of the host. It was later learned that the yorik coral used to create the Yuuzhan Vong starships aged like most other biological organism. By the time some of them reached the known galaxy, their interior components had begun to simply die out. Bioluminescent polyps stopped providing light, and organisms created to regulate temperature were unable to continue. (VP, DTO, HT, NEGW) Yorik-akaga this was the Yuuzhan Vong term for one of their picket ships, used to patrol the boundaries of their naval fleets. (UF) Yorik-et this was the Yuuzhan Vong term for a coralskipper. (NJOSB) Yorik-Kul this was the form of yorik coral used by the Yuuzhan Vong to control their slaves. A piece of yorik-kul was implanted into the body of a slave, usually near the neck. Because the yorik-kul was linked to its parent coral, it could be sent signals that were then imposed onto the will of the victim. Over time, the yorik-kul multiplied within the body of its victim, with coral spawn taking hold throughout the victim's body. In this way, the entire body was eventually at the mercy of the original coral. The introduction of yorik-kul into a non-Yuuzhan Vong body caused physical deterioration over time, as the coral spawn consumed the energy being created by the victim. It was also discovered that, over time, yorik-kul served to cut off a victim's connection to the Force. (NEGW) Yorik-stronha this was the Yuuzhan Vong version of a picket ship, although its primary mission was reconnaissance and espionage. Like all Yuuzhan Vong warships, the yorik-stronha was created from living yorik coral, and resembled nothing more than a large asteroid. These ships averaged about 228 meters in length, and allowed a crew of twelve officer and twelve warriors to observe a remote location with minimal chances of being detected. These should were well-armed, having ten volcano cannons and a complement of dovin basals in case there was any fighting. Additionally, the yorik-stronha ship could transport up 142 metric tons of cargo. (FH3, NJOSB) Yorik-ta this was the basic Yuuzhan Vong form of escape pod. Roughly the size of an average landspeeder, the unarmed yorik-ta escape craft had a single dovin basal for maneuverability, and had a transparent canopy. (NEGV) Yorik-trema this was a form of landing craft developed by the Yuuzhan Vong. Formed of vastiv membranes covering a skeleton of yorik coral, these craft were designed to transport forces to the surface of a planet. Most of these were unarmed, and had to be escorted by coralskippers during their descent. Yorik-trema were shaped to have a number of sensitive eye, which were trained to maintain contact with the coralskipper escort during the descent. These craft were equipped with ablative shields formed from living scales, which would be burned off during descent but later regenerated like skin tissue. The ground forces transported within the yorik-trema were discharged to the surface of a planet via modified molleung worms. The average yorik-trema measured 34 meters in length, and was sometimes armed with a pair of volcano cannons and several dovin basals. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the yorik-trema was forty-eight meters in length. This craft required a crew of four to operate, and could transport up to 36 troops and 35 metric tons of cargo. (BP, NJOSB, NEGV) Yorik-vec this was the primary Yuuzhan Vong assault cruiser, filling the gap between the coralskippers and the corvettes of their unusual fleet. These ships were dedicated warships, used for space combat more than transporting troops to battle arenas. On average, the Yorik-vec cruiser measured thirty meters in length, and required a creew of two pilots and three gunners to operate. The ship also had the capacity to handle eight additional passengers and up to 100 metric tons of materiel. The Yorik-vec cruiser was armed with a turret-mounted quad volcanic cannon, as well as four twin volcanic cannons. (GMR8) Yorl Niba this Twi'leki entertainer often performed at the Starlight Theater, on Abregado-Rae, during the height of the New Order. He absolutely hated Brinaloy N'Vaari, because her impersonation of a Twi'leki female drew bigger crowds than any of his own shows. (ND) Yorlin this Imperial stormtrooper was stationed aboard the Iron Fist during Warlord Zsinj's campaigns against the New Republic. When the Warlord hosted the senior members of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force, Yorlin tried to rough up Lieutenant Dissek. Dissek, who was actually Kell Tainer, retaliated to the rough treatment, giving Yorlin a concussion and knocking out a few of his teeth. (IF) Yorn this wealthy Baron left his holdings on the planet Coruscant and traveled to the moon Kalakar Six, a century before the Battle of Yavin. Yorn was interested in the Dark Side of the Force, and had heard that Kalakar Six was a nexus of Dark Side power. He and his followers built a lavish fortress on the moon, to serve as the base from which they explored the Dark Side of the Force. One of the regular supply ships to Kalakr Six returned to find the entire group of Dark Side devotees dead, except for Yorn, who had gone mad and ripped out his eyes and tongue. (T9) Yorn Skot this gas giant was known as a source of natural tibanna gas, although it was not naturally spin-sealed like the tibanna gas found in Bespin's atmosphere. Some six years prior to the Battle of Naboo, the planet was essentially owned and governed by Clode Rhoden, without any intervention from the Old Republic. (TAE) Yorn Skot Mining Station this was the largest of the tibanna gas-mining stations owned by Clode Rhoden, and situated in orbit within Yorn Skot's tibanisphere. It was targeted by the environmental terrorist group known as the Green Force, who felt that Rhoden was stripping the planet of certain gases that supported unusual forms of life. Madam Rhoden and her consort, the terrorist known as Buck, had planned to destroy the station in an effort to expose Clode Rhoden's activities. However, Clode Rhoden discovered their affair, and planned to kill them both aboard the station. That way, he could claim the station was destroyed by the Green Forge, and claim the insurance money. Their plans were thwarted by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Captain of the Aurorient Express detonated the core bomb before it could reach the station. (TAE) Yoro the roots of this plant were dried and ground into a fine powder, which was then mixed with liquids to form an indelible pigment that was often used in tattooes. (VD) Yorr this Imperial Captain was a former member of the Emperor's Demonstration Team, who later served as a test pilot on various TIE prototypes. He served as Jendon's wingman during several missions before co-piloting Darth Vader's personal shuttle prior to the Battle of Endor. (CCG11) Yortal's Emporium this general store was owned and operated by Yortal Ixlis, in the Ahto East section of Ahto City, on the planet Manaan, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR) Yorva-9 this Lambda-class shuttle was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after their victory at Falleen. Using a surge-coral-controlled slave, the Yuuzhan Vong flew the shuttle into evacuation efforts on worlds such as Druckenwell, where an alien ship might be stopped quickly. The use of a familiar ship allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to get close to transports and freighters carrying refugees, such as the Chilastra, so that warriors could board the refugee ships and search for Jedi Knights or other worthy beings to sacrifice. During the attempt to capture Ka-Tu-Un, the Captain of the Chilastra actually opened a landing bay for the Yorva-9, unaware of the Yuuzhan Vong crew hiding inside. (GMR8) Yosger this being was a well-known smuggling baron who maintained a base on the moon of Carz. During the Galactic Civil War, he branched out into the profitable business of weapons running and armament supply. Yosger wasn't especially intelligent or reputable, and many of his customers were angry when he couldn't meet their orders. He was eventually neutralized by Nilya Fek'ra and a group of freelance mercenaries. (GMH) Yoss this Gungan was a member of the Grand Army during the Battle of Naboo. (SWRPG) Yot this hardy bean was grown on many farms on the planet Dantooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic.

(GCG) Yotts Orren this Kadas'sa'Nitko smuggler worked for Jabba the Hutt as a crewman aboard the crimelord's sail barge, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. While in Jabba's employ, Yotts Orren failed to earnt he trust of virtually every other being working for the Hutt. It was later discovered that Yotts Orren was also stealing parts from the various shipments Jabba received, then selling them on the black market to make himself a tidy profit. (CCG12) Young Security Squad after The Young defeated the elders of the Daan and Melida, they began taking steps to bring a new government to the city of Zehava and the planet Melida/Daan. Led by Nield, the new government established the Young Security Squad to ensure no further uprising occurred. The original leader of the squad was the thirteen-year-old Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had renounced his Jedi training to remain on Melida/Daan with The Young. (UP) Young, The made up of the teenagers from the societies of the Melida and the Daan, The Young were considered a minor nuisance to their elders. However, The Young maintained no affiliation to either faction, instead remaining neutral despite their individual heritages. Many of them were orphaned when their parents and family were killed in one of the battles for control of Zehava. About a decade before the Battle of Naboo, The Young was formed by the disenchanted children who witnessed their parents fighting endlessly over a few square meters of ground, spending credits on military supplies while children went hungry and fell sick due to lack of medical supplies. The Young hated the way that their parents used the children as free labor in munitions factories. The Young recognized that the war was destroying viable farmland and continuing a hatred between the Melida and the Daan that was based on petty incidents in the distant past. They hated the fact that their parents revered the dead more than they cared for their own children, and stayed away from the Halls of Evidence at all times. Members of The Young rescued Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Melida, in an effort to stop the violence and prevent the Old Republic from being blackmailed into taking sides the civil war. However, The Young were no less militant that their parents, and were capable of causing great damage on their own. With the help of Obi-Wan, The Young were able to convince the Middle Generation to support their cause, and eventually defeated the elders of the Daan and Melida. Their leadership was quickly shattered, though, as Nield ignored the basic needs of his people and was overruled one several counts by Cerasi and Obi-Wan. (DOD, UP) Youngling this was a Basic term that was adopted by many races to describe their children. (AOTC, MJH) Yount this Imperial Governor was in control of the garrison on Wakeelmui during the last years of the New Order. (CCG10) Yo'uqiol this Rodian word, pronounced "YO-ooo-qui-ol," literally translated to "the hand of death." (COG) Yo'uqiol this carnivorous, mobile plant was discovered by the Rodians on their colony world of Ooo-sek. The name literally means "the hand of death," and was given because of its abundance and resiliency. The Empire even collected specimens for its own experiments. The yo'uqiol appeared to be a hybrid of plant and animal species, with roots that extend below the soil to collect water and tentacles which it ued to capture its prey. The average yo'uqiol measured 30 centimeters across, although Rodian hunters have told stories of specimens which measured five meters across, and resembled a flat flower. Surrounding the central body was a flat membrane tipped with tentacles, while the body contained a mouth and stinging spines. They fed on virtually anything that stumbled upon them, and this variety of diet made them healthy and adaptable. (COG) Your Stars and Mine written by Morgraine Delefrenquin, this regular feature of the Chandrilan Daily Messenger chronicled the lives and careers of the galaxy's most popular celebrities. (GFT) Youst a Dimok platform captured by the Ripoblus forces during the Sepan Civil War. It was a weapons station that was disguised as a science outpost. It was "rescued" by Imperial intervention.

(GCG) Yowvetch Custard this thick, rich custard was made on the planet Tatooine during the last decades of the Old Republic. (BF5) Yoxgit this male Ugnaught fled Cloud City after the Empire garrisonned the outpost. He hoped to return there someday, but found work supplying various weapons for Hermi Odle and Jabba the Hutt. (CCG7) YQ-400 Monitor this was a droid-controlled patrol ship produced by the Nerfworks, otherwise known as Shipyard Lab 6671-X42. Measuring 36 meters in length, the YQ-400 was armed with a pair of laser cannons and four heavy ion cannons. Its primary mission profile was to patrol the outer edges of a solar system, watching for incoming starships while running with passive sensors. When an incoming ship was spotted, the YQ-400 scanned it for identification and then passed the information onto the system's primary starship control center. If the controllers responded with an all-clear signal, the YQ-400 broke off its pursuit to return to its patrol. Until the all-clear signal was received, the YQ-400 trailed the incoming ship, prepared to fire at it if provoked. While the design of the ship was sound, the Monitor lacked enough firepower to deter a serious threat. (GMR10) YQ-series Patrol Ship this was the designation of the line of droid-controlled system patrol craft which were jointly developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Loronar Corporation, at the Shipyard Lab 6671-X42. Many of the designs for the YQ-series were never produced, but the YQ-400 Monitor proved to be one of the most popular ships in the series. (GMR10) Yractos this was one of the largest cities found on the planet Gyndine. (HNN5) Yrada Soludisan this Jedi Knight was killed aboard the Monitor III, during the attempt to smash a group of Iridium Pirates which was ambushing Old Republic supply convoys near Vuchelle, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4) Yrak Pootzck this is the term used by the True Ubese to describe those members of the Ubese culture who fled the destruction of their system and migrated to Ubertica. The phrase implies the cowardly ways and impure parentage of the Ubertica Ubese population. (SESB) Yraka Nes this female Wookiee worked as the medical doctor of the Wookiees of the Myyydril Cavern, after they began contracting the Poltur Virus. She spent many months isolating the virus and locating a cure, but her natural remedies required several rare plants that required extensive journeys to harvest. This meant that she had to hire other beings to locate them, while she tended to the other Wookiees. One of the things Yraka Nes found to be effective was a blanket made from the filaments exuded by webweavers. She also made luilris mushroom pies to keep up the health and spirits of her patients. (SWGAL) Yrashu this Force-sensitive race of green primates is native to the planet Baskarn. The Yrashu live in harmony with their environment, and create ceremonial maces from the roots of the Hmumfmumf tree. They eat the Mmhmm butterflies as a source of food. Those Yrashu which were tainted by the Dark Side of the Force were known collectively as The Low. They were tolerated by society, but looked down upon as delinquents and beings of low character. Most Yrashu speak in a strange language dominated by combinations of "schwa" and "mm" sounds. (SWJ2, AE) Yresilini this was a dim-witted alien race known for its inability to grasp advanced concepts. Many xenobiologists considered the Yresilini to be untrainable, and therefore incapable of joining the galactic society. (GBC) Yri Worm this species of blind annelid was native to the moon of Tilnes. Despite the moon's lifeless appearance, the yri managed to survive. These worms lived below the surface, riddling the crust of Tilnes with their tunnels. Worms moved through the rock by pulling themselves along with their scales. The mining operations which were established on Tilnes tried to exterminate the yri worms, because the worm tunnels made the mining passages susceptible to cave-ins. However, the meter-long yri proved to be somewhat intelligent, and began to actually fight back against the miners. Hiem Bryl went so far as to offer a fifty-credit bounty for each yri worm killed, but had to abandon the program after more than a thousand worms were brought in but the problem continued to escalate. (WOTC) Yrk one of the family names used by the Bothan people, it literally meant "metalsmith" - more specifically, one who worked with precious metals.

(TIE) Yrros, Naem this Imperial General was in charge of the subjugation of the city of Argona, on Rhamalai, during the height of the New Order. Yrros was educated at the Imperial Academy on Raithal, and took top honors in his class. His unswerving loyalty and dedication to the New Order earned him several swift promotions, but few friends. He was killed when the astromech droid R2-4B was confiscated and placed into the Imperial droid pool. R2-4B had been programmed to self-destruct if it was ever captured by the Empire, and the droid performed its duty flawlessly. (SWJ13) YS-4279 this was the model number of an expensive, high-end security component, used during the last decades of the Old Republic to protect computer systems. (EOS) Ysalamir this was the name given to one of the slender, grey-furred creatures, native to the planet Myrkr, that naturally created null-bubbles in the Force. The bubble created by an individual ysalamir could extend up to 10 meters in diameter, and a group of ysalaimir could generate a much larger bubble. Early in their lifecycle, ysalamiri would use their long claws to attach their bodies to tree limbs and obtain nourishment from the wood. As a sessile creature, the ysalamir soon died after being separated from their perch. Ysalamiri could reach lengths up to 50 centimeters, and have fur-covered scales. (HTTE) Ysalamiri this was the name given to a group of ysalamir. (HTTE) Ysanna a tribe of Force-sensitives living on modern-day Ossus, the Ysanna all seem to be able to harness some amount of the Froce for their own use. These warrior-priests use The Force to guide their out-dated projectile weapons, helping them obtain food and defend themselves. Their history shows that they arrived on Ossus just following the Great Sith War, and survived the devastation wrought on the planet during the Clone Wars. The Ysanna seem to have a bond with the tree-like, ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar, who also survived the planet's many trials and remains alive when Luke and Kam discover the Ysanna youths Jem and Rayf. (DE2) Ysanna, Jem this Ysanna girl was the daughter of Okko. Jem was met by Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar when they arrived on Ossus, during the early years of the New Republic. Jem was in the midst of a ritual with her brother, Rayf, in which they were tied to the tree-like form of the ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar. She was 23 years old when Luke first met her. Like all other Ysanna, Jem was strong with the Force, and chose to leave Ossus and become one of Luke's first students. She also became one of Luke's brief loves, until they were attacked on New Alderaan by Tedryn-sha and Krdys Mordi. Jem killed Mordi with her lightsaber in an effort to protect Luke, but was herself killed by Tedryn-sha. Luke was surprised to see her body dissapear as her spirit became one wit the Force. (DE2, SWDB) Ysanna, Rayf a Ysanna, and Jem's fifteen-year-old brother. He is also tied to Ood Bnar's tree-like form when Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar arrive on Ossus. He leaves with Jem to follow Luke and Kam, and become a Jedi Knight. He survives his sister and fights with Luke in many battles. When the Jedi tried to intercept the reborn Emperor Palpatine on Onderon, Rayf wounded the Dark Jedi T'iaz before he was consumed in the Emperor's own Force Lightning and killed. (DE2, EE) Ysannan this was the language spoken by the Ysanna who lived on Ossus during the modern era of the galaxy. (EGP) Y'sd Drum this was a form of drum used by the thorp elders of Malastare. The Dugs used the y'sd drums to pound out war songs, used to rally their troops into battle against the Gran. (SWI64) YsreTech this corporation designed and manufactured a number of deep-space platforms used for mining and refining activities. (SWJ6) Yssek this was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "delicate". (GCG) YT-1000 an outdated Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design. (LAA) YT-1150 one of the earliest of the YT-series starships from Corellian Engineering Corporation, the YT-1150 resembled a long, oval loaf of bread which had been cut into three pieces lengthwise and layed out. (RP) YT-1200 this freighter was designed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, but was eventually phased out in favor of the YT-1300. The designs for the YT-1200 were later sold to Nova-Drive, which modified them and produced the #3-Z light freighter. Many of these ships found used as suborbital transport craft, used for carrying cargo from one city to another. (SS, TCD) YT-1210 this Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter was a predecessor to the YT-1300. The YT-1210 has the familiar saucer-shaped hull, but lacked the forward mandibles of the YT-1300. This craft measured some 35 meters in length, and the cockpit could be situated on either the left or right side. The basic crew consisted of a pilot and a gunner. The standard YT-1210 could carry up to 100 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a single laser cannon. (GG6, FOP) YT-1250 this Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design was lightly armed in its stock form. (SFT) YT-1300 this series of Corellian light stock freighter built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Originally designed and manufactured some 30 years before the Battle of Yavin, it was a 2-man craft, and can accommodate up to six passengers. The YT-1300 measures 26.7 meters in length, and can hold 100 metric tons of cargo. The YT-1300 is armed with a single laser cannon, but carries to defensive shielding. The main hull is disk-shaped, with two trapezoidal pods extending from the front. The cockpit is offset-mounted on the right side of the disk. The top sublight speed of a YT-1300 is around 65 MGLT. 100-SBD shields protect a 50-RU hull. One of the primary drawbacks of this model transport is the off-center cockpit placement. While the cockpit can be positioned on either the left or right side, this positioning leaves a great deal of the ship out of the pilot's view. While this is common for larger ships, the off-center placement makes it much harder to maneuver in tight spaces for many new pilots. The more skittish of these captains often install five-axis, laser-ranging pods near the front mandibles, in order to provide them realtime information about the parts of the ship they can't see. (SW, SCRE, TIE, TT, E1A2) YT-1300f this was a modification to the basic YT-1300 freighter produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. It was given a slightly better hyperdrive, allowing the freighter to reach its destination faster than the standard model. Because of this upgrade, the YT-1300f found a niche among transport operations shipping medical supplies to the battlefronts of the Clone Wars. (MBS) YT-1500 this was one of the many variants developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation from the basic YT-series of light freighters. (SBS) YT-1760 this was one of the many varieties of YT-series freighters and transports produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Measuring 20 meters in length, the YT-1760 incorporated the saucer-shaped hull of the YT-1300 with a center-mounted cockpit. Three sublight engines were arranged along the rear of the round hull. However, the YT-1760 lacked the durability of the earlier members of the YT-series, and it didn't take well to upgrades and modifications. It was produced without standard armament, and could transport up to eight passengers and 10 metric tons of cargo. (GMR2) YT-1930 this variant on the successful YT-1300 series was only moderately successful for the Corellian Engineering Corporation. From the central passageway forward, the YT-1930 was an exact duplicate of the YT-1300, with the exception being that the rounded cockpit was mounted between the forward mandibles. However, from the centerline back, the ship was unique. A pair of wing-like cargo bays flared outward from each side, while the drives were situated between them. The ship resembled a flying V. It measured 35 meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It could transport up to six passengers and 200 metric tons of cargo with ease. It could be armed with a single, turret-mounted laser cannon. (WSV, WOTC) YT-2000 this Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter was based on the venerable YT-1300 line. It measured 29 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of twin turbolasers, a laser cannon, and an ion cannon. Its cockpit was mounted in the center of the ship. (XWA) YT-2400 one of the light freighters in CEC's successful YT-series, the YT-2400 incorporates the saucer-shaped hull design that made the YT-1300 popular. However, the YT-2400 does not have the paired, forward-facing mandibles. It is simply the saucer hull with a heavily-braced cockpit section off to the right side. The YT-2400 has improved hull plating, power to spare, and additional space in the cargo and engine compartments. Thus, it was easily modified to accommodate larger engines and smuggling compartments. At 21 meters in length, the YT-2400 was also slightly smaller than its predecessors, although it had the capacity to transport up to six passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo. Flying the YT-2400 demanded the skills of a pilot and co-pilot. The basic configuration was simply armed with a turret-mounted laser cannon. (SE, EGV, SS) YT-450a a clunky-looking transport ship from Corellian Engineering Corporation. (GMH) YT-700 this older Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design was a basic transport craft. It measured 21.7 meters in length. (SWJ5) Y'taa a planet which petitioned the New Republic for membership during the Yevethan Great Purge. (BTS) Ytavarg Aleema this near-human was the child of human and Keed parents. He was known among the Keed as a great lettranin player, and was recruited to play shockball by Ger Plortor. Ytavarg emerged as one of the galaxy's most famous shockball players, during the height of the New Order. A member of the Shad Furies, Aleema earned a great deal of credit from a lucrative contract. After a match against the Quent Assassins, which the Assassins won 21-20, Ytavarg tried to rescue Ap Kormar from being beaten by some Furies fans. They killed Kormar before Aleema could intervene, claiming that they were making an example of Kormar to warn other Alliance sympathizers against taking action. In anger, Aleema used his shockball equipment to kill all seven of the attackers, an action which earned him a short suspension from league play. However, Aleema was determined to extinguish the xenophobia embraced by the Empire, and found himself trying to join the Alliance. After making contact with an Alliance agent, Aleema offered whatever services he could, either physical or financial. He had established a mansion on the planet of Melinz, which he secretly used as a safehouse for Alliance agents. Aleema himself was a foster agent, and secretly funneled a large portion of his income to the Alliance. He maintained a very public presence, providing endorsements and merchandising rights in order to earn more credits, which he later funneled to the Alliance.

The Y'tras were the primary race which took to the stars after the Shatra discovered spaceflight, and eventually found throughout the galaxy. (AE) Y'Trella this planet, located in the Y'Trella system of the Outer Rim Territories, was the site of the destruction of Churhee's Riflemen. (GG9, SWJ12) Y'Troub System see Y'Toub System (TF) Ytterbium a key element in the production of laser cannons, much of the galaxy's ytterbium came from the Sarrahban System. The Alliance used stabilized ytterbium in conjunction with baradium, in an effort to make using the explosive much less risky. (RPG, ROE) YU-1300 according to Destiny's Way, this was the model number of the Millennium Falcon. This is most likely a typesetting error. (DW) YU-410 this Corellian Engineering Corporation transport was part of the YU series, which was introduced after the YT-1300 became so popular. Unfortunately, the YU series lacked the YT's modularity and ease of upgrading, and didn't sell well. The YU-410 was no exception, and also suffered from underpowered drives. However, it was twice the size of the YT-1300 and was heavily armored, and it found favor among small businesses which made regular runs through dangerous star systems. It was also heavily armed in its standard configuration, with four double laser cannons. The YU-410 measured 44 meters in length, and required a crew of four officers and four gunners. It could transport up to 250 metric tons of cargo and twelve passengers. (GMR2) Yubicon this Romin served as the chief of staff for dictator Roy Teda,as well as a General in the Security Management Control agency, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When the Citizens' Resistance launched their revolution and overthrew Teda, he fled his palace under the protection of General Yubicon and Jenna Zan Arbor. However, as Teda was forced to submit to the will and demands of Zan Arbor, Yubicon began to question his loyalty to Teda, who obviously wasn't the Great Leader he claimed to be. When Jedi reinforcements arrived on Romin, Yubicon and his commanders surrendered immediately. (JQ8) Yubnub! this Ewok exclamation translated into Basic as "Hooray!" (BTRKS26) Yubookoo this Wookiee was one of several members of his race to be enslaved on the planet Geonosis, and forced to fight in the gladiator arenas to earn his survival. In order to fight without impediment, Yubookoo trimmed his black fur to a short stubble. He fought with wild abandon, knowing that he would eventually die in the ring, and was known to have defeated sixteen Geonosian warriors. Yubookoo preferred to fight with the petranaki scimitar. (GORW) Yudrish Sedran this Chalactan served his homeworld as a Senator in the Old Republic's Galactic Senate, during the years leading up the Clone Wars. Senator Sedran opposed the Military Creation Act, mainly due to the influence of Jedi Master Depa Billaba.

(KOTOR) Yumfla this was the primary starport operated on the moon Suarbi 7/5. It was also the site of the Imperial governor's palace, a fortress-like affair surrounded by eight-meter-tall walls and guarded by stormtroopers. The palace itself was triangular in shape, with tall towers are each corner. The front two towers were thick squat cyclinders, while the rearward toward was a tall rectangle with the central section small in area that those above and below it. It appeared as if a fist had squeezed this section. (IJ) Yumi this heavy-bodied plant's origins are not known, but it thrives on many worlds throughout the galaxy. The sap taken from its bulbous stem is useful in the creation of bubble wort, and is also used as a sweet dessert topping. A single flower grows from its round body. (GF, IG1) Yun this Aqualish mercenary worked for Miktiss as a lieutenant within the Des'maric Pirates. (DARK) Yun this being was a member of the Sith warriors who subjugated the planet Taris, during the height of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR) Yun the youngest of the Dark Jedi serving under Jerec, Yun was a cocky, unpredictable Epicanthrix youth striving to prove his power. Much of his original training was under the guidance of Sariss, who could not fully rein in the impulsive youth. Not physically imposing, Yun relied on the surprise he gained when attacking his opponents in brash ways. As a youth, Yun grew up on the planet Panatha, the son of wealthy mineral baron. When he came of age, Yun was sent to Bunduki by his father, to learn the patience and temperment of the Followers of Palawa. His instructors refused to teach of the teras kasi, and Yun returned to Panatha to complain to his father. The baron decided that Yun would be better schooled at home, and turned the boy's training over to his fiance', a member of the Church of the Dark Side named Sariss. The pair became very close, but Sariss refused to be drawn into an affair because of her vows to Yun's father. Angry at being rebuffed, Yun killed his father to earn her love. With this act, his fall to the Dark Side of the Force was completed, but Yun came to understand that Sariss didn't actually love him. She proceeded to seize his father's assets and turned them over to Jerec. She turned Yun's training over to Jerec as well. Jerec demanded proof of Yun's loyalty, and sent the boy back to Bunduki to execute his Palawa masters. Later, during the search for the Valley of the Jedi, Yun attempted to kill Kyle Katarn at Baron's Hed, but was defeated by Katarn. After the Valley of the Jedi was discovered on Ruusan, Katarn again spared Yun's life. Yun was then visited by the spirit of Jedi Master Qu Rahn, who urged Yun to seek redemption. Acting on this, Yun stepped in to prevent Sariss from killing Katarn. Unfortunately, Sariss showed no such mercy and killed Yun. His body was absorbed by the energy of the Valley and disappeared. (DF2, RAG, NEGC, WOTC) Yu'nar this Trianii word described the female tribunals which monitor and rule their society. (CSA) Yunax this was a species of avian known for its aimless flights. A common phrase used to describe a misguided endeavor was as a "wild yunax chase." (HT) Yuned a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "thunder". (GCG) Yun-Harla this Yuuzhan Vong deity was known as the Cloaked Goddess, or the Trickster. She was often prayed to in tandem with Yun-Yammka, in order for the warrior to have guidance as well as strength in his battle. Yun-Harla was never visible to her servants, and was never actually portrayed in Yuuzhan Vong writings or pictures. It was believed that her body was formed from borrowed parts, and was covered with borrowed skin. Some Yuuzhan Vong even believed that Yun-Harla's eyes were villips, while others believed them to be the actual eyes of Yun-Yuuzhan, which were discarded when the Creator ascended to a higher plane of existence. Her clothing, whenever she wore it, was designed to confuse and deceive those who saw her. Thus, only her spirit actually made contact with those Yuuzhan Vong who worshipped her. Shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant, Jaina Solo stole the frigate Ksstarr and renamed it the Trickster, as a goad to the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar. However, this monicker eventually became something more, as Jaina discovered how to fool Yuuzhan Vong sensors into believing that another ship was actually the Trickster. Among the subordinate Yuuzhan Vong who served Harrar, there was a growing belief that Jaina Solo was actually Yun-Harla made incarnate. This belief was based on the relationship between Yun-Harla and Yun-Yammka, which greatly resembled the relationship between Jaina and her twin brother, Jacen. At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina that he had come to believe she was actually Yun-Harla, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. (VP, DJ, DW, NJOSB, UF) Yunkor IX this planet was the site of an early test of the B-Wing, in which a single B-Wing took out a TIE Fighter staging area near the world. (XW) Yun-Ne'Shel this hermaphroditic Yuuzhan Vong deity was worshipped by the Shapers, and represented life itself. Yun-Ne'Shel was believed to have created all forms of life with the tools and materials presented to her by Yun-Yuuzhan. She was considered among the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong gods as something of an iedalistic fool, having preached about a peaceful galaxy where all life existed equally. Her dreams of an ideal galaxy were shattered by Yun-Harla and Yun-Yammka, the twin gods who shaped the Yuuzhan Vong civilization the most. Shapers worshipped Yun-Ne'Shel, who was known as She-Who-Shapes or The Modeler, in an organic grotto which was similar in form to a yammosk, and was created to enhance the mental abilities of any who entered it. Within the body of the grotto were nodules of flesh which were essentially mouths, filled with eight knife-like teeth, Each Shaper Adept was required to enter the chamber and meditate before placing a hand into the nodule's mouth. The teeth then closed over the wrist and bit through flesh and bone. Once the teeth clamped down, the nodule flexed and twisted ninety degrees, neatly severing the hand. The Adept was then fitted with a new hand, which was grown to provide the Shaper with the tools they used in their work. At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina Solo that he had come to believe that Tahiri Veila was actually Yun-Ne'Shel, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. (EVC, FH2, UF) Yun'o this was a term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to collectively describe their pantheon of gods. (DW, UF) Yun-Q'aah this Yuuzhan Vong deity was known as one of the Lovers, along with Yun-Txiin. Together, these two sibling deities protected those Yuuzhan Vong who discovered the emotion and passion of love, although they forbade relationships between castes. Worshippers of Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin were part of a religious movement known as the Undying Flame. (EVC, SBS) Yun-Shuno this was the most grotesque of the Yuuzhan Vong gods. Also known as the Pardoner, Yun-Shuno was the patron diety of the Shamed Ones, those Yuuzhan Vong whose bodies refused to accept implants of surge-coral and implanters during the ritual of Escalation. Among the more escalated castes, Yun-Shuno was referred to as the "many-eyed mother of snivelers." At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina Solo that he had come to believe her brother, Jacen, was actually Yun-Shuno, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. (JE, EVC, DW, UF) Yun-Txiin this Yuuzhan Vong deity was known as one of the Lovers, along with Yun-Q'aah. Together, these two sibling deities protected those Yuuzhan Vong who discovered the emotion and passion of love, although they forbade relationships between castes. Worshippers of Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin were part of a religious movement known as the Undying Flame. (EVC, SBS) Yun-Yammka this deity was the Yuuzhan Vong god of war and carnage. Known as The Slayer, Yun-Yammka resembled a large brain with a single eye and a puckered mouth. An array of tentacles emerged from around its body. Every Yuuzhan Ving warrior kept a statue of Yun-Yammka among his possessions, and prayed to Yun-Yammka for strength in battle. After the Second Battle of Coruscant, the Yuuzhan Vong planned to retake Borleias and turn the entire planet into a shrine for the priests of Yun-Yammka, as much to appease the priests as to discredit Domain Kraal. Yun-Yammka was often associated with the Trickster goddess, Yun-Harla. Because of this, many Yuuzhan Vong began to assocate Yun-Yammka with Jacen Solo, especially after his twin sister, Jaina, adopted the guise of Yun-Harla. At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina that he had come to believe her uncle, Luke Skywalker, was actually Yun-Yammka, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. Harrar later revealed that, in fact, there was no original god named Yun-Yammka. This deity was created by the priest caste after the ur-Yuuzhan Vong were severed from the Force and took up their warring ways. (VP, EL1, DW, FH2, UF) Yun-Yuuzhan this was the greatest of the deities worshipped by the Yuuzhan Vong. Yun-Yuuzhan was known as the Cosmic Lord or the Creator. Yun-Yuuzhan was considered the beginning of all that existed, and it was Yun-Yuuzhan who took parts of his own body to form the other gods as well as the Yuuzhan Vong themselves. Thus, statues of Yun-Yuuzhan often appeared incomplete, representing his own sacrifices. After the Yuuzhan Vong reformed the planet Coruscant into a representation of Yuuzhan'tar, an underground group of Shamed Ones began to spread The Message of the Jedi Knights. Nom Anor, cast out of his role as Executor because of his treachery, rallied the Shamed Ones while posing as the prophet Yu'shaa. Part of his heretical beliefs involved the true nature of the Force, and Yu'shaa theorized that the Force was actually the remnant of Yun-Yuuzhan's soul, after Yun-Yuuzhan gave birth to the universe. This theory, when repeated by countless Shamed Ones, evolved over time to state that the Force was actually the linger exhalations of Yun-Yuuzhan, instilling power in the Jedi Knights and linking the two civilizations together. (JE, EVC, FH2, NJOSB, UF) Yur T'aug this Bothan was a Captain in the security force which patrolled Coruscant's Imperial City, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Distinguished by his dark fur and flowing beard, Captain T'aug was dispatched to investigate the murder of Fligh. He had also been the primary investigator of the death of Ren S'orn, but had been asked to drop the investigation by Ren's mother, Senator Uta S'orn. (DH, EVE) Yura Telamarch this tall, dome-headed humanoid was the ruler of Bezim, and one of the founders of the Station 88 Spaceport. When the founders of the station met with Count Dooku on Null to discuss a possible alliance with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Telamarch decided to side with Lorian Nod and throw his support to the Old Republic. Dooku decided that this was not an acceptable answer, and brought in twelve super battle droids in order to force an agreement. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, managed to defeat the battle droids and svae the leaders, but Dooku managed to escape. (LOJ) Yurb this little-known arid planet was the homeworld of the razor-tailed tiger. (MBS) Yurdak Fav this Shistavanen Wolfman was considered a threat to the Alliance. Her great-great-grandmother was a scout for the Republic Survey Corps until Emperor Palpatine rose to power, at which time she quit. Yurdak herself went into the scouting business, working for the Uvena System Constabulary before striking out on her own. She was spotted in the vicinity of several planets which the Alliance had planned to use as safeworlds, but it was unknown whom she was working for at the time. She traveled the galaxy in her starship, the Vangaard Pathfinder Zoll-Uvena. (AIR) Yurf Col this Duros served as a Commander in the New Republic military, and served under General Wedge Antilles during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After the Battle of Duro, Yurf Col and many of his fellow Duros could barely contain their desire to return and liberate their homeworld. Col believed that his chance had come when Antilles ordered a task force to be dispatched to Duro. Unknown to Col, however, was that the mission was simply a feint, meant to draw in as many Yuuzhan Vong warships as possible. Once the enemy ships were in-system, New Republic interdictors would trap them there and destroy them. A secondary plan involved the reduction of Yuuzhan Vong forces at Fondor, allowing the Republic to retake the planet. Although Antilles feared that Col and the Duros might be too emotionally involved in the fight, he still hoped Col could be counted on to obey orders. Yurf Col, however, refused to simply sit back and watch his forces whittled away while more and more Yuuzhan Vong warships entered the arena. Col, furious with Antilles' seeming unconcern about the fate of the Duro System, resigned his commission. Col's forces, including his own ship Dpso and several Duros-commanded warships, tried to break ranks and attack the aliens themselves. However, without the support of the rest of the New Republic fleet, all the Duros ships were destroyed by Yuuzhan Vong forces. (FP) Yurfloo this slow-acting poison was created by the scientists working for Hurn Jak. There was only one known antidote. (GMS) Yurp this alcoholic beverage was created on the planet Ryloth, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FP) Yus Sh'roth this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived with Vuurok I'pan beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Sh'roth was once a Shaper, and was one of the older members of I'pan's small cadre of friends. Like the rest of their cadre, Sh'roth believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. Sh'roth was serving sentry duty when the small band of heretics was discovered by Yuuzhan Vong warriors. Sh'roth was the first to die as the warriors attacked the Shamed Ones mercilessly. (FH1) Yusanis this being was one of the most famous and feared of the Echani warriors who were active in the galxy during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War. When Yusanis discovered that an Echani Senator had been killed by Darth Revan, he set out to confront the Sith Lord and bring him to justice. Despite his own skills and the special weapons of cortosis-weave that he used, Yusanis was quickly defeated by Darth Revan and forced to submit. (KOTOR) Yusani's Blade this ancient weapon was believed to have been used by Canderous Ordo during the Great Sith War. (KOTOR) Yusanis' Brand this ancient weapon was believed to have been the personal staff of the Echani warrior Yusanis, who met his match when he challenged Darth Revan to a duel. (KOTOR) Yush this given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG) Yu'shaa this was the name adopted by Nom Anor after he survived a Yuuzhan Vong attack on a Shamed One enclave on Coruscant, after the alien invaders transformed the planet into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. The name, which translated into the Basic language as "The Prophet", was meant to indicate that Nom Anor had decided to become the living vessel for carrying The Message to the rest of the Shamed Ones. He began gathering legions of Shamed Ones to his cause, furthering The Message of the Jedi while building a base of power rfom which he could strike back at Supreme Overlord Shimrra and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong who had turned their backs on him. As Yu'shaa, Nom Anor wore a hideous mask that represented Shimrra and the Yuuzhan Vong gods. He wore the mask at the beginning of his speeches, but soon removed it to reveal his own visage. Of course, his own face was covered with an ooglith masquer, but Yu'shaa's removal of the mask symbolized the throwing off of the old ways and the old gods. Among the heretical beliefs proposed by Yu'shaa was the theory that the Force was actually the soul of Yun-Yuuzhan, cast into the universe when Yun-Yuuzhan created it. His ruse was revealed on the planet Zonama Sekot, after Tahiri told Harrar and Corran Horn that it had been Nom Anor who killed Nen Yim. When Nom Anor returned to Shimrra on Coruscant and was escalated to Prefect of Yuuzhan'tar, the Shamed Ones did not falter in their belief of Yu'shaa. Instead, they made the Prophet a martyr, killed at the hands of Shimrra himself for his pursuit of the living planet Zonama Sekot. Much to the relief of the believers, Yu'shaa reappeared, and warned them that their plans to disrupt Shimrra's grand ceremony had been discovered. Kunra, however, was noy about to let Nom Anor put a stop to the plans of the Shamed Ones. He twisted the warnings to encite the masses, forcing Yu'shaa to lead his people into battle. Nom Anor found himself caught between two masters, but his quest for power was smashed when Shimrra odered the World Brain of Coruscant to destroy the planet, rather than have it fall into the hands of the Galactic Alliance. Angry that Shimrra had cast him aside, Nom Anor shed his Prefect's robes and took up the cloak of a Shamed One. He led the Shamed Ones into battle as Yu'shaa, demanding that the Yuuzhan Vong warriors be slaughtered. (FH1, FH2, FP, UF) Yushan System a Mid-Rim planetary system containing the planet Kaal. (SWJ2) Yusk this was a major agricultural center found on the planet Rodia. (HNN5) Yusko this alien wasn't convinced that fingerprint masques were a good solution for hiding one's identity. Yusko warned that skin oils and other genetic material could be left behind on such a device, which would help police investigators determine your true identity. (GUN) Yustavan this Gutretee shaman had some control of the Force. He used it to heal the members of the Old Republic who came to Isis. He also used it to heal combatants in the Gutretee ritual of a struggle to reveal evil. (IC) Yuster, Tan this young Jedi Padawan was being trained by Agen Kolar during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Unfortunately, Yuster was killed during the opening stages of the Battle of Geonosis, when the Jedi forces were trapped in the gladiator arena by the droid armies of the Separatists. (OWS) Yut this was a common name given to male 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) Yut ehda this was the Ewok word for "alas". (BTRKS26) Yutani this man served the Alliance as a scout and heavy weapons specialist. A Captain in rank, Yutani was known to use micro-repulsor engines in his field armor. The small repulsors allowed him to move smoothly and quickly while carrying and operating light field artillery weapons. He served as part of the ground assault force led by Han Solo during the Battle of Endor. (CCG10) Yuth this was a common name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "resourceful". (GCG) Yuth ugh this Yuuzhan Vong phrase translates loosely to the command, "Do what I say." It was often used to warn others to wait for their leader before acting. (VP, UFCD) Yuth ugh this Yuuzhan Vong command was used to awaken a qipat firewasp that was contained inside the shell of a tzur'qipat. Note that the New Jedi Order Sourcebook indicates that this phrase was a command, used to tell another individual to "get back." (GMR8, NJOSB) Yutrane-Tackata this military contractor produced a variety of armored vehicles during the early period of the New Order. (FC) Yutusk a backwater planet subjugated by the Empire early in the New Order. (CRO) Yuuzhan Vong this race of beings was native to an extra-galactic galaxy which was devastated by warfare and biotechnology. Evolving first on the planet Yuuzhan'tar, the Yuuzhan Vong worshipped a complex pantheon of gods. Ancient texts discovered by Yuuzhan Vong scholars revealed that, at some point in the distant past, their homeworld was invaded by a highly technological race. More machine that living flesh, these invaders set out to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong. The Yuuzhan Vong, in turn, called upon their gods for help. Although the exact nature of the assistance was clouded by time, the gods provided the Yuuzhan Vong with information on how to use living resources into weapons. After defeating the technological beings who had invaded their world, the Yuuzhan Vong believed themselves to be the chosen masters of their galaxy, a right bestowed upon them by their gods. This new-found pride, along with the skills of war, drove the Yuuzhan Vong away from their gods, and was believed to have resulted in their disconnection with the Force. When individual clans finally conquered all worlds in their galaxy, they began warring amongst themselves. In a millennia-long battle known as the Cremlevian War, Yuuzhan Vong tribes fought to exterminate each other, laying waste to most of their habitable planets. With the end of the Cremlevian War and the unification of the clans, the Yuuzhan Vong found themselves living in a galaxy that contained dead and lifeless worlds. Taking to the stars, they set out to cross the intergalactic void to find a new home, a journey which would take thousands of years and end with the discovery of the New Republic. Roughly humanoid in shape, they often mutilated their bodies with scars and tattoos in order to prove their worth to their gods. Being from another galaxy, the Yuuzhan Vong cellular structure contained no midi-chlorians, thereby rendering them untouchable to the Force. The fleshy faces of the Yuuzhan Vong are distinguished by several key features, in addition to the scars and tattoos that define their social standing: bluish sacks beneath their eyes, sloping foreheads, and lipless mouths. They were masters of organic technology, using all sorts of lesser creatures to perform highly advanced tasks. However, they frowned upon biological diversity, and took severe steps to wipe out or subjugate the other species encountered in their home galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong society was broken down into three primary castes - warriors, shapers, and intendants - and the minor castes of workers and priests. Much of the Yuuzhan Vong society was centered on the worship of several gods and goddesses, and the belief in those deities forces each member of society to understand his or her place in the universe. Each ritual scarring and tattooing added to the social stature of an individual, and the pattern of disfigurement provided information about the individual's class. It was later discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong had visited the known galaxy some fifty years before their attacks on Belkadan and Dubrillion, when Anki Pace found the remains of a warrior on Bimmiel. After destroying almost every habitable world in their own galaxy, the Yuuzhan Vong created a fleet of worldships and set out to locate another galaxy which they could conquer and inhabit. Somehow, they had penetrated the hyperspacial disturbance which isolated the known galaxy and traveled across the intergalactic gulf. This journey took "incalculable millennia", and was predicated on the death of the original Yuuzhan Vong homeworld, Yuuzhan'tar. Vast numbers of genetic and cellular samples were taken from Yuuzhan'tar, in order for the Yuuzhan Vong to survive the trip. Chief among these samples were the cells of the World Brain that lived at the heart of the planet. The journey necessitated the use of living ships to assist in surviving the journey, which ended when this galaxy was discovered. The initial foray to Bimmiel served as advance intelligence, and gave the Yuuzhan Vong some idea of what life forms existed in the galaxy, as well as their military strength. After establishing a base on Belkadan, the Vong began capturing pirates and enslaving them as laborers on Belkadan. They used gricha larva to form huge, shell-like dwellings wherever they traveled, creating living chambers inside the spiralled nacreous material of the shell. After the Battle of Ithor, it was learned that the Yuuzhan Vong had been experimenting with the various alien species they had displaced while invading the galaxy. Most of the specimens died or were sacrificed, due to their inability to withstand the unusual biological manipulations of the Yuuzhan Vong. Eventually, the Yuuzhan Vong pushed into the Core Worlds and captured Coruscant. The cityworld was quickly demolished, with many structures being destroyed by falling skyhooks and satellites. A World Brain was installed in a yorik coral cavern, and the planet Yuuzhan'tar was rebuilt as the new Yuuzhan Vong homeworld. For many months, a sort of peace existed between the Yuuzhan Vong and the New Republic, as both sides paused to rebuild their forces and defend what each held. This changed at the Battle of Ebaq, where Warmaster Tsavong Lah and his forces were soundly defeated. Tsavong Lah himself was killed in combat by Jaina Solo, and Supreme Overlord Shimrra vowed to destroy anything that got in the way of galactic conquest. However, it was the rediscovery of the planet Zonama Sekot that helped bring the two sides together. Luke Skywalker, Jacen Solo, and the priest Harrar were on Zonama Sekot when it fled the Klasse Ephemora System, and spent many days trying to commune with Sekot. When they did, Harrar revealed that some Yuuzhan Vong believed that they had not fled their home galaxy, but instead had been exiled from it. When Jacen reasoned that this exile might have involved separating the Yuuzhan Vong from the Force, Sekot understood why the Yuuzhan Vong were not visible to the Jedi. They had been stripped of any connection to the Force by their gods - in actuality, the Force itself - a painful act of separation that the Yuuzhan Vong had been trying to reconcile for generations. Only the Shaper Onimi was able to ever regain the connection, after grafting yammosk cells to his own neural pathways, thereby restoring "innocent" living tissue to his Yuuzhan Vong cells. The war between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance came to an end at Coruscant, after Zonama Sekot appeared and both Shimrra and Onimi were killed in battle. The cost of the war was estimated to have been some 365 trillion beings, but in the end the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to surrender and find their place within the galaxy. Many chose to commit suicide rather than surrender, and many others simply fled into the galaxy's farthest reaches. However, the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi Knights agreed that Zonama Sekot was the true home of the Yuuzhan Vong, especially in light of the revelations made by Sekot itself. Although a handful of Yuuzhan Vong remained opposed to any sort of surrender, those who returned to Coruscant were transported to Zonama Sekot. The planet, which was actually the offspring of Yuuzhan'tar, took the Yuuzhan Vong and fled into hyperspace, to find a new home somewhere in the Unknown Regions. (VP, DTO, HT, T, DW, FH1, SWI66, NJOSB, UF) Yuuzhan Vong this was the name of the language that was spoken by the Yuuzhan Vong. (UANT) Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One see YVH 1 (SBS) Yuuzhan Vong War this was the name given to the five-year span of history in which the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the New Republic. (WOTC) Yuuzhandroid this was the name, coined by Garm Bel Iblis, for the YVH 1 combat droid. (SBS) Yuuzhan'tar this was the name of the long-lost homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong race. In the native language of the Yuuzhan Vong, the name meant "Creche' of the Gods." It had been abandoned many millennia ago, when the Yuuzhan Vong fled into space to seek out a new galaxy in which to live. Much of the planet was governed by the predatory nature of its indigenous species, a characteristic which manifested itself in the social consciousness of the Yuuzhan Vong. Some 25 years after the Battle of Endor, after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, they targetted the planet Coruscant as a replacement for Yuuzhan'tar. In addition to the fact that Coruscant was located near the center of the galaxy, the loss of the capital planet would serve to fracture the already brittle New Republic. Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool oversaaw the development of several dhuryam candidates, and allowed Vergere and Nom Anor to allow Jacen Solo to interact with the candidates. After taking Coruscant from the Republic and destroying all its orbital satellites, skyhooks, and other technology, the planet was seeded with lichens and mosses which broke down the various building materials used to construct the city-world. Then, once the World Brain was installed in a yorik coral bunker, Vongforming began in earnest. Within months, Coruscant's urban landscape had been transformed into a passable simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. The Yuuzhan Vong went so far as to destroy one of Coruscant's larger moons, using the debris to create the Rainbow Bridge and further seed the planetary resources. Immense dovin basals dragged Coruscant into a tighter orbit around its star, giving the planet a more tropical atmosphere. However, Jacen Solo's relationship with the dhuryam that controlled the planet and its reformation was seemingly stronger than any relationship the dhuryam had to a Yuuzhan Vong, for it agreed to help him cause all manner of trouble with the completion of Coruscant's transformation. Eventually, this forced Supreme Overlord Shimrra to command a huge sacrifice be made to the gods, to show them that the planet - and the galaxy - was ready for conquering. This ceremony was thwarted by the Shamed Ones who rallied behind the message of the Prophet, Yu'shaa. Shortly afterward, the Yuuzhan Vong on the planet awoke to find that the living planet of Zonama Sekot had traveled from across the galaxy into a position above the planet. Zonama Sekot destroying the Rainbow Bridge which had been created in orbit around the planet, and scattered the remaining three moons into new locations. This set off a number of seismic events that rocked the planet to its core, damaging or destroying the work of the Yuuzhan Vong. 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. During the final battle for control of the galaxy, Zonama Sekot acted purely in a defensive mode, choosing to "fight without fighting" against the Yuuzhan Vong. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi forced the alien invaders to surrender, Sekot revealed that the planet - as well as its own consciousness - were actually the offspring of long-lost Yuuzhan'tar. The ancient planet had shed a piece of itself and flung it into the intergalactic void, hoping that someday it would awaken and evolve into a new homeworld for the Yuuzhan Vong. The Galactic Alliance, acting with this knowledge and the advice of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, agreed to spare any Yuuzhan Vong who surrendered. These individuals were transferred to Zonama Sekot, which welcomed them with open arms as long as they chose to ignore their warring ways and try to live in peace. Zonama Sekot then fled into the Unknown Regions to allow the Yuuzhan Vong to find their way in peace. (DJ, T, FP, UF) Yuvern System a planetary system located in the Oplovis Sector, Yuvern was the site of an Alliance battle with the Oplovis fleet during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (RASB) Yuyu this was the Jawa word for "yes". (TG) Yuz meaning "negative" - or, more literally, "empty", in reference to a phase of Rodia's moon - this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG) Yuzz this was the name of the language spoken by the Yuzzem race. There was no written form of the Yuzz language, which was made up of a collection of growls, roars, and mewls which were unpronounceable by other races. (UANT) Yuzzem this race of fur-covered humanoids was native to the planet Ragna III. They were feline in stature, with long snouts and tremendous strength. They awee tall aliens with a tempermental disposition. Their massive arms reach all the way to the ground, even when standing, and ended in huge hands. They were reported to have the strength and stamina of three men, and also suffered from long, intense hangovers when they get drunk. They were enslaved by the Empire and used in labor camps. Luke and Leia team up with two Yuzzem after escaping from Grammel's prison on Mimban. (SME, EGA) Yuzzum this was the native language of the Yuzzumi race. It was considered by many linguists to have been the root language of Ewokese. (IWST) Yuzzum an alien race native to Endor's forest moon, yuzzums were actually a variety of fur-covered mammals who were part of the same zoological family. They have round, furry bodies supported by long, thin legs. These long legs are used to keep the yuzzum's head just barely above the savanna grasses of the Dragon's Pelt, where the yuzzum hunt for ruggers. Their wide mouths are filled with pointed teeth. Their eyes seem to glow. They ride on large, three-meter-tall spider-like creatures. The yuzzum has a fair amount of intelligence, but seem incapable of understanding other lifeforms. They have been taken off the moon and sold as pets, but their nature does not make them very good pets. The yuzzum have a musical language, and they have found employment offworld as singers. (HTTE, AT, ISU, CCG7) Yuzzumi see Yuzzum (HTTE) YV-100 this was the first of Corellian Engineering Corporation's YV-series transports, produced during the early years of the New Order. Technically, the YV-series was superior to the popular YT-series, but lacked the YT's upgradability. The YV-100 was shaped like an arrowhead, with a box-like cockpit mounted on a central spine. The main hull resembled that of the YT-1300, while two large sublight engines and two ion engines were mounted across the flatten rear section. Although the ship was moderately powered, this allowed CEC to sell the ships at a reduced cost. At 46.5 meters in length, the YV-100 was one of the larger ships produced in this YV series, and it required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It could transport up to ten passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a pair of blaster cannons and two laser cannons. (GMR2) YV-260 this Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter measured 41.5 meters in length, and produced during the last years of the Old Republic. (TF) YV-330 this Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter design incorporated the rectangular cockpit of the earlier YV-100 transport, but was created as a smaller ship for individual use. At 26 meters in length, the YV-330 was easy to operate, but suffered from the lack of upgradability which plagued the YV series. In its stock form, the YV-330 was armed with a pair of blaster cannons, and could transport up to six passengers and 5 metric tons of cargo. Many owners paid extra to have their YV-3300's upgraded to support additional weaponry, for added protection from pirates. (GMR2, TCG8) YV-545 this Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter was developed to replace the aging YT-series freighters, but it never quite gained the popularity of its predecessor. The YV-545 had a long, tall, narrow hull, with the cockpit and living space located at the top. The engine section was distinguished by a pair of maneuvering fins. This design made the YV-545 more maneuverable and a bit sturdier than the YT-series, but it lacked the visual appeal of the YT-1300. (RESB) Y-v-6 this was a type of sublight drive system used by Suwantek Systems on the TL-1800 transport. It was extremely reliable, requiring only yearly maintenance. (SS) YV-664 this Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter was produced during the height of the New Order. It had the familiar saucer-shaped hull of the YT-series, but had its two forward mandible arms mounted at the outer edge of the hull, oppose one another. The drive section was similar to that of a YT-1300. In between the two mandibles were four escape pods. The cockpit was mounted on the right side of the ship, at the base of the right-hand mandible. While the YV-664 possessed a balanced combination of speed, cargo space, and durability, the positioning of the cockpit caused many blindspots for pilots. (TCG3) YV-666 this Corellian Engineering Coroporation light freighter design was unique in shape from many other transports. It had a large, rectangular main section at the front of the ship that was used for cargo storage. A small bridge pod was mounted on the front end of the rectangle. The rear of the ship was needle-shaped power core and engine drive system. Attached to this rear section were a pair of extendable maneuvering vanes. The ship measured twenty-three meters in length. (EGC, EGV, NEGV) YV-888 this Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter as produced during the early years of the New Republic. (SBS) YV-929 this was the last of the YV-series transports produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. At 22 meters in length, the YV-929 was a small ship that was marketed as an "armed freighter," designed to give small shippers and merchants a fighting chance to survive pirate raids and ambushes. Built on the same keel as the original YV-100, the fuselage of the YV-929 was enhanced with a pair of external bays that increased its cargo capacity. A domed "parlor" was added below the cockpit, in an effort to make the ship appeal to a more civilian audience. Unfortunately, all of these structural modifications left the YV-929 with little integrity. Many of these ships started popping their seems as soon as the shields were breached, limiting the ship's ability to survive a firefight. The YV-929 was armed with a pair of double turbolaser cannons, two ion cannons, two triple blasters, and four concussion missile launchers. The basic crew included a pilot and three gunners, and could carry up to six passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo. (GMR2) Yvara this planet, located within the Kathol Rift, was the homeworld of the Yvarema race. It was a dry, temperate planet of low mountains and fungus-covered plains. It orbited a blue-white star in Kathol Sector. The average day on Yvara lasted 36 standard hours, while its year lasted 453 local days. (KR) Yvarema this species of humanoids was one of the rare examples of a hive mind which evolved in a non-insectoid, mammalian species. There were no mindless drones in Yvarema soceity, and each individual was able to develop a personality on its own. However, their intelligence was ensconced in the being known as the Majjvara, while the Majjvara was completely dependent on the rest of Yvarema society for her survival. The average Yvarema was a bulky humanoid with furred head and shoulders, a scaled torso and legs, and a short, thick tail. Their society was broken into four distinct groups, in addition to the Majjvara herself. Workers were the most common Yvarema, being neuter individuals with strong muscles and great stamina. Explorer-scouts had a fat- and water-storing hump on their backs, and were thinner than the workers. Their role was to locate food and resources for the group. Lore gatherers are among the longest-lived Yvarema, second only to the Majjvara in longevity. Their role is to act as librarians and scholars for Yvarema society. The royal explorers were extremely limited in number, and were developed during the modern era of the galaxy after the Yvarema discovered space travel. Unfortunately for the Yvarema, their strong bodies and limited individual intelligence made them prime targets for slavers who worked in the Kathol Outback. Those Yvarema who were separated from their homeworld felt an unending urge to return to their homeworld of Yvara. (KR) Yves Arsen this Cerean male was the owner and operator of the Spirited Spirits shop in Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (EOS) YVH 1 developed by Tenandro Arms and known as Yuuzhan Vong Hunters, this was a line of specially-programmed military droids, designed to combat the increasingly dangerous Yuuzhan Vong threat to the galaxy. First activated some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin, the YVH-1 was given top-of-the-line search-and-indentify engineering, allowing it to distinguish between the alien invaders and the citizens of the New Republic. It was heavily armed, having a variable-output blaster cannon in its right arm and an adaptable left arm which could accept heavy lasers, projectile launchers, and sonic rifles. The YVH 1 was protected by layers of laminanium armor, giving the droid regenerative armor plating. In stature, the YVH-1 was strikingly similar to a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, although it was never learned if this was intentional and meant to provoke the alien invaders. Because of their appearance, they were often referred to as Yuuzhandroids. As the war against the Yuuzhan Vong wore on, Lando Calrissian had the droids programmed with coded messages for use as war cries. More often than not, the war cries were in the Yuuzhan Vong language, and made known the fact that machines were superior to the Yuuzhan Vong. (SBS, EL1) YVH 1-1A this was the designation of the very first YVH 1 prototype combat droid, produced by Tendrando Arms and demonstrated to Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya, some two years into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Despite having most of its targeting and combat programming disabled or inhibited because of the public nature of the demonstration, YVH 1-1A nonentheless positively identified the Yuuzhan Vong assassins smuggled onto Coruscant by Bjork Umi and eliminated them. When YVH 1-1A realized that its blasters had been set permanently to a low-power setting, it was forced to revert to other methods of attacking the assassins, including crushing a Yuuzhan Vong warrior in its arms. YVH 1-1A was later assigned to the Jedi strike force which was allowed to be captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to infiltrate the worldship laboratory near Myrkr and destroy the voxin queen. YVH 1-1A identified Anakin Solo as the commander of the mission, and referred to the other members as "Private," in keeping with the seemingly military nature of the mission. YVH 1-1A then served as the leader of the droid forces on the mission, coordinating the activities of YVH 2-1S and YVH 2-4S. After ensuring that the Jedi strike team was aboard the Exquisite Death, YVH 1-1A returned to Lando Calrissian. During the evacuation of the planet Coruscant, YVH 1-1A was instrumental in recovering Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt. 1-1A then traveled to Borleias with the remnants of the New Republic. Over time, YVH 1-1A began to develop a personality, and spent a great deal of time harassing Lando. 1-1A and Lando were assigned as pilots of the Record Time, during Luke Skywalker's plan to filtrate Coruscant. The pair had to fake the destruction of the ship, allowing Luke's insertion team to reach the surface while escaping themselves. (SBS, EL1) YVH 1-24A this Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One droid was part of the team assembled by Lando Calrissian to rescue Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt during the evacuation of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the capital of the New Republic. (SBS) YVH 1-25A this Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One droid was part of the team assembled by Lando Calrissian to rescue Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt during the evacuation of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the capital of the New Republic. Unfortunately for the droid, it was the first to encounter a Yuuzhan Vong singularity mine aboard the ship, and was destroyed when it was sucked into the miniature black hole. (SBS) YVH 1-302A this was one of the first Tendrando Arms YVH 1 droids provided to General Ba'tra during the Second Battle of Coruscant. (SBS) YVH 1-32A this Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One droid was part of the team assembled by Lando Calrissian to rescue Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt during the evacuation of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the capital of the New Republic. (SBS) YVH 1-507A this was one of the Tendrando Arms YVH 1 combat droids assigned to protect Han and Leia Organa Solo, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong first invaded the galaxy. Its primary mission was to protect the Solos, but it was also responsible for the life of Ben Skywalker, who was stayed on Coruscant with them. YVH 1-507A discovered that a pair of Yuuzhan Vong had infiltrated the Eastport docking facility, and eliminated them before they could harm anyone. YVH 1-507A later ascertained that Viqi Shesh was using an ooglith masquer while posing as the refugee woman Welda, thereby thwarting Shesh's attempt to harm the Solos. However, Shesh had left behind an active thermal detonator. In a valiant effort to save as many people as it could, YVH 1-507A took the detonator to an empty docking bay and allowed it to explode. The droid was vaporized in the resulting explosion. (SBS) YVH 2-1S this was one of two Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter S-series droids assigned to the Jedi Knight strike team which tried to eliminate the voxyn queen at Myrkr, some two years into the alien invasion of the galaxy. Along with YVH 2-4S, YVH 2-1S rode along in the hold of the Stardream until Duman Yaght and the Exquisite Death intercepted the yacht. While the Jedi were being impounded, the two droids attached themselves to the exterior of the Exquisite Death and awaited a signal from Anakin Solo to begin their attack. YVH 2-1S took heavy fire during the capture of the Yuuzhan Vong warship, and had to undergo extensive repairs in order to remain functional. The repairs did little to make the droid operational, and 2-1S made the ultimate sacrifice by allowing itself to assist in helping Ulaha Kore escape from Myrkr. While the Bith fled in the Exquisite Death, 2-1S flew into space and detonated a huge explosive device, destroying itself in order to take out the Yuuzhan Vong ships which moved to intercept Kore. (SBS) YVH 2-4S this was one of two Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter S-Series droids assigned to the Jedi Knight strike team which tried to eliminate the voxyn queen at Myrkr, some two years into the alien invasion of the galaxy. Along with YVH 2-1S, YVH 2-4S rode along in the hold of the Stardream until Duman Yaght and the Exquisite Death intercepted the yacht. While the Jedi were being impounded, the two droids attached themselves to the exterior of the Exquisite Death and awaited a signal from Anakin Solo to begin their attack. Once the Jedi had control of the ship, they were able to reach Myrkr, but their attempt to infiltrate the Baanu Rass was initially thwarted. YVH 2-4S allowed itself to be destroyed in the space above the worldship, thereby providing a distraction that allowed the surviving Jedi to get abaord it. (SBS) YVH S-series developed by Tendrando Arms, this was a specialized version of the Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One combat droid. It was given a unique form of laminanium armor plating, which had the ability to mimic the surroundings of the droid and provide excellent camouflage. (SBS) YVH-M this combat droid was derived from the original YVH-1 Yuuzhan Vong Hunter droid. Lando Calrissian and his confederates took the central processing unit of the lumbering YVH-1 and extracted the key programming, then stored it in a miniature processor that fit inside the chassis of an MSE-6 mouse droid. This new droid had several advantages over the larger unit. First, it could move about in almost any location, following any individual it suspected of being a Yuuzhan Vong infiltrator. Second, because mouse droids were used throughout the galaxy, and because nobody ever paid them any heed, the YVH-M could move about in virtual obscurity while it searched for possible Yuuzhan Vong individuals. (DW) YVH-M-1 this was the first of the YVH-M droids produced by Lando Calrissian. It was given to Mara Jade Skywalker, who used the droid to locate Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators on Heurkea, shortly before the Battle of Ebaq. (DW) Yvonne Targis this near-human female was the proprietor of Mos Eisley's transport depot. (GG7) Y-Wing this was the common name of the Koensayr BTL Longprobe Starfighter. Originally designed for long range reconnaissance, this J-type snub fighter has twin-propulsion systems behind a single cockpit. The BTL-A4 is a 16-meter-long, one-man fighter with space for an astromech droid. The BTL-S3 is a two-man fighter, also equipped with an astromech droid. They can make 80 MGLT at sublight speeds, and can maneuver at 1,000 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. Because the Y-Wing required constant repairs, the Alliance - and many other independent parties - stripped off the outer hull covering the craft, aft of the cockpit, to make repairs easier to execute. The durability of the Y-Wing made it a staple in the Alliance's starfighter corps, and it was rumored that the Alliance lost more Y-Wings than any other ship type during the Galactic Civil War. It boasts the following shipboard systems: Gax Revival Life Support System R2 Astromech Unit for Navigation 2 ArMek SW4 Laser Cannons mounted on top Titanium Reinforced Alusteel Alloy Hull (rated at 40 RU) Thiodyne O-3R Ionization Reactor Koensayr R300-H Hyperdrive Motivation Unit Long Range Phased Tachyon Detection Array Model Number PA-9r Short Range Primary Threat Analysis Grid Number PG-7u 2 Disk Ventrals for maneuvering Cryogenic Power Cells Subpro NH-7 Avionics Control Package Fabritech ANs-5d Sensor Unit SI 5G7 Quickscan Vector Imaging Crosshairs 2 Koensayr R200 Ion Fission Engines 2 Taim and Bak KX5 Laser Cannons mounted on nose (early versions and many BTL-S3's used IX4 cannons) Novaldex Power Generator Chempat Shield Projector (rated at 75 SBD) Fabritech ANc-2.7 Tracking Computer Arakyd Flex Tube Proton Torpedo Launchers (2 racks of 4 each) Note that there was a specially-built version of the Y-Wing bomber which appeared in the Marvel Comics Star Wars series, which had a cockpit that was big enough for four beings to move about in comfortably. It even had an airlock which allowed its occupants to move from ship to ship. (SW, SCRE, SWSB, IG1, ICS, CHRN, LTA2) Ywllandr System this star system saw heavy fighing during the final stages of the Clone Wars. The Confederacy of Independent Systems initially took control of the system, using it as the choke point in a scheme which forced Republic starships to travel through the system to reach other parts of the Outer Rim Territories. Jedi Master Plo Koon took the Courageous and a small fleet to the Ywllandr System, and tried to remove the Separatist threat. (E3N) YX-90 this droid motivation unit was developed by Cybot Galactica for use in the TDL-501 series of waitress droids. (MJH) Yyegar Sugar this was considered the sweetest and finest sugar available in the galaxy, during the last years of the Old Republic. (MBS) Yyintar this man, a native of Elshandruu Pica, served as the cook aboard The Prishellan Dawn during the last years of the New Order. (GUN) Yyrta the yellow star that is the center of the Yyrtan System. (SWJ1) YZ-1000 one of the earliest Corellian Engineering Corporation transport designs, they were considered outdated during the period surrounding the Battle of Naboo. (RP) YZ-775 this Corellian Engineering Corporation transport was promoted as a ship that would allow merchants to protect their cargoes from ambushes and raids. However, this claim was taken with a grain of salt when it came to its actual design. The YZ-775 was adapted from the design of the Corellian Gunship, measured 52 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of turbolaser cannons, two twin laser cannons, and two proton torpedo tubes. Its crew of eight handled all shipboard systems, and the YZ-775 could transport up to fourteen passengers and 400 metric tons of cargo. Its huge sublight engines and enhanced shield systems made the YZ-775 more of a paramilitary transport than a shipping vessel. Despite its military appearance, the YZ-775 found its greatest acceptance among independent cargo haulers. (GMR2, GMR9) YZ-900 following in the tradition of the YZ-775, the Corellian Engineering Corporation's YZ-900 was capital ship-sized cargo vessel which appeared to be more of a paramilitary assault craft. Measuring 54.3 meters in length, the YZ-900 was armed with a pair of heavy twin laser cannons, two double laser cannons, and a pair of concussion missile launchers that fired fore and aft. The YZ-900 required a crew of eight to operate, including gunners, and could carry up to fourteen passengers and 500 metric tons of cargo. (GMR2) Yzalli, Eamon this was Corran Horn's alias when he went undercover and worked for Mosh Barris on Garqi. Yzalli was a native of Alderaan who devised a clever plan to expose the rebellion on Garqi, but he would actually free them from Barris' prisons and implicate the Prefect as a traitor to the Empire. Yzalli was to be executed by Barris for his "treachery," but instead sent a coded message to Kirtan Loor. The message implicated Barris in the escape of the Star's Delight, and claimed that he was planning to usurp Governor Tadrin and turn Garqi over to the New Republic. Horn later used the Yzalli alias, this time as a ship's mechanic aboard the Mimban Cloudrider when Rogue Squadron first pirated from Ysanne Isard's bacta cartel. (TFE, BW, SWJ7) |
